    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.…

  • Noted Festival & Plans

    For those who follow my tumblr, probably know that I have an asemic writing project that has been running for a couple of years now. So after filling out some forms, I’m now a part of the Noted Festival. I’ve got a workshop, Unreadable, running on the 20th March. The workshop will be about asemic…

  • Sydney

    Last weekend I went to Sydney to hold a table for the ACT Comic Meet at the Manly Zine Fair. I went a day early to check out the Friends of Leon Gallery to check out the Justyna Kisielewicz exhibition that just opened. However, I didn’t get any photos, because there was an official photoshoot…

I had to see both, because it is pointless…

  • 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.…

    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…
