I went to the Oddities & Curiosities Expo yesterday and only saw two zines in the whole place. I did talk to one incredible zine artist though she wasn't selling zines at this event.

Colette Clancy of fogbarrow.com. Outstanding artist who I hope will soon be illustrating books so I can buy them all

If you don't want to deal w the hassle of making a direct storefront for you books and other creative projects, I can't stress enough that Itch.io is a nice middle ground. It gives you a theme editor so you can pick the background color for your landing page, you can add images, use basic WYSIWYG 🧵

Having tested the Canon Pixma on a 27-page document, my Epson Workforce is way more of a workhorse. The Pixma prints cleanly but past 10 pages it started struggling. For small, color-heavy print runs it seems good, though.

*I have the most basic Mega Tank model so YMMV

At first I was embarrassed to be excited to make zines about special interests but then I realized that's literally the point.

I put out "PALS: The Radical Possibilities of Friendship" over a decade ago. There are many thousands of them out in the world, people have gotten tattoos about it (?!??!?!), and it's still going-- I have two big boxes of copies at home I need to fold.

I just set up my Canon Pixma Mega Tank. I am so stoked to start printing my lil art things!

I'm putting together an anthology zine of fantasies, any genre! Whether you dream of sexy encounters, reliable public transit, a delicious meal with friends, or a world beyond capitalism, whether it's a sentence or a short story, I'd love to hear it.
