death never says my dear: 1/4 size, 30 pages.
my great aunt died. not very many people in my family have died before, and no one that I knew, so it got me thinking about death. this is a stream of conscious zine about my feelings on death, what I want to do with my life, children, my family, what is appropriate for a funeral... it's very personal. text heavy. lines of e e cummings poetry and colourful dinosaur pictures.
$2 or trade.
I'm working on numerous minis, and collaborations.
Ordinary Issue 3 will be out in late December/January, and will probably be the last of that series, I'm already tired of it. Look for: I am the same age as Joan of Arc, my new zine, around the same time.
all my zines are printed on 100% recycled paper.
eventually I hope to write a zine with my boyfriend about our european adventures, but who knows when I'll pin him down-- a muscian/engineer; he's tricky.

I am pretty much always up for trades of any kind (at least until I pay my tuition again and I'm flat broke.)
mix cds. intimate letters. secrets. postcards. things you found on the street. poems. the story of your first breakup. a fridge magnet. temporary tattoos.
you name it, I'll probably take it.
don't be shy, say hi :)

1/4 size, 30 pages
My great aunt died. this is a zine about me facing death close to home for the first real time, and the thoughts it brought to mind about people in my family getting older, myself getting older, when I'll start my own family, how I feel like the black sheep, etc.
it's very text heavy and a bit sad here and there, so I tried to cheer it up with some happy colourful dinosaurs.

You should pop over to Australia right now. It's warm and lovely.
Agreed! Though I am impressed how the zine community has so many people willing to write letters and such, it's great!
Hehe. Well, the last few days have been quite cold, so I've been enjoying wearing tights again. Hehe, yes, Canada is supposed to be freezing..and it's near winter for you, right?
Oh yeah, totally! Trades and penpals sound fun!
I got your zine too! It was really neat, I liked your short story and the fact that you're spending the month novel writing! How is that going?
I'm happy you liked mine- hehe, well, our summer has come too soon, so it's way hot at the moment, and it's supposed to be spring.. Eh, weather.
