Self-Published Editorial Experiments
What is Some Precious?
Created under Some Precious are editorial experiments (mostly zines for now) that aim to create something that is both very valuable to its beholder (and its maker) and incredibly insignificant to anyone else. This means learning to be vulnerable, experimenting with editorial and narrative styles and favoring modest means of production. Some making of, behind the scenes, and unfinished Some Precious projects are available on social media.

Each publication is created in very limited editions but can be reproduced indefinitely (I have kept originals of each so I can keep making copies if need be) but also, can be easily reproduced! Get your copy using this form!

Small Talk, Big Questions | 2020

A program designed to ask the big questions, always. By using a deceivingly simple question structure similar to that which an inquisitive child might likely use, it is designed to help its user consider the most (un)likely of circumstances.

Photosueding | 2019

A zine celebrating the creation of the PhotoSueding program, a homemade, DIY, alternative to Photoshop. Each word in the book is a Photoshop function, the idea was to celebrate the agency opensource platforms like Processing grant you over your creative process. Made in collaboration with Harshit Vishwakarma.
