Goose County

It was a first time offence, so the officer reduced the fine to the standard rate for a cursed tome. Apparently the Oxford primer on magical realism I was carrying had been printed three years before the printing press was invented.

Goose County is a crunchy bitmap exploration of the twisting landscapes found nestled between England's disused canals. This digital translation of the original handmade pamphlet is designed for you to freely read online in a style loosely inspired by Jon Boi's football 17776.

To read or print the zine in its older format just download the PDF.

I enjoyed this, though it had fewer Geese than I was expecting. I love the starkness given to the pictures by the halftone screens. It reminds me of things I used to do (many, many) decades ago in Hypercard, when the only art it could support was 1-bit dithers. The dithering gave the same sort of quality to the images.

They certainly do! I am now much more Goose'd than I was before. This is a good thing.
