Providence artist and salty person Olivia Horvath made this well-considered zine, qtz. Mine came in an envelope made from the same green cardstock as the cover. The best of these drawings give me a taste of the escape I felt looking at detailed environments in Calvin & Hobbes Sunday pages when I was a kid. There are drawings in brush lines, and wash, but the pencil drawings sing with the most range. The figure drawings sit solid and supple. The best compliment I can give it is that it made me wanna draw.
OH sez, from their post about it:
