    Zinestars Zine Fair Round Up

    Zine Stars Fair Round-up I’ve been a bit busy and distracted of late on some other things rising over the horizon. So this is really just to show what I picked up at the Zinestars Zine Fair last weekend. Exposure – Mini-comics created and collected by the ACT Comics Meet. Art Underground vols 1-4 –…

  • Zine Experiment

    Zine Experiment

    Hard to believe this was nearly a week ago. New zine experiment was performed last week at Megalo Print Studio. It was not entirely successful. Here’s a run down. The zine is printed on both sides of a single sheet of paper and folded down. I created a screen so that all I would have…

  • Zine Reviews

    So once again, it’s that time to do another zine round-up over my purchases from the Other World Zine Fair and the MCA Zine Fair from the other week. James Jirat Patradoon Art Book Last year, I got some stickers by James, when I bought Oishi The Tastiest Man Alive. The book is cover to…

  • Two Zine Fairs, One Day

    Two Zine Fairs, One Day

    It’s dark on the coach back. The most repeated question I’ve been asked today was “what was the turn out like?” This is what happens when there are two zine fairs on in one day. Once again the MCA was having a zine fair, where the indie publishing scene congregates and trades over plastic tables.…

  • Zine Reviews Part Two

    Zine Reviews Part Two

    So over the last two weeks I collected a lot of zines. Normally I go for a longer review process, but I’m pressed for time. So here goes. I picked these up while not minding my table at the Canberra Zine Emporium’s Zine Fair. Dead Red A re-telling of Red Riding Hood, illustrated by David…

    Zine Reviews Part One

    So over the last two weeks I collected a lot of zines. Normally I go for a longer review process, but I’m pressed for time. So here goes. I picked these zines up between the Zine Vending Machine Launch and the Art, Not Apart festival. Machine-Vended Zines Better Things to Do Where Pete Huet interviews…

  • CZE Zine Fair

    CZE Zine Fair

    It’s the end of the ten-day You Are Here Festival and it’s time for another zine fair, organised by the people of the Canberra Zine Emporium and held at Gorman House. It was a heck of a day. I picked up a few zines here and there and I’ll cover these off in reviews throughout…

  • Zine Vending Machine

    Zine Vending Machine

    So Thursday night I attended the Zine Vending Machine Launch at the start of You Are Here. The director of ArtsACT, David Whitney, made an intro and vended a couple of zines (one of which, I’m glad to say, was mine). The machine itself is a wholly mechanical affair, requiring no electricity to run, simply…

  • Zine Lounge

    Zine Lounge

    I’ve only been to the Old Parliament House once. That for some work function, so many years ago. I suppose I never really had a reason to. However, the Canberra Zine Emporium have set up a Zine Lounge and I’m curious from the few photos they have supplied as to what the entire thing entails.…
