post-zinefest euphoria

Ok, maybe not euphoria, but I left zinefest feeling really good. I made a profit, which I wasn't expecting, and met lots of cool/friendly/talented people, which I was expecting. I also ran into some friends I hadn't seen in a while, which is always nice.

If anyone I met at zinefest is trying to find things to buy from me, please be patient. I will post more items either on etsy (but I'm not sure about etsy since all of my listings recently expired after I suspect that no one even looked at them) or here in the next day or so. You can also email me if you want something specific, and I will hook it up.

Ok, I woke up four minutes ago, so that's as in-depth as I can go about anything.

Getting ready for SF zinefest


This was before he pulled 50 pins out of the shirt I was sewing. I tried to trick him into sitting in his bed by putting it on the table, but he refused to sit anywhere but on the shirt.



Lots of projects.



Snowfakes packages are finished.



Representing CoMO, sweet zines by Gary Lard (AKA Bob Dynamite).



Ashley Brown's contribution. She only made three, but each has an original drawing on the cover. I think these are worth at least $27 each, but I probably won't sell them for that much.



The sequel to Funny Jokes About Sea Creatures is finally done! The illustrations in this one are much fancier, and feature cute animals like the manatee and sea otter. So maybe you will like them even if you don't think the jokes are funny, WHICH THEY ARE!



Not helpful, but, to be fair, I did teach him that paper bags can be fun toys.



I hate making copies, because I always make mistakes and put the originals in the wrong way and hate asking for help. But at least I'm not as bad at it as the good people of Juice Paradise. However, if not for their atrocious window displays, would I still love Juice Paradise? Definitely not. But I've also never purchased anything there, so I guess my affection isn't really doing them any good.

Back to folding and cutting.
