The first announcement of tallent for the DON’T FOLD PRESS graphic novel anthology Something Alien. The image is made to look like paper with a torn piece that shows the cartoon face of Shay Commander/Cadaverkeys. The text describing them is as follows: “With more than 38k followers on Tiktok and across the web Shay Commander or @Cadaverkeys started their arts career as a dingle award winning animation director. They are a contributor to the Ringo and Eisner awards nominee ‘Sensory: Life on the spectrum’. Painting their comics, Shay’s work stands out from anyone else working today. With their detailed rendering and their articulate style. Shay’s story for Something alien is a childlike fairy tale about a martian bug who sees a light in the sky. This one’s ending will cut deep, look forward to it.”
Image ID: A border of circular stickers surrounds the image they all read Don’t fold press. On white paper taped onto the page the words “SOMETHING ALIEN” are written in a pulp style reminiscent of Mondo film posters of yesteryear. Below that reads the word “Anthology” on a sticker. Typed bellow this in a digital font “This will be the launching project for Don’t Fold Press and we are shooting for the stars with it. (pun earnestly intended) I have hand picked the 12 players included in this comic because I have complete faith in them to create something that shines like a star. (Pun noted also) Every creative was tasked with pitching me a story from the simple prompt “Show me something alien” the wide breadth of tones and genres I feel convey how each of the creatives bring different perspectives and skills to the book. ‘Don’t Fold Presents: Something Alien’ will be on pre-launch from the 12th of may. The full launch will take place on June 17th.” Around the page are stickers drawn by some of the attached artists. A cat alien wearing a long sleeve short sleeve combo and trip pants. A blue alien with a strange head with a halo of celtic patters. A long necked quadruped creature. A classic alien as seen in the infamous ‘alien autopsy’ video.
