Zine Time!

It'll be ready for shipment on the 1st or 2nd of October. If anyone wants a copy, let me know! This one has excerpts of my personal blog on it.

I try to publish one a month, so let me know if you're interested in November's zine, too. I do not yet have a theme for it, but let me know!

Sometimes you just HAVE to share and advertise!! Guido Vermeulen from Belgium of course!

My bout of slightly green has disappeared (referring Dean and Ern) - I received the most fantastic package from Guido - in an envelope titled - self-portrait in B - Minor - MAN! I know this minor key - but it makes the most spectacular life symphony... 

The original paintings for the Zine pages the contributors will by lucky enough to receive were in the…

Valentine Mark Herman: Where were you in the 80's and the year of HM the Queen

Where were you in the 80's?  This question seems to be going around the website quite a bit.  First one must try to remember the 80's, and then try to come up with a return Mail Art reply to Val.  The pressure is on once again.
