Two Shawn Kuruneru zines

Shawn Kuruneru is an artist from southern Ontario, Canada. We went to the same high school years ago. Since then, he's made a lot of great work and showed it across Canada and the USA. He sent me these two zines.





The first zine is called Shadowboxing.
I really love Shawn's drawings. These photos don't exactly do the contrast justice. They feel really, really heavy and intimate.




The centerfold is my favorite.





There is more figurative work in the Upside Down Girl zine than in the other one. All really nice pen and ink drawings. One time Shawn got a bottle smashed over his head by some thugs. The suburbs are hard.













Shawn's the best! thanks!
