Seeking unexpected parallels in Edie Fake’s Sweetmeats 2.
Gaylord Phoenix 6, the conclusion of the series so far, already appeared in the comprehensively excellent Secret Acres collection, but is unspeakably more perfect when printed in rich purple-on-pink by Edie Fake himself.
A panel from Edie Fake’s “Sweetmeats”. The book is tiny, but so detailed that blowing up single panels seems the way to post it, actually.
The opening spread of Edie Fake’s fantastic new “Sweetmeats”, a foray into occult psychedelia and mysterious low-contrast color printing. Originally part of the Vacuum Horror anthology, this is indeed a seeming horror story, rather a departure from the (also excellent) Gaylord Pheonix series, which just saw its latest installment, and which we’ll also be posting shortly. (Found at the Needles and Pens table at the NY Art Book Fest this weekend).
