Hello.

Would you like to do a drawing challenge with me in the month of March?

I am going to try to draw a thing, as described in the above helpful chart, every day.

I’ll be posting my drawings right here. If you want to add your drawings just submit ‘em and I’ll post those, too! If every day is too much you can just do the columns with your favorite colors or whatever you want.

Goodbye!

Mierle Laderman Ukeles, The Keeping of the Keys, Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford, Connecticut, 1973. Helen Molesworth writes, “In The Keeping of the Keys, Ukeles took the museum guards’ keys and systematically locked and unlocked museum doors throughout the day, wreaking havoc on the logic of the museum’s workday. The piece so infuriated the curators, who felt that their office should be exempt, that when Ukeles announced that the office was to become a piece of maintenance art, all but one curator ran out of the room, fleeing both the artist and their own work.”

Western k-pop coverage is still so lacking because there’s very little happening in the space between fetishism and lol look at these wacky pop stars. Then when someone tries to take it more seriously, they take it too seriously and end up misrepresenting k-pop to the non-k-pop listening world. Idk I guess I’d much rather hear from fans with Feelings than critics with Thoughts because fans who feel everything also overthink things in the best way, while critics overthink all the wrong things and don’t feel enough and we end up with boring, off the pulse writing for some of the most exciting music you can listen to right now.

We got a nice writeup as part of the Seattle Review of Books’ post-Short Run roundup: 

“Another feminist book I picked up at the show, The Important Business Ladies’ Guide to Important Business for Ladies, examined themes like workplace harassment, gender pay inequality, and the history of women in the workplace. Cartoonists Jennie Yim, Emily Alden Foster, and Abigail Rae Young use a combination of comics, text, and multimedia art to tell the stories of women in the workplace. They interview their grandmothers about what it was like to take jobs for the first time. They talk about their own worst jobs (Young’s account of working in the fashion industry is maybe the most illuminating — and horrifying.) They photocopied a few pages of Sheryl Sandberg’s supposed feminist manifesto Lean In with handwritten “suggested edits” drawn on top. (One note accuses Sandberg of body-shaming her pregnant self for telling an anecdote using the words “waddling” and “whale” to describe herself.) It’s a substantial, funny, and philosophical look into the state of workplace feminism in the early 21st century.“

There was a ton of amazing stuff at Short Run, so I’m really flattered that our zine stood out. 

You can get a copy here.
