Welcome to my visionary world
Manly Zine Fair on the 20th September. Look at my pretty artwork.
Plus my picture party at Waterloo library starting that same week as part of art and about.
And I’ll be running a casual little zine workshop at the Seymour Centre the week after. More on that soon.
Just a quick reminder that I’ll be at the Canberra Zine Emporium in Gorman House selling my usual garbage. And some new crap.
Hope of the Museum of Australian Democracy. Museums tend to hold historical items. As in it’s history. Something that no longer exists. Like Democracy. In Australia. At least there’s a museum to show us what we used to have.
Interrabang.
Many years ago, before I really even made zines, I spent a year making little books. I made 364, as I had a day off. I did make a big book of them all, but only made three copies, and I don’t know if anyone would be that interested in it as I have to charge a lot, as it’s a proper bound book.
But as I have a zine fair coming up on Sunday, I thought I’d make some of them into little zines. So far I’ve made up five of my favourites. Get them on Sunday at the Canberra Zine Emporium. I may list them in a five pack later in my ETSY shop. But I may not either.
Here’s the flyer fo the Manly Zine Fair. Don’t worry, it’s not some blokefest. It’s actually the name of a suburb. A pretty nice suburb, by the sea.
As well as trying to sell my zines I’ll be running a workshop teaching different types of easy binding. You can use these techniques on your zines (there’s a workshop running at the same time) or make you own notebooks, or just a bunch of paper you want to hold together.
So it should be a fun day. I’ve always had fun. Hope to see you there.
Bonus is that they’ve use my picture for the flyer.
Yeah! Me!
I’ll be having a stall again at the Enmore Curated Markets this Sunday the 11th of August. It’s at the back of the Vic on the Park Hotel, 2 Addison Rd Enmore NSW, from 11am till about 4pm. And for all you drunks you can grab one of your fancy boutique beers too I suppose. Saying that it’s fine for kids as it’s not in the pub, and you can pretty much avoid the drunks.
