Q1: better late than never
Thank you all so much for your saintly patience with Q1.
I knew that, in the early part of 2025, I would be fully distracted attending to print production on 2025-06-03 23:40:09 +0000 UTC View Post

Tiny copies of "This Book is a Planetarium" coming to you…
Hi all! Happy new year!
For the first quarterly installment of mail club (Q4 of 2024), I embarked on the ambitious project of hand-building each of you a 1/8th scale version of "This Book is a Planetarium." They are just so cute. They also ...
August project is going out (only 1 month late…!) 😂
Hi all,
At long last, the new book made it to the printer and August's project is printed, assembled, and beginning to ship out! I drew work from the book and made everyone two stationery sets. I hope they will impress your design...
August is late, but coming!
Hi you all! Just a reminder that August 2024 is the last month of "monthly" mail club. We are now "quarterly." Your monthly subscription charge will now be 8$ (same price per shipment. / less shipments per year)
Also: some of you know that ...
July: Interactive RISO posters
Hi all, For July, I made 13x19" risographed (and lasercut posters) that are… sort of magic? Turn the wheel to get more animation than you might expect from a simple gesture (like a whole galaxy of animation!) This design is the letter O from my ...
2024-07-31 13:00:59 +0000 UTC View PostRISO animation flipbooks coming!
I’ve been wanting to make RISO-animation-something and it finally happened in June! This is an experimental flipbook that can either be flipped in sections or flipped all together at once, as its pages are cut, but the sections are perfect-bound...

Hi all and happy Memorial Day weekend,
May's project will be shipping-out this week (a post about it is imminent!) but I wanted to post a video showing how to solve/complete the Poptical Illusion pop-up of rotating circles (from April, whic...
April is on its way!
Happy Spring you all. April finally shipped out yesterday. 🎉
I'm kind of astonished to say that I got to work with one of the co-founders of the Velvet Undergr...
The March Project is on its way: 🌘 Eclipse Viewer + Experiments with Light
Coming your way:
A paper viewer for the April 8th solar eclipse. And a booklet explaining how you can use it (with other paper thingamabobs embedded into the cover.)
The overarching theme is that you can use paper as an interface on l...
2024-04-03 19:21:20 +0000 UTC View PostFebruary shipments are in the mail!
I have always wanted to make a book on transluscent vellum. The overlapping pages create what artists in the Renaissance called 'sfumato'—an atmospheric haziness that creates the illusion of real space. And so for February, I'm sending &nb...
2024-03-06 19:27:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe Project Impasse Toolkit
Ever get stuck on a project? (Or, like me, do you have 27 unfinished projects from 2023 that you need to unstick?)
My friend April Soetarman (@weirdsideprojects on IG) and I made a toolkit for this!
You can either roll the dice...
Happy 2024
Happy New Year, you all!
Hopefully by now, you've received the December mailing, which are these "Happy New Year" cards that create the illusion of sparkling, exploding fireworks. They were made with…what is apparently… the world's faste...
2023-12-30 17:39:07 +0000 UTC View PostNovember just shipped
Hi all!
November's project is a set of holiday cards. It is an example of what paper engineers call a "cobweb structure." I used a nested beehive to create a Christmas tree that rises up out of the paper with an external-tree layer, an inter...

September's experiment is a foldable illusion wall hanging. Specifically, it is a wall hanging that winks as you walk by it (perennially approving of your outfit!)
One of the sheets will arrive folded, as a model for how to fold the others....
August Mailing
Hi you all,
The August mailing is dispatched and on its way to you! It is something that you have likely seen before, but all of the ingredients for an immediate adventure are included… so I hope you have fun with it.

2023-08-29 17:43:57 +0000 UTC View PostJuly's shipment went out a little late
Hi all,
I've been overwhelmed by the early adopter response, which made shipping a bigger deal this month than expected. (A good problem to have. :)) Because of that, your July packages only made it into the mailbox this weekend. ...
