ENTER: CHIMERA.

Our main focus is to speak up on fem-forward and societal issues that others might be uncomfortable bringing up themselves. We also try to have fun playing music.

Calendar ’25.

So here’s a test example of what I made… I don’t think it looks bad, but it seems a little basic, for sure. Almost too basic. I liked the idea of very simple calendar pages, as to not take away from the photos. Because the emphasis is on these photographers and the way these photos… Continue reading Calendar ’25.

One of them might be a split with our good IE doom homies, but you’ll hear more about it as it develops.

Every Venue is Dead – CON on OC Generator Shows.
