The act of gathering reference is such a deeper thing than just a fucking collage.
It's research, learning, assessing and building on your knowledge base.
Even google image search is dog shit for this, crack a fucking book.
Learning names, history, influences.

Sometimes journalism can feel like an impossibility in 2025. Especially journalism that holds power accountable, that fights against elite interests.
Fascist governments seek to silence us, whether by bullying, censorship and intimidation or more directly bombs and bullets.

One of Jim's great skills is stretching. He is better at this than any other cat. People comment on it all the time when they visit our house.
"Holy shit, man, your cat is REALLY fucking good at stretching," they will remark,
"That's because he is orange," we will reply. "And because he's Jim."

Print seps time! 💙💗💛
I scanned the trad inks back into the 'puter to color digitally and separate out for 3-color riso printing.
Originally I was going to send in this digital comp for the cover, but big brained @rymakes.bsky.social suggested scanning in a print and using that instead! (5/7)
