/////////////////////////////////////////////// NEW 11"x11" PRINT: 'THE WHITE STAG' BY CHARLENE CHUA

So are you digging that AMAAAAAAAZZZZZINNNNNNNG print design? Seriously, look at it.

That print design, known as The White Stag after the legendary white stag of Scythia, is what happens when you loop in someone like illustrator Charlene Chua to explore Sword & Sworcery's mythopoetic psychocosmology. Ink blot patterns, wildlife & nature imagery, cosmic geometry & cryptozoological phenomena... they're all in there.

Order one of the 100 remaining vinyl records of Jim Guthrie's Sword & Sworcery LP from the newly-arrived second pressing of 500 and it'll include this amazing limited edition 11"x11" print. The vinyl record also includes a digital download code. Note: Ordering the vinyl record is the only way to secure a print of The White Stag by Charlene Chua.

Be sure to stop by Toronto illustrator Charlene Chua's portfolio, she's awesome.

For more information about the vinyl or digital download edition of Jim Guthrie's Sword & Sworcery LP: The Ballad of the Space Babies, stop on over here.

For questions about record type things, be sure to check in with Jim Guthrie, who has heroically been handling the whole music thing right over here.

/////////////////////////////////////////////// BOOM.

Since its release on the App Store two months ago the Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP App has reached over 200,000 people. Boom.

To everyone out there who took the time to explore the Sword & Sworcery project and help us spread the word: we are so very glad you dug it & we are immensely grateful for your support.

Hopefully we'll see you at the MIDSUMMER ROCKSHOWCASE or the Hand Eye Society's summer social if you're in Toronto.

If you're elsewhere on the planet, maybe just keep your ear to the ground when the Dark Moon reigns?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are so thankful for your attention as you struggle through our unnecessarily verbose elocution (which has occasionally been described as irritatingly cryptic). We know there have been awkward situations wherein some lovely folks who are generously & optimistically anticipating the release of S:S&S EP feel a bit bananas miffed at times, if they're being honest, even though they totally understand & wish us well otherwise.
