Hey guys,<br />
<br />
So we totally love the Alternative Press Fair, its where we (Sofia and Sabba) first got introduced to self publishing, and where we met all the amazing supportive, talented people that made it awesome for us. So each year, we continually support the community of the Alternative Press, and actively work towards it in our own creations. We'll be selling some exciting new things and some of the established classics too. So please come along and support self publishing, book art and craft fairs in London.<br />
<br />
You can find more information on Alternative Press on their website, http://alternativepress.org.uk/<br />

and the actual event, http://www.facebook.com/events/637775956235749/<br />

Usurp gallery had some delicious tasty food to sample as well as some provocative discussions around the whole culture of DIY publishing and zine making. The conclusion?

Beautifully handcrafted books, intricate prints and the most lavish of drawings. We acquired a number of shiny delicacies, one such find is the work of screen printer and book maker Otto.<br />Here is his website http://www.ottoillustration.com/<br />We also found out that St Bride's offers letter pressing, screen printing, and book binding courses.. a perfect venue all in all, and a lovely way to wilt away some of those precious Sunday moments. A potential place to practice those good old screen printing ambitions! http://stbridefoundation.org/visit.htmlUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9222280897710982853.post-73410886567851693122011-11-13T13:01:00.000+00:002011-11-13T13:01:55.382+00:00Handmade and Bound<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.handmadeandbound.com/wp-content/uploads/poster_colour_H_B-333x471.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.handmadeandbound.com/wp-content/uploads/poster_colour_H_B-333x471.jpg" width="224" /></a></div><br />

It was nice talking to all of you who popped over to purchase something, browse, or just for a chit chat. We hope you enjoyed the day just as much as we did, and to those who couldn't make, maybe we'll see you next time.</span></div>Simonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14574280915165984290noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9222280897710982853.post-4616022809709983462011-06-13T21:22:00.006+01:002011-06-13T21:27:50.144+01:00Zine Fest 2011<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://feministmemory.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/zinefestflyer_glue.jpg?w=640&h=436" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="218" src="http://feministmemory.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/zinefestflyer_glue.jpg?w=640&h=436" width="320" /></a></div><br />

A reply wasn't expected as I was sure that the Library had more important things to worry about than stroking my bruised ego and my sense of zine-worth... Needless-to-say I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email from LCC Librarian Leila Kassir...<br /><br /></div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">I've met Leila a few times previously, introduced by the lovely Jimi and Peter of Alternative Press, and she too is a rather nice lady. She kindly informed me that she had brought my zine at the Wolfwind Zine Fair in Tunbridge Wells last year - a fair I couldn't attend but was represented by the rest of Walrus.... And so with my sense of zine-worth restored, I began to feel like a dumbo - laughing at how it didn't even occur to me that my silly little zine could have been <em>brought for the collection</em>...<br /><br /></div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">Hahahahahahaahahahahahahaahhhaaa... what a waste of drama and less than chuffed feelings...</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"> </div></div>e.m.s.phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10010638892430872088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9222280897710982853.post-80336818881826519072011-05-15T10:37:00.001+01:002011-05-15T10:37:30.987+01:00WOO!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606730995898366002" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHocohKsanse1RazTqeYhp1a_G4_dUeW1s_UV7vz0Pue3g7qmlWMFwNLJayatoSFJ12I750Gjezn0ysL18U1pPMSMIl29W3eqgra7cssXABpGE6NWceFV1qL__uYKSWPgCbtZ3DSETyJI/s400/International+APF.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 273px;" /></div><div align="justify">Another flyer for the International Alternative Press Festival.... its all so very exciting!!!</div><div></div></div>e.m.s.phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10010638892430872088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9222280897710982853.post-9528878250883761102011-05-15T10:37:00.000+01:002011-05-15T10:37:06.775+01:00Musings<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div><div><div><div><div align="justify">I received an email a few days ago (actually it was a while ago but the email got lost in the vast abysses of my junk folder until recently when I thought I would have a gander... it wasn't pretty - bizarrely full of adverts for fabric softeners) from the London College of Communication's Library. The purpose of the email was to inform me that my zine is part of the LCC Zine Collection and standard practice is to ask if I would allow the Library to use images from the zine to help promote and raise the profile of the collection... My first reaction was one of being chuffed: 'hurrah!" I thought, patting myself on the back... and then I wondered "how did the LCC get my zine?"... and my second reaction was one of ... not quite sad but not chuffed - so less than chuffed but also less than sad and upset (please insert appropriate adjective here)... Someone must of donated the zine to the LCC Zine Collection... they didn't want it ... perhaps it was someone who I had coerced into swapping zines with me at a fair ... and now they were like "man! this sucks" so they gave it away cursing my name because I obviously got the better deal... and then I had my third reaction of ... not quite relief as my second reaction was not strong enough to warrant relief but it was something on the relieved spectrum, as I became thankful that they had appreciated the zine enough to donate it to the library and not recycle... or worse throw it in the bin... With that I gave the LCC Library permission to use images of the zine whenever and however they liked.<br />

This got me thinking: the great thing about making zines is that it is open to everyone with access to a pen, a piece of paper, and a photocopier. It’s an interesting medium to work in because it is so accessible. Instead of making work where you, the artist, are removed and where your work is at a distance from your audience, you’re creating something that is tangible - that your audience can hold and take away. You watch as they approach your table, pick up your zine and buy. You also watch as they approach your table, pick up your zine, flick through it, put it back down and walk away. And sometimes you watch as they approach your table, and bypass your zine all together. It’s a really interesting way to assess who you’re creating for, and who exactly your audience are, and in turn why you are creating. It’s also really satisfying to make something that is immediate and mass – produced. I think as an artist, there’s a lot of value in creating your own zines because it allows you to not be so precious with your work, and think about how and why you are communicating.</div></div></div></div></div></div>e.m.s.phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10010638892430872088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9222280897710982853.post-68359659878873483262011-05-06T11:15:00.000+01:002011-05-06T11:15:20.283+01:00Alternative Press Festival<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://forbiddenplanet.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Flyer-International-Alternative-Press-Fair-.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="232" src="http://forbiddenplanet.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Flyer-International-Alternative-Press-Fair-.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
