YETI NINE is now published and available, featuring some of my new drawings from this year.
"Yeti is less a zine than an immaculately curated collection of art and ideas that walk the line between marginal and universal. Between the interviews, comics, and short stories that appear on its pages—and the included CD of wide-ranging music—Yeti functions as a string of exhibits that display a single constant: the interests of Portland-based editor Mike McGonigal. Thumbing through the newest issue, Yeti Nine, feels like circling around an artistic encampment inhabited by practitioners of weird, wild, and woolly ideas."
- Review in the Portland Mercury
Available through numerous bookstores, record shops and online. Check out BuyOlympia.com where you can see photos of the current issue, including a few of my own illustrations (see top right image)

"Alisha Wessler’s drawings are little vignettes of organic beauty: figures and fauna emerge from densely patterned masses that evoke the plants and landscape where they reside. They are successful often in the way that they deny expectations. Her drawings are small but panoramic, decorative yet expansive, and dense while still providing the viewer’s eye room to explore."
