It features the experience of going to the ballet- one side shows the performance while the other shows the backstage. Side story: I obsessively watched the Swan Lake ballet as a child, had a dream of becoming a ballerina, failed at that and became an illustrator instead. In a way, I got the best of both worlds! You can order it from Nobrow site here. Note: this book will be released in the US in September.

Prior to this, I knew so little about Twin Peaks that I thought it was a movie, but seeing that all the cool kids knew about it, I felt like it was time to make that fact extinct! I sat through both seasons in less than a week, and created this image of poor Nadine after she attempted suicide. This page will be updated once the final zine is out! Stay tuned all you die hard Twin Peaks fans.
