"Amanda: He's right! Don't wait until you have an idea to draw. Draw because you're looking for an idea. I've found that my greatest ideas have come from supposedly mindless doodling when I wasn't thinking and I was just…"

APFuchs commented on Erica S.'s group Minicomix!

"Amanda: Just draw and stop thinking about it or overthinking it. Relax and just simply do it. Don't have an idea? Draw anyway. Something'll come. It's the only way. Too many artists talk the talk but never walk the walk, you know? So…"

Same sentiment as the last time I left a comment here - slowly getting back into things, still an outsider, etc. etc. etc. I'm coming back to PA over New Years. Are you going to be in town? If so, what do you think about maybe trying to do a 24-hour split zine? (or 8-hour or howevermany-hour...)

At 4:49pm on May 8, 2009, Heather Wreckage said…: Hey I would love to be distroed! I've always wanted to be but I was too scared to submit. I'll definatly email you. Where did you find my zine? I've never heard of it.

At 10:44pm on March 22, 2009, Sticky Institute said…: Hello friend of Sticky. If you have made a zine recently, are still reprinting old copies of a zine, have old copies lying around or are thinking of making zine, we want you to stock it with us! If you haven't stocked with us before, here's how you do it. Visit our website (www.stickyinstitute.com) and download a stockists form. Fill it out and send it with up to ten copies of your zine to Sticky, P.O. Box 310, Flinders Lane, VIC 8009. We have them on the shelves for 6 months at which time, if they've sold out we'll pay you and if they haven't totally sold out we'll pay you for the copies you have sold and send the remaining copies back to you or donate them to the Exchange Box. To those of you have stocked with us previously, keep sending us your zines! Zine culture is alive and kicking in Australia and Sticky is an ardent defender of zine culture!
Love from Sticky!

At 5:45pm on September 2, 2008, dearwassily said…: I make zines too! Actually, yes, I feel kind of weird on here, and I don't really understand the whole thing yet. But I am trying to get back into the zine realm, albeit very slowly, and still very much outsiderly.

At 8:15pm on September 1, 2008, dearwassily said…: Hi, Erica! I received your letter. I have my zines ready to send you, minus an envelope big enough to send them, which I will have to get tomorrow. My zines will be in the mail for you Wednesday at the latest.
