This Month, Pulp Paperworks welcomes Nautilus, a minicomic by Johannesburg-based q***r artist and zinester Tristan Baia.
Produced as part of their internship at PULP and inspired by indie comics and zines, Nautilus is an accordion fold minicomic which can be read page by page like a regular book, or unfolded to be read in comic strip format! Featuring a mother-of-pearl inspired holographic deboss on the cover, hand-drawn illustrations, and Japanese Suminagashi water marbling along its reverse side, Nautilus plays with the idea of holding onto secrets - and how secrets hold on to you.
Join us at the Pulp Studio at Victoria Yards from 10:00 to 12:00 on Saturday the 30th of May as we celebrate the launch of Nautilus with a special Suminagashi water marbling workshop! Entrance is free, but paper and ink are limited, so come through to the studio to grab a copy of Nautilus and a chance to make your own water marbled print.
