  • Eww by Folly Problem

    Eww by Folly Problem

    £2.50

    Why do the streets of Edinburgh say EWW? A fun joke about sewers being icky? I got obsessed for two weekends and found the answer.

    eww-etch-detail It all goes back to the Edinburgh Water Works, and the aftermath of the Black Death. I even found some great etchings from the National Archives of Scotland.

    eww-splay It’s a wee little square, all printed in medium blue risograph ink.
    eww-street Don’t you want to know about EWW?

    8 page zine, first printed in May 2025.

  • They killed us all and there is no more traffic by Folly Problem

    They killed us all and there is no more traffic by Folly Problem

    £9.00

    This is a zine about how every car advert is set in the post-apocalypse.

    How did the world end up this way?

    What does it say about apocalypses, the appeal of cars, and us?

    car-apocalypse-spread1 It’s about empty, beautiful landscapes, free of life and friction. Trying to take seriously the weird images we see so often.
    car-apocalypse-column It also covers why people like the apocalypse sometimes. What lumps and inconveniences get smoothed away in this world.
    An interview with a car, a look into the dreary lives of the few people left, there’s a lot going on.
