Me

I am British but live in Asheville, NC with my husband and our cat Pablo. I use zines as a way of exploring conceptual art, philosophy, society and dark humor. I love unusual sitcoms like The Mighty Boosh, Flight of the Concords, Louie etc.

My most recent zine is called Crude Reform. I love trading, especially weird art zines or comics.

Once I got it straight in my head there was no stopping me. I honestly can't say how long I had been mulling all the themes etc. over. So who can say how long a…

It hasn't been easy, what with power cuts, computer viruses and more, but we are finally laying out the first issue of the monthly art zine The Art Pages.

It's such an important venture for artists here in Zambia who are so talented but little known. Now is their chance to share their talents, as they are the writers and producers of the zine. I have been helping them with promotion and can honestly say I am proud to be part of this…
