  • Out of Town

    Out of Town

    So I’ve been out of town. Most of my time was spent reacquainting myself with both Melbourne and Hobart, along with seeing art galleries and a road trip across Tasmania. Melbourne was fun. I spent a lot of time at the National Gallery of Victoria, RMIT’s Art Gallery (the Elision Ensemble show was especially good)…

  • Zine Round-Up Part 2

    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…

  • Zine Round-Up Part 1

    Zine Round-Up Part 1

    So here are the zines I picked up from the Other Worlds Zine Fair back in May. Part 2 will feature the haul from the MCA.  Like I said in a previous post, this was a great day and a good selection of items from around the underground. Bizarrism #14 Back for another round and…

  • MCA Zine Fair 2016

    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

    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…

  • Zine Swag

    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

    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…
