All non-zine items automatically get 25% off of the retail price! (The discount shows up when you add the item to your cart.) Only the non-zine items are on sale, but this is a good chance to check out our zine section as well. :)

i was thinking about having myself a mustache II!

i managed to put a hold on all my failings and dropping of balls and in a mad rush, late into the night, i cut and pasted my heart out and finished 'i was thinking about having myself a mustache II'... that's right. 75 more out of context quotes from people i know!

a handful of friends have seen it, giggled and raved. so it must be a success. also, i just listed it on etsy. more than willing to trade…

Poems Written in the Last 10 Days

Poems, and sayings written in the last 10 days or so:

POEMS

One spoon

one bowl

and still both

hands are full

I whisper my secret

to my statue

of Galatea

Weak tea,

thin soup,

and I am running

out of water.

Like a candle

never lit.

What title to use?

As a warm-up (since I haven't done a paper zine since college), I did a quick one-shot of my favorite Mae West quotes ripped from my favorite Mae West Quote book. So now I'm ready to start on a new zine. I want to do a per-zine, mostly about what I observe about people's behavior and how it never makes any sense to me. :)

Already I'm stuck for a title.

I have a few in mind and really just can't settle on which I like best. Opinions?

The Pocket… Continue

Master of Pieces #3 is finally done.

I'm picking up a laser printer today to run off copies. My old copy source, a local business in the town I live, supplied free copier use for my last four zines. It's now time I went on my own. Thank you Donna! Your generosity is appreciated.

This issue of Pieces is on writing, drinking and demons and was written in the span of two days. The layout took much longer, but I guess that's always how it goes.

I will let people know when it is available for trade and purchase. Maybe… Continue

Yeah, I'm pretty original.

The topics I was thinking of writing about, mostly are:

- Fashion (Toronto street style, some of my favourite… Continue
