Adventurous Andy
Adventurous Andy and the Mystery of the Mischievous Mycelium is a 16 page zine about a "dog walk gone wrong", which pays homage to my late beloved dogs Otis and Luna, as well as Jerma, a content creator who's endless creativity and energy has inspired me through many years to keep making work and making others laugh. The zine is printed in Risography using duotones, and most are folded in a simple booklet format with the exception of 3, which were printed and bound using the "drum-leaf" book binding method. The clamshell box and book covers were all handmade by me as well. I also elected to go for a "digital collage" look for the style, with some occasional hand drawn elements, which branches from my usual stuff, as I found it fitting for the kind of humor I was aiming for.
