why do i have so many ideas? it's a good thing, but not good if it distracts you from finishing any one of those ideas. eek! Oct 2

Aijung Kim of Firefly Blind Press

I write and illustrate poem-zines and have started a perzine serial called "Minutiae." Some other zines in the works: a chapbook-length zine of poetry, a zine about my trip to New Mexico last year (what a magical adventure) and an educational zine about underwater creatures called "Fish Nerd."

I enjoy art, writing, bicycling, peanut butter, books on tape, gardening, cooking, reading, children's books, and most recently, learning about sea creatures.

Hello!

Hello everyone,

I make zines! yay! You can find them at my Etsy shop: www.sprouthead.etsy.com. I am currently working on a new perzine called Minutiae No. 2 about my experiences in Richmond, Virginia. I moved here about 3 months ago. I don't lead a crazy life or anything, but it's just observations in drawing and writing about my day-to-day life. I also have plans on completing a zine about a trip to New Mexico that I took last July. It was such a magical adventure and I've been so worried abou… Continue

At 8:50am on October 13, 2009, Maranda Elizabeth said…: Yes I did, and they were wonderful! I'm actually mailing you a little letter today.

At 9:32am on October 8, 2009, Maranda Elizabeth said…: Glad to hear you got my zines! Thank you for your kind words! I hope your word prompt stories are coming along nicely as well; I would love to see them once they're complete. Looking forward to reading your zines! ♥

At 3:52pm on October 5, 2009, Jen said…: Hey! I'm glad you liked my zine. That makes me smile :) If you need any pointers or advice on crochet let me know. I can also recommend a book or website that can show you how to crochet if you need.

I think the next issue is going to be awesome, I have learned alot from this issue and think I have made quite a few improvments. I'll send you a copy as soon as I get done!

Thanks again for trading, I love your zines sooo much and I can't wait for more! xo Jen

At 5:41pm on October 4, 2009, Amber / Culture Slut said…: Hey lady! You're welcome to post the reviews and link wherever you like. I guess I find out about zines in a lotta ways. I've been involved for seven or so years now, so I have a lot of pen pals and zinester friends that keep me updated on new projects. I buy a lot of zines from distros (my blog has a whole bunch of links on the right hand side - my favourites are Stranger Danger and Paper Trail), I search for zines on Etsy occasionally and I never turn down a trade. There are a few zine communities on Livejournal.com and they're good for keeping up to date with new projects and promoting your own as well. Also, I've recently found a few places in Montreal that carry zines, so that's pretty exciting! Make sure you go to the Richmond Zine Fest, too! I hope I've been of some help.

At 8:48am on October 4, 2009, Amber / Culture Slut said…: I'm glad you're enjoying the blog! I feel like I have a million awesome zines and I oughtta share them with other people. Your review is up!

At 6:12pm on October 1, 2009, Jen said…: Hello. Haw are you doing?? I would actually really like to have a copy of "we carry each other" if you want to trade...

At 5:38pm on September 29, 2009, Amber / Culture Slut said…: Wonderful! My sister writes really excellent zines. ;) I'm glad you enjoyed the split. I'm about to write a review of Minutiae #2 for my blog, so I'll link you to it when it's ready. I thought it was supercute and even better than the last one. Take care!

I meant to mention yesterday -- thanks especially for the tip about typing "transparent" into the color picker. I don't know if that's a fairly common option for color pickers but I never would've thought of it in a million years...

if you guys ever figure it out, i'd like to know how to put up a fancy banner at my page. i haven't figured it out myself.

I haven't actually gotten back to it. Sometimes if I can't figure something out reasonably quickly it gets pushed back by everything else I'm trying to figure out reasonably quickly...

You may have tried this and it's just a stab in the dark but maybe see if clearing your browser's cache helps. Sometimes the browser pulls from the cache so it won't show newly-made changes even if they actually took. It didn't fix it for me but m...

I'm having the same trouble with uploading a "network logo". It doesn't take. It would be reasonable if we weren't allowed to remove the network's logo/title but the option appears to be there and I've seen somebody else here who's done it. Someb...

Anybody know how to replace/cover up the "We Make Zines" text? I've seen it done here and it looked nice but I can't figure it out. I can change the colors but it still lays on top of whatever other header image I upload...
