Getting my clawed toes wet around here...

Hey gang, I just did a mailing of my zines out to other horror magazines: Rue Morgue and Shallow Graves and the likes. If any of you have any suggestions for other horror mags you like that I may not know of, please chime in!

My other online stuff can be found at www.portlandhalloweenbazaar.com as well as www.myspace.com/spectaculadracula (I'm the Rose City Rudo in the top fiends).

Thanks again for you r time and your love of horror, zines and horror zines!

The Infinite ZINE!!

Whooooo hooooo!!! I can cross it off of my never-ending 'LIFE GOALS' list: I have published my first real zine. Ya - i've done lots of those dinky ones to fill the boring summer days: reporting on the town's birthdays, giving reviews of the latest movie-release...nothing that packs any zest - nothing of this caliber. The FIRST INFINITE ZINE was great - it was amazing - it was inspiring - it was even a little smudged from the Xerox… Continue

The PBS Series, "An American Family" which ran during Jan-March 1973

Hey everyone! This is a short update listing the newest zines and comics in at Black Light Diner Distro!

Check out my new zines

Hey folks! I've been a busy zinester over the last year, and I've been a slacker to post them up on the net. Here's what they are and their descriptions:

10 Dirty Little Secrets - This was my 24 hour zine for 2007. Inside are 10 of my own personal dirty secrets. It's fairly image heavy and a quick read, but I've gotten really good feedback on it. It's a 24 page quarter size, and $1 or trade of course!

Pandora's Box #18 - This is the latest issue of my perzine. Inside I… Continue

Space

I am so sick of not having a separate workspace for my projects. Between the zines, the art stuff, and the fiber related stuff, my house is a mess. Every time I want to have an actual meal everything has to be moved from the table then put back when we're done eating. It sucks! Every house we've lived in has had an extra room that I could turn into a studio/office. Until this place. It's the nicest and the biggest of the places we've lived, but there are no extra rooms for me to claim as work… Continue

goings on

Work on the Aussie queer zine goes well - I've already got a few people on board who I know will create something awesome for it - if you're interested: runwaykite(at)gmail(dot)com

It's funny when you're focused on something, you are clued into similar happenings on. I read MCV the other day, which I never really read, and saw a call-out for an aussie queer anthology called 'banQuet'. Aside from the unfortunate name, it could be promising. It's a bit different to what I'm looking to… Continue
