It’s Pronounced Eleven-Thirty-Four: Who We Are

13 Aug

If you type 1134 in a calculator and turn it upside down, what does it spell?

1134 Press is an independent publisher and bookmaker based in Baltimore founded by G.J Sieck (a comic artist, writer, and metal head) and myself, Bryonna Jay (writer, book artist, and #carefreeblackgirl). We joined forces through our love for writing, books, and an affinity for outsider-hood, weirdness, and the strange.

We are nerds, skeptics, and we make free web-comics too! We also make handmade journals, available on Etsy and in our store.

Bow Down B*tches

Earlier this summer 2017 we published our first book, Gestalt by G.J. Sieck, a collection of short stories and sequential art. Give it a read, it’s a trip.

Get it here!

Here at 1134 Press we are coffee lovers, night owls, and…

We’ve been hard at work creating content and hand crafting products, and we want to take you all on for a ride as we continue to grow as a press and artists. Follow this blog for updates on what’s new with 1134 Press, bookmaking tutorials, calls for submissions, and other 1134 shenanigans.

Happy 4th of July

4 Jul

Happy 4th of July from 1134!

Back in 1776 the American colonies officially separated from British rule – good job!! Today, we celebrate this monumental event by stuffing our faces with wieners and maybe blowing a few digits off (hey, we’re born with ten so we have a few to spare! Just watch the thumbs, they’re the most important). So, let’s all put on our powdered wigs and American flag bathing suits and celebrate our independence from the crown! Drink a Budweiser – it’s the most American beer. Rock, Flag, and Eagle!

Keep an eye out for burning embers falling from the sky and be careful out in these drunk-driver filled streets. Basically, have a fun and safe Independence Day everybody! We need you all to survive so you can come back here and read more Blakbone . . . most importantly, to buy more books! LOL

But seriously – buy more books.

Have a good one everybody!

See you in the funny pages,

G.J. Sieck

Making Books!

29 Jun

Hello everybody!

We’ve been super busy at 1134 Comix / Press making books–we love it! Bree has been hard at work making the most awesome handmade journals. I’ve begun the arduous process of creating a graphic novel while furiously drawing the remainder of the current Blakbone story arc (which will be collected into a TPB in the fall).

We’re really excited about all the things we’re doing with 1134 Press and 1134 Comix! And there’s so much more we have in the works that I didn’t mention above. You can help us keep this book making train on the tracks by visiting our Gofundme page. It’s a great way to get a copy of 1134 Press’s first book, Gestalt, and it’s the only way to get yourself written into the next story arc of the Blakbone web-comic (which will eventually be bound in print as well).

Visit this link to support our press: https://www.gofundme.com/funding-for-1134-press

Thanks!

Here’s some art I’ve been working on for the graphic novel

You can see some upcoming Blakbone pages in there as well …

And here are just a few of those handmade journals mentioned above:

Look for these coming soon to our store, on Etsy, and wherever we’re able to set up a book selling table!

Thanks again everybody, and check back soon for more updates about 1134 Press and more of the ongoing Blakbone story

1134 Press: Updates

20 Jun

Hello everybody,

As some of you might have heard, we’ve started a new site called 1134 Press! It is the home to our online store where you can get copies of our books. We’ve just added a new book and updated our listings, so you should go check it out!

http://www.1134press.com

Also, grab a copy of Gestalt today!

GestaltFrontCover

“Gestalt” is a collection of fiction that walks right up to the edge of reality. Between these covers are ten fictions, peppered with gritty, visceral art pages, that explore the nature of being. Halfway through the book you will find a short sequential art story, “Clawing at my Skin”; is it a dream, or is it a nightmare?

Check back here soon for more updates about 1134 Press, our growing inventory of books, and a call for submissions that will be coming shortly!

7 Jun

Good afternoon everybody,

Last month we launched our new site, 1134 Press. We have a lot of big plans for that project. With that in mind, and considering some financial realities, we’ve started a GoFundMe campaign as a way to jumpstart this project.

Please follow the link to help us out – we’re also offering some pretty great rewards for your donations!
