HAPPY RELEASE DAY! 34 ORCHARD ISSUE 11 HAS ARRIVED!
Posted by kristipetersenschoonover
Thrilled to announce that 34 Orchard Issue 11 is now available!

In Issue 11, a frustrated Frito-Lay worker indulges the alternate reality he’s spent years avoiding, and an Alaskan detective’s fresh beginning in the City of Angels might have more to do with endings than he’d expected. A retiring Christmas elf forced to break tradition discovers that no sacrifice he makes will avoid disaster. A crooked prospector refuses an honest life out of fear, a paramedic must accept that she cannot change people’s fates, and a soon-to-be park ranger in a South American forest finds her employment aspirations require giving up more than she may be willing.

Announcing 34 ORCHARD’s Spring 2025 ToC!
Posted by kristipetersenschoonover
The ToC for 34 Orchard Issue #11, Spring 2025, has arrived! The issue will be released on Friday, April 25, 2025.

In Issue 11, twenty-two artists tackle the challenges of “turning over a new leaf.” While the phrase may refer to flipping to a book’s blank page, it makes the work of taking a new direction sound too easy. It’s much more like the leaves of trees in an approaching storm: you’re going to get jostled around, twisted, and beaten up. In this issue, we not only have work from the US, Canada, and the UK, but from Read the rest of this entry →

A clown questions his actions during the Hartford Circus Fire, a woman spends hours calling for the missing, and a man’s unsettled conflict with his brother rents his world in two. A dog mommy may fail at making the ultimate choice and an uncertain slaughterhouse worker may end up without one.
