March 3rd – Habitat book release & art exhibit with Dunja Jankovic

If the time you spend at your job compresses your soul to the size of an organic soy bean, your subway ride sucks out the last healthy particle out of your cerebral cortex, and you still think that everything will be alright once you reach that little private box of yours you call home, you’re terribly wrong. Something smells from between the walls.

Tune up your perceptual awareness and hold my hand.

Sounds like: traffic lights changing irregularly, thousands of mosquitos mating, squirrel chewing unidentified bone structure, old yogurt being dropped in a toilet bowl, white noise.

This March we are proud to host a release party for Dunja Jankovic’s second book published by Sparkplug Comics, Habitat #2. Dunja will be exhibiting collages, prints and original pages from her comics.

For this occasion, Habitat book will have a CD included, hand drawn by Dunja, featuring Habitat soundtrack made by Portland based music artist Toning.
