Shaving In The Dark
Yesterday we held our fair day this year「 The Summer Get Down 」, and took a trip with our friend SHAVING IN THE DARK by their buzzed doodling fun drawings. It was interesting to see how they interpret their ideas over simple objects and photos of people. The visual representation really gives it a unique depth.

Their quarterly anthology zine is now on Issue 5. Next issue’s theme is MUTE, an experiment in non- verbal comics. Their goal is to create universal and yet very personal comics that can be read across language barriers. (submissions open until August 15)
