G’day!
I’ve published a 72-page full-colour booklet that features my photography and haiku.
Can post to you for US$15.
Keen to distribute, so additional copies are $10 each and make a great gift.
Send me a message and we can arrange details.
Cheers!

I also wrote a little essay about releasing a limited cassette.
The support has exceeded my expectations, thanks in part to this community. Starting work on issue three while I keep up with orders.
I also reduced my shipping prices, essentially eliminating a “handling” fee I was initially encouraged to include. Enjoy!

Deft Esoterica is now on my “Next payday…” list!
Two recent favorites as of late include
Weird Walk, a zine dedicated to UK folklore, hauntology and rambling in the country,
and
Becoming the Forest looks at nature, ecology and black metal. Both enjoyable reads.

Hey all, wanted to mention an article I wrote for Horizontalpitch about my journey with eurorack:
http://www.horizontalpitch.com/2020/01/my-relationship-with-eurorack/
Wasn’t quite sure of the best place to announce this and it made the most sense to post it here, although it isn’t, strictly speaking, on paper. It is quite similar to my writing in Deft Esoterica though and I’m excited to share it with the community!

I don’t particularly mind where this post is (if you think it belongs here, cool), but since you seemed unsure I just wanted to suggest that I’ve seen @rodrigo post ‘bloggy’ type stuff on this thread.
Looking forward to reading your article @Claude
…aaaaaaannnd now(!)

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of that thread @Angela , there are a number of tasty links there indeed! I think I will leave my little announcement here unless anyone had strong feelings that I should move it. Horizontalpitch identifies as a “blogzine” and the content of the article is so similar to my zine content I feel like it fits better here, almost as if I maintained my own website with some of my zine content on it…at least that’s my current thinking 
Thanks for your kind words @renegog, I’ll share them with Ola! So pleased you enjoyed it!!!

I got this thermal receipt printer and had been looking for a use for it, so created this small photography zine. High contrast photography + dithering + low res = interesting textures (to me anyway).
It also is the most fun thing to print.

super cool! I love the correlation between the sound the printer is making and the image being printed

Interesting! I hadn’t noticed that. Maybe i can try and print some sheets expressly designed to make particular sounds…

Could be my imagination but I’d be very curious to hear if you experiment with that!
Are you distributing the zines?

Our predicted snow storm is holding off so those will ship out today!
I love mailing zines out, it’s such a pleasure and very exciting to share the final product. Also fun to imagine the travels of each package, all the different people collectively making an effort on our behalf. So cool, thanks for your interest!
