New zine out today. First full zine in quite a while. Fruit is sometimes round.

Charleston Zine Fest went well. By far the busiest event I've been to. My set up was fully realized with this tabling and I'm happy with it. My zine have never been the hip or cool thing at any event, and I certainly never expect them to sell or do well, but making back enough to pay for your table fee and then a little extra to buy more zines is always a success in my book. I also stressed a lot of free things and the moment you say free, people look more closely. As always, everything I make will have somewhere it lives for free, and if you're lucky enough to come to an event or show, there will be something you can just take. Passion, not profit. 

That said, HalloZine is coming up and physical copies of this new zine should be available. How long have I talked about the online shop option? I'll get to it eventually. Lots of other plates are spinning and I hope I can complete them. Then move onto some bigger more ambitious things.

I'm making something but I'm not sure what it is yet. I'm hoping to have it figured out by HalloZine.

In the meantime, I'll be at Charleston Zine Fest in a couple weeks. It'll be the furthest I've traveled for a show but it's back in my home state and I'm excited to attend. Nothing "new" in terms of zines or things, but I think I'll have my setup in its best form. 

Store is still in the damn works. Three other zines are slowly forming. And when those are done I'm taking a short zine hiatus to focus fully on this six month project, which is now at five month until completion, and to then work on a new music project.

July was International Zine Month and I was able to get two zines finished. Relatively happy with that.

I wrote a little column for a friend and toy creator recently and I'm hoping to adapt that into something more about creativity and making zines to have here. More "formalized" posts, or ramblings. Whichever is easier. But I was on a podcast with some great buds last month and most of those same feelings are there. If you like toys or just the creative process, you'll really enjoy what they make. 

Applications for a couple shows are out so we'll see if that comes about. Store is still in the works.
But a new project that will take about six months is in the works. The archer against himself.

Trying to eat more hotdogs this year. I've been fed this song a lot lately and yeah it matches the vibe I'm going for. 

New manual monsters mini here. Been a while since I made one.

I'll be at DCAZ this weekend! A giant hurdle at shows has been accepting non-cash payments.
I'd almost rather give this stuff away than have to worry about a credit card or have people scan
a QR code, but I finally set up a payment system for credit cards. I was against this at first to just avoid
having to worry about another system and another account but it's worked out. Now watch someone
ask if they can swipe their card and I don't have that set up so whatever! Cash is king, yo.

Still working on the online store, still working on music, more zines. Progress is slow, but it's still progress.

It's been wild lately~ Lots of tiny emergencies, a sick cat, and Spring Break have kept me from doing too much.

St. Pete Zine Fest was wonderful. Great people, great crowd. I so so hope to go again (and to not have a sick cat to rush home to).

Also went to Tallahassee Zine Fest and had a wonderful time. Great people, great crowd.
I so so hope to go again (and to not have the cat get very sick when I get back. Still kinda icky but we're getting somewhere). 

Still lots of IRL things to button up, but when they are done, it's back to projects. Especially a new monthly campaign.

In the meantime, I'm honoring a big In for the year and playing more guitar.
Big shoutouts to my brother for getting me a Parting to experiment and play with. It's been a lot of fun.

New Zine, Bastard Hour, is now available.

Happy Gotcha Day, Bruiser.

Also, I'll be attending the St. Pete Zine Fest on February 21st.
Pretty excited to be debuting the two new ones and a bunch of minis.
Gonna start working on making them available online for purchase after this show.
