Project Projectionism Issue 1

Project Projectionism Issue 1 is almost done! I'm waiting on a rant about unicorns, then it's off to the presses!

I love the weight of the paper with all those little paper scraps taped on, all smelling like ink. Yum.

This weekend I'll be in Brooklyn, and looking for good places to drop. I'm also up for some trading.

So excited.

Приступил к изготовлению тиража второго номера "НАСТ"а. В отличие от первого номера, второй стал толще - 44 странички, включая обложку. Ну и тираж предполагается увеличить до 70 экземпляров. При таких данных зиноделие становится накладным хобби. Цветная печать обложки - это 7 рублей за экземпляр. Плюс тонированная бумага в больших количествах для внутренних страниц зина. Ещё третий номер я выпущу аналогичного вида, а далее надо будет как-то сокращать затраты. Либо частично компенсировать за… Continue

First blog. Comic announcement!

Ahoy, this is my first blog post. I just wanted to say that my first zine, Crime Unlimited Inc. Co. is getting printed tomorrow. The premise is simple: stories of mischief, crime, evil, do-baddery and the typical nonsense. Each issue will be a collaboration between me and my friends or whoever wants to participate. This was quite a challenge for me and I am immensely proud of the final product. Each copy is $2 and I will throw in a free sketch of some kind. I will also trade since that seems to… Continue
