Tint - o- rama

Seem to be loving a tint this week. Maybe cause I'm thinking about paper types and colours for zine covers etc. See Liam paying sweet tribute to Jesus in this photo. Go check out his work, he is a demon on the needle. We used to do a hilarious thrash band, he got too thrash, i got too lazy, the rest is history. I don't think i could scream like that now if i tried. The things we do, luckily, we never got past rehearsals, otherwise it could have destroyed his future as a budding a talented tattooist! serious!

Its Thursday Again!

Having been away for ten days i had lost the plot that yet another 1st thursday of the month had swung by. We ventured out to a couple of graduate shows to support some friends, checked out some boutique stores, gigs, and the launch of a much over due issue of FUN magazine at the alibi and drank their Whisky.

some great work coming through the pipeline, i just hope the creative industries don't fail these young hopefuls before they make their way up the ladder.

peace and love

ZINE DISCO PARTY GO -WE NEED MORE!

Zines/fanzines - a small circulation, non-commercial publication of original or appropriated texts and images. More broadly, the term encompasses any self-published work of minority interest usually reproduced via photocopier on a variety of colored paper stock.

Why the F don't more people do these? I first became aware of this cut n paste method of self expression when i discovered Punk Rock. Punk zines emerged as part of the punk movement in the late 1970s. These started in the UK and the U.S.A. and by March 1977 had spread to other countries. Cheap photocopying had made it easier than ever for anyone who could make a band flyer to make a zine. Tonight i had a sweet breeze over some local peoples zines with the help of Marika and look to hit up a sweet zine spot tomo in down town Toronto. 

I cant champion the concept of making these more! I'm moving on to Montreal next week to stay at the HQ of Society Suckers Zine. Be a buddy and check it out, its subcultures documented for people in the know. Power to the zine geek.
