Last Pages of Humanity:
Last Pages of Humanity or LPOH is an art-forward small business run by the creative couple McGory and Colvet.  Their work explores the themes of horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and poetry through the use of traditional printmaking methods.  Their visual style takes much inspiration from pre-code comics, medieval engravings, and traditional American tattoo aesthetics. Much of their work is multimedia in nature with a heavy reliance on experimental relief and screen printing.  The couple also publishes zines of their artwork, small-batch poetry books (through Imprint Art Collective/Outlandish Press), short stories, and comics (first issue in progress, being released in mid-2026).  Most of their analog pieces can be seen on Instagram, Youtube, and at local art and writing events.
