Added a new Zine to my shop:

Spoiled: Follow That Man -- Season 5 Ep. 8 from 1952
Part of the “Spoiled” series, where I take random shots from a movie or program using a toy camera. Later I try to piece the story together from the images and bad memory.

I'm using my Kickstarter Updates for Boxcar: The Game as a bit of a dev blog. I thought this group may be interested in seeing a before and after image comparison for the #ttrpg #zine .
The bottom image is a pd source from 1911. The top is my reworked draft for the game and zine.

Found a 1994 Cthulu-centric #zine made by Eric York while in a comic shop in Central NJ today. Beautiful artwork! Not sure if he's on Bsky, but he's tillinghast23 on insta. Love the work!

Down the rabbit-hole.. There was some amazing stuff going on in the early 2ks when zinesters were trying to figure out what to do with the new-fangled Interwebs...
The Archive.org captures of etext.org from that era can eat up some hours. --This snip is from 'The Unit Circle' #3, 2001.

Found some old paper rips from my Fisher Price Photo Fun Cam! This is from the Philadelphia Waterworks shot around 2002. It prints on cash-register receipt paper, which aged well.
I have some ideas for a low-tech photo zine or two, so this camera is coming out of storage this week!
