PAUSEBREAD PRESS RISOGRAPH PRINT from WEI & SUFEI

Castor Yan — Wed, 16 May 2012 09:22:31 +0000

“Pausebread Press” is a Risograph print shop in dalian, founded by Sufei and Wei from Bananafish Books. They hope all the local artists could be able to print their own zine with Pausebread. They named it “Pausebread” for the simple, clean, casual feelings that a good individual zine delivers, which is just like a bite of bread in the afternoon.

Risograph is a high-speed digital printing system manufactured by the Riso Kagaku Corporation and designed mainly for high-volume photocopying and printing. Increasingly, Risograph machines have been commonly referred to as a RISO Printer-Duplicator, due to their common usage as a network printer as well as a stand-alone duplicator.

Castor Yan — Tue, 15 May 2012 08:49:54 +0000

Duyukai and Tangya‘s animation “Musical Chairs” features a lot of folk patterns, and has a strong sense of local flavor. The background sounds includes shop drama, drums, rhythm, and the escalation of the process of the “Musical Chairs”. The contention surrounding the stool is a desire to win rather than a force, but desire never wins.
