All my zines for the upcoming 2013 ABQ Zine Fest are completed. Whoo-hoo!

Well, at least the creative part.  Now comes the production part.  The copy.fold.collate.staple.repeat. part.  This part is kind of tedious.  It will be made exciting by my new stapler.  And by the pride I feel in having THREE full NEW zines this year, plus THREE full NEW mini-zines. EXCITING!!!

Here’s repertoire of the new ones:

II.II. Zine of the Apocalypse – a full size zine featuring my thoughts around time and humanity, inspired by the turn of the Mayan calendar

II.III.S. Spring-ing, Sprang, Sprung – a mini-zine with a poem and images (the “S” in the numbering system connotes a sporule)

II.IV. Depression – a full size zine with my story of my chronic depression and how art keeps my balanced

II.V. Road Trip – a full size zine about a glorious road trip this summer with my husband; tons of cool photos

II.VI.S. Ornamental Patterns of Feminine Hygiene – a mini-zine with commentary on womanhood

II.VII.S. Haiskoo 9’13 – a mini-zine of poems with scooter ride inspirations

And I’ll have a (small)(few) copies of my two previous zines:

I.I. Crows, Choices, and Love

II.I. Spiders, Fear, and A Sense of Home

Hopefully you can come out and check out my zines! Saturday, October 5, at the Tannex, 1417 4th Street SW, Albuquerque. A FREE event open to all general public.

I work tonight. (nurse. three 12-hour shifts in a row starting tonight) I ought to be sleeping.

Can’t. Tried. Got my schedule outa whack on my days off.

So, I’m zine’ing. Working on the cover and the page numbers of the Road Trip Zine. Then it’ll be FINISHED!! Then I’ll figure out which pages to post as an excerpt. It’s a good one, filled with lots of photos and some fun word associations.

You’ll see.

home. road. house. family. journey. cloud.

some of the words from the Thesaurus and Dictionary and book of Synonyms, Antonyms, and Prepositions that I have that I’m copying for my Road Trip Zine. There are some interesting associations. Not as dramatic as some of the past issues, but, hey, it’s a road trip. It’s not supposed to be serious.

zine’in’. working on the middle touches. It’s like last minute touches, except that they happen in the middle. I’ve got most of the photos into the places where they’ll go. Now I’m adding zine flare. This is the really fun part!!

I’ll post a page later today (this week-ish) so you can see an example of what I’ve been working on for the Road Trip Zine.

working on the road trip zine

I got some photo paper for the ink jet printer that I have. And I working out which of all the snap shots that I took during my road trip last month to include in my zine about the trip.  And I’m putting down some (more) of my thoughts about home and family.

As opposed to s’mores thoughts.

Which I have from time to time, too.

We did not have s’mores on the road trip. We had beef jerky, orange juice drinks, Dr. Peppers, popcorn, and peanut butter and crackers. This is not an exhaustive list.

excerpt of my thoughts:

Family is not the same thing as Home.

 It was hard not to include the part of the map of Missouri that I grew up in, the part that I think of as Home.  And not to include the part of Texas that is also Home.  New Mexico is a home away from Home, much like Chicago, New Orleans, and – now – Kansas City.

Found on Pinterest:

s'mores according to REI

Mark your calendars. This fall, October 5 – 6, Third Annual ABQ Zine Fest!!

TheZINEsaurus has signed up to table. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More details to come.

And in other news, I have been working on a zine from my road trip earlier this month. And, in a sort of way, I’ve been working on my depression zine by not being as depressed as earlier this year, which has dampened my spirits – so to speak – about writing about my depression.

This is the “sporadically” part, folks.

And there are still plans to make/publish the adult poem for masturbation month. May is masturbation month. When it posts, it’ll have this symbol

(‘)

to let you know it’s adult oriented.

ZINE FEST!
