cover of FUTBOLISTA by Jonny Garza Villa
a page from FUTBOLISTA by Jonny Garza Villa, the beginning of chapter 11, page 92. the blue being referenced here is the “bold blue Islander Soccer tees” all four of these freshmen soccer players are wearing because they all share the same brain cell.
“NOWHERE BOOKSHOP PRESENTS JONNY GARZA VILLA; TUESDAY, APRIL 15 at 6PM” an aqua blue background with soccer balls, an image of Jonny of the Futbolista book cover.
lotería card inspired art of Ander Martínez from ANDER & SANTI WERE HERE by @mmarsloud. they are wearing a cropped white tee with CHICANE printed repeatedly down the front in a plastic bag inspired fashion with all but one in red outline and a single one in bold red. they are wearing a military green jacket and shorts with an inseam as close to zero as possible. they are holding a can of spray paint. they are standing in front of a yellow wall with various little painted moments like cacti and light yellow beams, almost religious looking in nature. on the top left is the number four and at the bottom is LE MURALISTA.
