Attention: "Paso" by @anibalbley still available! Paso is spanish for "step, pace, path, way"; and a response when you don't know an answer or don't have any moves left and you have to pass. Paso by Anibal Bley is close to both meanings: the passage and the omission. The zine comes with a poster and is packaged in a plastic baggie for ultimate travel and weather-proofing. Available on txtbooks.us or if you wanna DM us that's cool too 😎 local pickup available -- #risograph #zine #print #nyabf #drawing #artist #book #poster

Attention Instagram! This is not a drill! We were lounging in our newly acquired cornfield when we learned that we've been hacked by the founders of Whoa Fuck Maaaan for Distributing their savings guide "illegally!" We must liquidate all stock ASAP! And, that includes our cornfield! Order in the next 24 hours and we'll send you a whopping 24 unpopped corn kernels with your purchase! Again, this is not a drill! Our servers our shorting out -- I think there are drones above--please someone contact our lawyers, our loved ones, our studio manager... #savetxtbooks #saveprint #suewhoafuckmaaaan #whoafuckmaaaangate #zine #risograph #bootleg
