Dwang #3 - From Tangerine Press

It's fun to feel utterly jazzed about things. Sometimes things are awesome. Like Dwang, Dwang is very awesome.
And I'm in Dwang#3.
And it is ready for public consumption.
Amen.

I know it ain't chicken scratch, but on the off chance you hit the Pick 3 this week, check out the insanely beautiful Wm. Wantling books while you're there. ONLY IN THE SUN is sold out, but THE FIX is available (though it must be pretty damn close to being sold out too). Don't quote me on it, but they are the only places I've found to read lots of his terrific work.
And they are beautifully made, by a human being, with his own two hands... so there's that too.
See what I mean? Awesome!
