My day at @voidspacezine.bsky.social live consisted of…
🤡Clowns
🐺Werewolf hunting
🧛🏻‍♂️Being an ex-vampire at a support group
🎭Playing Hamlet’s mum

Each of these things took me out of my comfort zone to a place of fun & creative thinking. Congrats to all involved for a great event!

I got to share Support Group for the Newly Human at @voidspacezine.bsky.social Live last weekend and I've reflected on how all my design changes played out, and what might happen with future versions:

Hello everyone! We've been quiet of late (the small matter of a festival to run)

But now the madness of Voidspace Live is done, we are turning back to zine & press matters and it's feels great 💥

Spring is here, and we've been busy scrubbing the harder to reach nooks and crannies of the Voiddspace

We've spruced up our website, including adding a brand new, shiny (and VERY hard to install) events page. We've even given Bear Creek Corner a proper home

Take a peek:
