January & February 2015 - Nunovit Issue 19 - DATING

ISSUE 19 JAN + FEB 2014

Hello lovers, we've missed you this long winter. Come snuggle up with some stories of romance and woe. Let us wonder whether the joys of relationships are worth the possible heartaches. Maybe pour yourself a drink. Pour us one while you're over there. Tales of modern dating await you including the familiar stories of being ditched at bars, flipping out, not fitting in and, of course - carbon dating. What's sexier than a pun? Nothing. The answer is nothing.

OCTOBER & NOVEMBER 2014 - NUNOVIT ISSUE 18 - DEATH

ISSUE 18 OCT + NOV 2014

As fall fades into winter, we're all thinking about the inevitability of endings--unless you're in the perma-summer of LA where time has no meaning. Either way: everybody dies! Celebrate the only certainty we have: DEATH! Your grandparents, parents, siblings, enemies, frenemies, dog, Beyonce, they're all eventually corpses. It's going to happen, so no use getting scared. Embrace the cold embrace of death with these awesome comics and illustrations. And happy Thanksgiving! AKA Turkey Death Day.

Confabulation with Shahrzad Ghadjar at LA's Artist and Fleas

"Mysticism Gone Wrong", "Metal Eastern" or "Blood and Naked People" are all perfect descriptions of Shahrzad's work. This past Saturday, November 15, 2014, I was able to catch up with her at her decked out booth at Artist & Fleas Market - a recent addition to LA's Arts District community which happens monthly every 3rd weekend. Check out the video interview and pics below! She's got style, she's got swag. Watch out urban outfitters and blank building walls, spooksvilla is coming atcha. Stroll on over and grab a coffee at Blue Bottle Co and see her Sunday November 16th from 11am - 5pm at 647 Mateo St. or you'll have to wait for a future Artist & Fleas! 

Shahrzad Ghadjar aka spooksvilla is an LA based artist. See her work at www.spooksvilla.com .

August & September 2014 - Nunovit Issue 17 - CHILDHOOD

ISSUE 17 AUG + SEP 2014

Hey, boo. Missed your face. I know we said we weren't gonna be gone that long this time, but life happens, you know. Sometimes a freight train rolls by and you just have to ride it. Or you have a lot of work, and like your boss just doesn't get that you have AWESOME COMICS to draw. The man just wants you to do spreadsheets. That's why we're taking you back to those carefree days of childhood--summer breaks, snowcones, and unshakeable terror of the dark.

We won't be gone so long this time. It's gonna be different this time, baby, we promise. This issue features the full first issue of EYESIGHT COMIX at the very end. Enjoy!

ISSUE 16 JULY 2014

Oh, how we have struggled our way back to you from the stars. Sorry July's Nunovit is barely squeezing into July. Would you believe we were abducted by aliens? Let's go with that. This summer fun pack has everything you need to get through the last dog days of summer: aliens...what else do you need? We want to believe! And we want to stay in the a/c and watch all of X-files on Netflix.

Confabulation with Michelle Yoon - Nunovit Issue 15 Cover Artist

Why do you make art?

I notice myself drawing something when I'm feeling anxiety or insecurity. Whether the art contains whimsy or melancholia, I feel better after venting through art.

Who or what are your inspirations?

Stylistic inspirations come from many different talented artists I come across in daily life. But story inspirations always come from personal experiences in social interactions. I'm fascinated with personalities and psychology, and that always seems to inspire me.

What importance, nourishment aside, does food play in your life?

Good food brings good times! I love splurging on food with friends and laughing about the silly noises we make when we do it. It just makes good memories.

What's your personal favorite recipe?

Ox tail soup

Ingredients

3 Oxtail Bones  Water! 5 Kale Stems, Cut Half an Onion, Cut 4 Garlic Cloves, Chopped    1 Tsp Ginger Powder    A pinch of Cayenne Pepper Powder Dried Basil     Salt .5 tbsp Soy Sauce Black Pepper Sesame Oil

Instructions Heat pot with sesame oil. Just slightly stir fry the entire ox tail bones with ginger powder  and pour water until the bones are completely submerged. Bring to boil for at least 30mins till the meat is tender. Add more water since water level decreases after boiling for a while. Add everything else. Boil for 10 mins, add a desirable amount of salt to taste and its done!

What’s the most aesthetically pleasing food you’ve come across?

Ube ice cream (purple yam) sprinkled with salted pistachios. I love the lime green of the pistachios against pastel-purple colored ice cream. It sounds plastic and inedible, but once you have a taste it all makes sense. It tastes amazing!
