Hiiii! I hope your day is well!!!! I was curious as to if there was a way where I could still order this despite having missed the date? :( I just saw this now and are very disappointed I missed the date!

Hello! Unfortunately we currently have no plans to reopen our shop, though we are considering making the zine free to download in a couple months so it's not lost to time. We have no specific date yet, though. We hope you understand!

My page for @grandfestzine !!!

from the depths… comes a magazine?

NEXT STOP: DEEPSEA METRO was my piece for team future for @grandfestzine ! i wanted to imagine what a line in the metro after octo expansion would possibly look like by the time of splatoon 3, with a tiny hint of inspiration from the haikara walker artbook. (more under the cut here)

a lot of my references for these pages were teen magazines, particularly seventeen magazine issues from around 2002-2004, and advertisements with the (checks notes) gen x soft club style. i don’t think it stood out, but hey. i like helvetica.

most of this was to kinda follow up on octo expansion’s elements of memory and nostalgia though with a slightly different lens as things are a bit different. inkfish from the surface (likely inkadia here) are leaking in as turf war culture spreads (they probably saw decaying testing stations with turf war stage copies and thought “hey. we could work with this”)

and well. nostalgia for past toys, trinkets, clothes can be a double edged sword. consumption for such is capitalized on by corporations, and mass consumption just for the aesthetic can be wasteful! you can also make something into your own, reuse and revitalize things you once loved and cherished into something that represents you. that’s why a part of me wanted to make a lot of the weapons and specials plastic and toy-like too for that same reason.

i think the connection between individuality and consumer culture is interesting, especially in the world of splatoon where fashion and weapons are a really big thing. but i mean, of course it’s not going to be that visible under vivid colors and fresh fits. it’s an advertisement, after all ^_^”
