こちらは、Creasidenceによる過去最大規模のクリエイティブプログラム「Pipeline Workshop」の成果として誕生した、特別なコラボZINEです。2024年5月29日〜6月8日に東京で開催された二部構成のレジデンスにて、世界各地から集まったアーティストたちが怪獣キャラクターを創作し、それをもとにコミックやボードゲームを制作。伝説的ソフビ作家・赤松一光先生をはじめとするメンター陣の指導のもと、全ての工程が手作業で行われました。ZINEは全40ページのフルカラー漫画＋設定資料集、ゲームルールブック、両面ポスター、参加者描き下ろしの怪獣カード5枚入り。SOMSOC GALLERY限定・100部限定のコレクタブルセットです。 The result of Creasidence’s most ambitious creative program to date, this zine is a unique collaborative artifact from the Pipeline Workshop — a two-part residency held in Tokyo from 29 May to 8 June, bringing together artists from around the world. Collectible Bundle limited to 100 pcs. available only at SOMSOC Gallery! Over the course of the program, participants designed original kaiju characters, developed comics around them, and turned their creations into playable board game prototypes — all guided by experienced mentors including legendary soft vinyl artist Kazumitsu Akamatsu-sensei. This zine is a collaborative creation by local artists — the result of constant experimentation and shared imagination. A celebration of kaiju culture, storytelling, and board game design, the release reflects what happens when creators come together across mediums. Every element in this release — from the comics to the rulebook, poster, and collectible cards — was crafted by hand at every step of production. More than a workshop output, it’s the product of a residency built to test new models of creative collaboration. Details: • A full-color 40 pgs. comic zine featuring manga and lorebook of kaijus created by the participants under the guidance of Akamatsu-sensei and mentors Loïc Locatelli, Nico Staro and Javier Fernandez. Cover by Loïc Locatelli. • A 40 pgs. board game rulebook with 4 playable game concepts, rules, and graphics created by the participants under the mentorship of a team led by Shane Canning, JP Bowes and Arnaud Tuduri of UNSEEN Studios. Cover by Nico Staro. • A double-sided poster with toys by Akamatsu-sensei and promo visual by Lidia Núñez Sánchez. • 5 randomly packed collectible kaiju cards, all illustrated by participants. The Release was printed in Tokyo in Print Mouse printshop.
