Hanoi in Duotone is a photographic series featuring vignettes of Hanoi (2019–2022) captured by Milwaukee’s own Robert Trettin. Slice-of-life, poignant, and a testament to the nuances of a simple color palette. “Life is dialectical, materialistic, harmonious, beautiful and lovely, etc.” — Nguyễn Huy Thiệp
This zine is perfect for fans of travelogues, watching “In The Mood for Love” on repeat, and 35mm film.

Unique (no two zines are exactly alike)
BearBear launched as a self-publishing Risograph studio in 2019 by two artists who desired to see their work on bookshelves on their own terms. Inspired by DIY zine culture and gig-poster screen prints, BearBear attends to the intricate details of book design with a wabi-sabi ethos. BearBear’s posters, prints, and art books act as a wholesome yet radical antidote to homogenous mass-produced volumes. The studio aspires to deliver contemporary ideas of selfhood + beauty, with a retro aesthetic, to the creative class’s bookshelves and imaginations.
