New Zines
I just got back from the printers with two new zines – Dust #4 and Within without. Dust #4 continues with the run of the other zines, which is largely themeless photos. Within without – is a visual ode, of sorts, to the James Turrell sky space installed at the National Gallery of Australia. I…

New Zine
Picked up the new zine – Dust – from the printers, which has photos I have taken over the years. I put this together a few years back and then had to redo it because I lost all of the work files and processed images. I’ll be slinging these and other zines at the Festival…

Melbourne Weekend
So I spent a long weekend in Melbourne, mostly to grace the Festival of the Photocopier Zine Fair, but to check on other points of interest. Here the highlights. “Through to Bartertown” After catching up with a friend, downing a boilermaker, eating some Hare Krishnan food, to set out to The Tote in Collingwood for…

Zine Round-Up Part 2
And we’re finally back for Part Two. Pancake Batter Mike Watt is known for his grotesque characters. They remind me of old, *old* caricatures. Pancake Batter is about his works going as paste ups on wall around anonymous parts of the city. He even includes S.H.U’s recipe for the glue they both use. If you…

MCA Zine Fair 2016
So I went to the MCA Zine Fair the other week. It was pretty good. But in terms of size, MCA’s was pale in comparison compared to the Other Worlds Zine Fair (which you can read about here). And I guess this is where the comparison will play out. In the previous two years, the…

Other Worlds Zine Fair
The Other Worlds Zine Fair was on again for a third year running. It began as the protest zine fair against one of the sponsors of the MCA. And both were run on the same day in previous years. But not this time. Great for me really, because running between two concurrent fairs is exhausting.…

Zine Swag
So a couple of weeks back I had picked up a few zines from both the MCA and Other World’s zine fairs. Archonic It’s an architecture/design mag put together by students, by the looks of things. The design of the magazine has all the elements that are in vogue; photos dissected by simple geometries, large…

Head 2 Head Zine Fairs
Last year, I went to two zine fairs in one day. The Other Worlds Zine Fair was organised in protest against one of the sponsors (being Transfield [Services/Holdings] who also manage the Nauru and Manus Island detention centres) backing the MCA, and thus the zine fair. I had to see both, because it is pointless…
