several copies of the zine "SIX SONGS" by Ezra Rose lie on a purple velvet cloth - one is open to an illustration of a person covered in hands and wings, and the text "he who hears the first voice is immediately stricken with folly and madness." a ring of antique keys and two quartz crystals also lie on the cloth.ALT
a black and white illustration of a terrified person covered in hands and wings, who is being sung to by a multi-winged angel with the skull of a child. the image is framed in a detailed border featuring the letter aleph and the Hebrew word for "insanity" or "madness" at the bottomALT

SIX SONGS, 2017

a short zine illustrating a chapter of the Hechalot Rabbati, an ancient Jewish mystical text which describes—in gory detail—the dangers of listening to the angels singing around the merkavah (holy chariot). it features detailed pen & ink artwork drawing from both Jewish symbolic tradition (including panel borders inspired by antique Ashkenazi gravestone carvings) and a modern macabre visionary style.

incredible to look back at this one 5 years later! my first Jewish zine. folks’ response to this really changed my whole creative practice & it helped me find my voice after almost a decade of artistic burnout.

still available as a free/pay-what-you-want digital download at itch.io, physical copies occasionally in my Etsy shop
