Winter Collection

2dcloud

2dcloud takes chances on work that takes chances. Their optimism is contagious. The world of comics — and the world of culture — can’t afford to be without them. — Bill Kartalopoulos, The Best American Comics Series Editor

2dcloud goes boldly where other comics publishers fear to tread. — Anders Nilsen

2dcloud is proud to announce the Winter Collection, a labor of love years in the making, presenting major new works by emerging and established artists. Gulag Casual presents the last 6 years of Austin English’s comics in an expansive, full color, large format book. ITDN collects all 5 years of Andy Burkholder’s wildly diverse, anonymous, project of the same name. Mirror Mirror #1 features 10 emerging artists in an exhibition—in—print edited by Blaise Larmee. Sec is the latest of Sarah Ferrick’s series of love poems. Altcomics Magazine continues its journey into a second issue.

Austin English’s drawing is gelatinous, daubed, stroked, smeared, erased, redrawn, sculpted, twisted, cringes, flattens out as it squashes inward, maybe reminds one of a landscape and populace for Stravinsky folk songs, or a dream program for tragic Polish puppet plays, crowded, self-replicating and worth checking out. — Gary Panter

A thoughtful artist pushing at the boundaries of what modern comics will accept in terms of an artistic approach. — The Comics Reporter

Gulag Casual, the new collection by acclaimed illustrator and cartoonist Austin English, presents some of the most mature and sustained work yet from a constantly challenging and essential artist. This new suite of short stories collects material from 2010—2015, showcasing the kind of imaginative imagery which firmly establishes English as one of the most innovative cartoonists in practice today.

One morning at a gig space in Baltimore I watched Andy Burkholder pick up a tube of leftover frosting and use it to casually draw a simple but legible comic strip onto a piece of cardboard. His uninhibited intelligence and direct style create the conditions for breakthrough work. ITDN is the laboratory from which his later achievements have emerged. — Bill Kartalopoulos

A safari through the wilderness of human behavior. — Anna Haifisch

ITDN Group published a series of comics pamphlets from 2010—2014. Each issue was anonymously authored and included the possibility of being created by a different person. The ‘group’ — plural, informal, and rigid — is the only thing cohering the series together. A follow-up to Qviet, this collection documents Burkholder’s earlier years, providing insights into his explorations of the themes and concepts that underpin many of his more broadly received works.

Sarah Ferrick is doing some of the most intimate and innovative comics out there —Shawn Starr

When sometimes I feel dead inside, Sarah’s comics wake me up. — Erik Nebel

Sarah Ferrick is one of my favorite cartoonists. — G.W. Duncanson

Sarah Ferrick’s output from 2014—2016 has taken the form of love letters. From the carefree Ssong, to the despairing Hey, and now to the blooming flowers of Sec.
