2026 calendar
The 2026 calendar was inspired by the first-ever animation of a horse in motion. The layout features a sleeve that holds a wheel containing all the months, along with 12 frames of the original animation reimagined and redrawn.
The sleeve is made of pink paper, while the inside features cream paper. The back includes a folding mechanism that allows the calendar to stand on a table or be hung on a wall.
Illustrated by Gustavo Nascimento.

L stands for...
L Stands For… is a zine that takes as its starting point the iconic introduction of the early 2000s series The L Word, which strings together aspirational “L” words to frame lesbian identity. The publication expands this structure into two ranked lists of “good” and “bad” L-words, mimicking systems of categorization while exposing their limitations. A gradual color gradient (orange to white and pink to white) visually dissolves these distinctions, suggesting that identity cannot be purified or fixed. By holding contradiction and duality in tension, the work resists sanitized representations of lesbian identity and embraces its complexity.
It’s a two sides mechanism, both of them end with the word Lesbian.

atrazine
“I don’t like ’em putting chemicals in the water that turn the freakin’ frogs gay!”
Atrazine is a zine that responds to the cultural panic surrounding a pesticide accused of altering frog sexuality, widely popularized through the viral conspiracy rhetoric of Alex Jones. Drawing from this meme-driven narrative, the work examines how chemicals are framed as active agents capable of disrupting bodies and social order. Through a poetic love letter written from a frog to atrazine, the zine uses humor and absurdity to invert fear-based discourse. By granting the chemical emotional agency, the work destabilizes hierarchies between human, animal, and matter, reframing toxicity as relational and boundary-crossing.

não conta pra ninguém, tá?
Gustavo Nascimento presents his latest comic, Não Conta Pra Ninguém, Tá? The narrative unfolds through conversations that exist in a delicate space/exchanges that feel personal, yet occur between people who are not entirely close. By focusing on the subtleties of spoken language, the comic examines how communication can both bridge and expose gaps between individuals.

never friends, always lovers
Never Friends, Always Lovers is a zine composed of embroidered images that explore how relationships are read through sameness and difference. Using pairs of domestic objects and pop culture references, the work questions why difference is often interpreted as romantic while similarity is neutralized. Through repetition, mirroring, and subtle variation, the project resists both binary opposition and complete fusion, instead inhabiting an unstable space between the two. The use of pixelated cross-stitch introduces a tension between handmade craft and digital aesthetics, queering both the form and the representation of intimacy.
The zine was made entirely in cross-stitch and later photographed and separated in a two color profile and printed in RISO.
