Hello fellow IUOMA members !

I went to this Zine Fest recently at this gorgeous historical venue, Osaka Central Public Hall ( - photos may be sideways or upside-down...)

There were over 50 zine booths - it was the biggest zine Fest I have ever attended and I was so excited !

Here are what this Zine Fest was like :

Is there a Zine Fest planned for 2026?

I am making new work for BABE (Bristol Artist Book Event) in the United Kingdom later this year (26th and 27th June) https://www.bookarts.uwe.ac.uk/babe/

I hope some of you are able to attend - if you do, please come and say hello.

Best wishes

@ Zorica and @ William -- Yes! It was so fun !! 🤓 I also enjoyed talking to the people who were selling their zines  - one of them gave me a little discount although I was not asking for the discount. All in all, a really great time at this Zine Fest ☺️
