Zoom Fail

Standard

So, I’m disappointed in the gallery of the first 8 pages. As it is now, the viewer can’t zoom in on the pages. And some of the uniqueness of TheZINEsaurs is in the details. Later I’ll work on an album or something where you can zoom in.

Aside

Yep. Working on the next issue.

I’ve got a theme and some of the ideas. Don’t have a story yet. There may not be a story.

Maybe the story will develop as I’m working on the zine.

Then again, maybe not.

I’m having fun with my scissors and my glue, though.

And I know what recipe that I’m going to include. …

zine’in’

Aside

I created the PayPal button tonight and pasted the code onto the “Obtain” page. And stuff happened, but not what was SUPPOSED to happen. I’ll keep working on it.

In the meantime, if you haven’t check out the excerpt from the last edition II.I. On Spiders, Fear, and A Sense of Home.

and it’s done!!

TheZINEsaurus Issue II.I. – On Spiders, Fear, and A Sense of Home

I’ve completed my copies for the fest on Saturday. And they’re collated [thanks, Mom, for the help!], and they’re stapled [thanks, Elisa, for the loan of the super-duper awesome big stapler!], and my zine-scene bag is packed.

Here’s a preview of the cover …On Spiders, Fear, and A Sense of Home

I am really proud of myself and excited about Saturday. I’ve got three complete zines: the issue from last year, the first issue from this year, and my first mini-zine. The mini-zine is a DIY Iron-On Transfer instruction booklet. It comes free with a purchase of the iron-on transfers that I created! I’ve got one “t-shirt” design at this time. I’m hoping to add a second design for Saturday. We’ll see if I get it done.

Either way, I am PROUD of myself for getting this done and putting myself out there in an official way with my art. Feels pretty good!

if you live anywhere close by and you’re out & about, DROP BY the ABQ Zine Fest 2012, this Saturday, October 6, at the Kosmos Cafe at the Factory on 5th, 1715 5th St NW, Albuquerque, NM.

committment

I can never remember how to spell committment. Oh. Apparently only one m. Comittment. Or one t. Commitment.

See? This is why I can’t ever remember how to spell it. To me, if you start off with two m’s, then you should end with two t’s. That shows commitment. Starting with two m’s and ending with only half the t’s see incomplete, somehow.

I am commited (SEE? – NO SENSE! it’s committed with two t’s) committed <sigh>

I have to go to work tonight.

I would rather stay home and work on my zine.

(committee.) <harumph> (just as I suspected…)

I’ve fully completed 22 pages + the front and back covers. I have 8 pages or so that I want to include.

I write big. (should it be “big-ly”? that sounds weird – I guess it needs a modifier)

My handwriting is big.

progress

I’ve (mostly) completed 17 pages of the latest edition in progress. I’ll finish somewhere between 22 and 34.

I’ve got a few photos to print to put in place.  Alas, I am low on yellow ink. So, I’ll get some more later today and keep going. Right now I’m gluing. And admiring what I’ve done & figuring out where it’s going.

I’ve flipped around, apparently and by happenstance, to get some daylight and enjoy the Autumnal Equinox.

Blessings of balance on your day!

Spent some time last night copying and cutting and gluing. Soon, I should go to bed. (I am nocturnal.). I want to stay up and zine. After sleep, thankfully, I can zine.
