Adelaide Zine Shop
27 May, 2009 · No Comments

They’ll be needing you dearly right now to fill those shelves and tables with your amazing zines. The shop will be opening on Sunday 7 June at a premises on 23 Peel St [between Hindley & Currie Sts, City]

Help!

Hello friends,

We’re hoping you might be able to help. To keep the online store open, it costs us far more than the small amounts we get from selling zines. We want to keep growing the zine distro and expanding the possbilities for the zinemakers we stock. To do this, we currently rely on people ordering things online, at zine fairs, and also the money we get from sales of Susy Pow’s zines - Tea & Biscuits, Don’t Panic, Everything Was Beautiful & Nothing Hurt, Comparisons Between Hu… Continue

Neverending Creation Project

If you’ve been toiling around my traps recently you may have been cajoled and accosted by me to do whatever-the-fuck-you-want to one page in a little zine-like scrapbook I’ve been creating and letting you create. The first book is nearly full. It’s full of things by (off the top of my head):

Simon Unwin (of the band, Intentions)
Jodie Brabin (of the Dep’t of Ageing)
Catman (of the zine, Krumpets, and the music Catman)
Dan Bolton (of that old band Faux Hawks)
Maddy Phelan (of Wollongong zine fam… Continue

Does that mean you will be moving to Newcastle? When will it be opening? I might have a few things - a typewriter, possibly, and some stationery - to donate to you. Would you be needing envelopes at all? Because I have many envelopes. Many. And a bit of card stock and so on. Anyway, I'll send you an email with a proper list of stuff I've got that you're most welcome to if you want it. And yes, I am excited about my little exhibition, but scared also. I'm used to working collaborativly on art stuff, so it's a bit weird, having a show by myself. Well, I will be extremely glad if you can come to the opening! And thanks again for writing it up on your blog, I can't tell you how much I appreciate that. Have a good afternoon. I'm going to the pub now, to read a book (and to drink, presumably). Adios! x

At 4:20pm on April 15, 2009, Jessica Marie said…: Hey there- I saw your post on the mini zine folks group. What kind of mini zines are you looking for? because I just made a 1/4 sized one about dreams.

The price to send a few postcards to you would probably be about 60 cents U.S. If you want more than a few just send some us dollars or paypal and I will send you as many as I can for the amount you send. You are welcome to use the images (or make your own) but I don't have any bigger than what i posted.
