Facts and Figures Zine and Prints

“Facts and Figures” is an exploration of simplicity, whitespace, and shapes. In his new zine, Sebastian König showcases over 100 single-colored pictogram illustrations.

These tiny one-picture stories introduce wobbly characters that fill 32 pages in his new riso zine, accompanied by three poster prints. The scissor-cut-like symbols reveal absurd meanings or events in simple, single images. These “facts” encounter the “figures” – flat characters that traverse the pages.

The title of the zine adopts the name “Facts and Figures” from business communication, breathing new life into a typically dry topic. The motivation behind creating these illustrations was to delve into one-color drawings and expand the repertoire of shapes and forms.

One of the strengths of illustration lies in the viewer’s interpretation. “Facts & Figures” breaks the boundaries of well-known principles and facts, offering fresh perspectives on familiar images. The drawings aim to evoke a psychedelic ambiance while also encouraging viewers to add their own interpretations.
