Cobey Lusinger is a graphic designer born and raised in the Texas Hill Country. He is currently based in New York City, having moved there to study Communication Design (Parsons School of Design, Class of 2019). He likes to think about how written language looks and what it has to say through experiments with publication and editorial design, motion graphics, film, and (more recently) typeface design.
        He wishes to learn more about CG animation, copyright and IP law, sign language, and the art of paper-making.

Satyrs


Boys, they dance. Boys, they stretch. Boys, they dream, march, sleep, and contort their bodies into all kinds of positions. Regardless of what they do though, boys have hairy legs.




As the final zine in the Parsons Pictozine class taught by Steven Guarnaccia, Satyrs depicts nude men in various positions doing various if not ambiguous things.
            The doodle-like illustrations are inspired in equal parts by Playgirl and Classic depictions of the Roman Bacchanalia. Coincidentally, a satyr is both a goat-man and a man who has strong sexual desires.


zine, edition of 10
laserprinted b/w on newsprint
