Hey look, it’s ghost prints from me making delirious mistakes while printing the covers for SG12 #4! Everyone should go “like” DuelTone Printmaking on FB right now. Matt and I printed all 500 covers in a week-long orgy of pain and rage and he deserves more followers (and business, if you need something printed at reasonable prices).
This Saturday François will be headed up to Washington to represent the Gang de Presse at the Olympia Comics Fest on June 2nd. He had a great time last year, and this year looks like great show, with folks like Andrice Arp, Sean Christensen, Tugboat Press, Studio JFISH, Sparkplug Comic Books, Kinoko, and many more, including Special Guests Jason Shiga, Mike Allred, and Shannon Wheeler… And they have wild stuff like a stage show, too!?!?! Bonkers. Should be fun for everyone who comes out!
We’ll have all the usual Press Gang goodies from Floating World Comics, Study Group Comic Books, and Family Style.

FLYING FORTRESS BOOK REVIEW:
OBJECT 5 : Works by Kilian Eng
Kilian Eng is a Swedish Graphic Artist who constructs unbelievable worlds out the strange and beautiful. Under the handle DW Design, Eng has made a variety of work from editorial illustrations to short animated films. His science fiction world is rich with luminous technology, alien plants, and lone characters that encourage a feeling of lost but without panic.
His new book “Object 5” showcases his brilliant work in a very simple, straight forward way that will leave you inspired. You can order it Here if you live in the US.
The whole Press Gang team of Family Style, Study Group Comic Books, and Floating World Comics will be out in force at this weekend’s Stumptown Comics Fest in Portland OR. This will actually be the first show where all thre Press Gang founding fathers (Jason, Zack, and François) will be present! There is a solid chance that the awesome will simply be too much and the Press Gang pavilion will burst into flames.
In addition to all of our awesome publications, such as ELFWORLD, Study Group Magazine, D.I.Y. Magic, and much more, we’ll also have all of the Good Ink titles from Scout Books which François has been editing, and bonus titles and art from some of our many contributors and friends. We’ll have a wonderful array of creators hanging out and signing at our massive Press Gang pavilion including Zack Soto, Jason Leivian, François Vigneault, Benjamin Marra, Kaz Strzepek, Ian MacEwan, Andrice Arp, and more!
Come by any time this weekend to visit!

Floating World has teamed with Traditional Comics to reprint Benjamin Marra’s sold out Elf Booklet series, Drawings Inspired by the Motion Picture “American Psycho”. The original artwork was rescanned and published as a 32 page broadsheet (15” x 22.75”) newspaper. Three new illustrations and brand new covers were created for this limited edition of 1500 copies.
“Employing Raymond Pettibon’s aesthetics and inspired by the movie “American Psycho”, these 28 illustrations “seem almost mathematically calculated to haunt the eyes they meet: whether it’s the sublimely balanced blacks and whites or the point-of-impact axe to neck shots… the real story here is Marra’s art, which is far and away the best work of his career.” – Matt Seneca, Comics Alliance
Just a quick note to let everyone know PRESS GANG (in the form of Jason from Floating World and myself) will be at the Emerald City Comicon this weekend, on the corner of the Top Shelf booth, #803. Brett was kind enough to offer us a presence at the show when our last ditch efforts to table fell through.
So come say hi and pick up the new Elf World #3,
& Object 5!
I think that’s all we’re bringing this time around.
PS: has everyone been reading the new serials JACKS and THE BLONDE WOMAN? Pretty cool, huh!
My first book OBJECT 5 is now available trough this page . If you live in America a better alternative could be to get it from the publisher Floating World Comics instead, since they ship from the states.
