• Was in St. Marks Books yesterday and a little “zine” of sorts caught my eye done by one Lief Parsons. Canadian born illustrator living and working in Brooklyn, best I can tell. Some good work.

Also of note is his well done signifiers project.

On the surface it is an innocent world, but on closer examination by our group of experts we find a forest where neurodevelopmental and psychosocial problems go unrecognized and untreated.
