Good Hair Day

Monday was a good mail day -- No, a great mail day. I haven't had one of those in a while, and I really needed it too. I hadn't really recognized how down I've been as of late ... until I felt the upward surging mood-shift.

I received two packages on that day. The first was from Jim Lupio, who'd invited me to show my zines in the… Continue

Description: No zine makes me think about what I want… Continue

Who we are, What we do. Join us.

Æphemera is a work-in-progress zine which a group of students from

Lille, France are planning to release the first edition of sometime in

Oct/Nov/Dec 2010. So far we're incorporating photography, graphic design/illustration and graffiti, but we're in the (slow) process of considering other art forms and content.

We celebrate youth, having a good time, marginal life, the unknown, art, beer, music, the obscure, design, nudity, travel, hedonism, urban… Continue

I think that I am done with zine writing. I have issue 3 which has been ready to go forever. I still need to get it checked and printed. When I do I'll probably send it out for free to anyone who has traded with me. I'd like to know what people think even though it will be my last copy. Continue

How I spent my summer vacation! Brainscan #25.5! Copy Scams, a zine band!

Brainscan #25.5

At the IPRC on July 11, 2010 the Portland Zine Symposium sponsored a 24 hour zine challenge. A 24 hour zine challenge is when you make a zine in

24 hours.

Well, this is the zine I made that night. You are not supposed to have

any idea what you will put in your zine before you start so I had no

idea what would come out of this. What did…
