OCAD Zine Fair

So I left work early to hop a bus  to the OCAD Zine Fair. I was worried that it wouldn't be worth the time, I was proved wrong. The Event was small with just under 20 tables and many of those tables held crafts and prints.  I set up in a dark hallway next to an other unfortunate couple of zinesters. The enthusiasm for the zine was defiantly in the air. Even as I set up the Two tables I signed up for ( look mum! and Arrow Archive) I had a interested party purchase a stack of photocopied zines from me and from then on folks ventured down our dimly lit hall way and got excited about what we had to distro. Not many folks knew we have a zine library here in Guelph and I helped get the wred out! We may soon have some visitors from Toronto.

Here is a little gem I picked up at the fair.... hand sceen printed.... ooohh la la

OCAD ZINE FAIR

Work Permitting I'll be there with  Look Mum! distro ( with a new sex work zine) and the new Arrow Archive Resource zine: The Arrow. If yer in the area drop by and have a chat.

Zine Workshop

We had a Zine Workshop at the OPIRG zine library. People came, they ate snacks, learned about zines, and made mini zines.

Good Bye Zine World

From the moment I found out about Zine World, I was in love. I asked if they needed any help with reviews and in a few short weeks I was on the review team, that was about 3 years ago. Over those years, I contributed cover art and many many reviews. I found it was hard to work on such a huge collective project with folks who were spread all over the globe, but it happened.
A few months ago the publisher/ editor/ person who held it all together expressed that they didn't want to be the bottom liner any more. So after much debate,  ZW has folded. I'd like to thank everyone who helped with the project and everyone who read. Good Bye ZW.
