Just letting people know that I’m going to try and put a little effort into cataloguing zines that I read and how people can get in touch with the makers and get their own copies over on the flick here. I’ve only done 5 so far, but I’ve got several stacks hanging around and plenty of holiday time to do it!

After spending the day at the MCA zine fair(which was incredibly fun), I’m feeling a lot of love towards the world, so I thought I’d use that love to update this thingie and spread some love.

Here are just a couple:

Iron Deficient Chef: Sydney Vegan DIY cooking show(don’t know if they’d consider themselves DIY, but they do, and they’ve got skills!) of amazingness. Suzy has been such an hero to me, with her friendly and positive manner. It’s so genuine and inspiring and every time I watch an episode, I want to go out and make the world a bit better and hopefully in turn inspire others like this show does me(and I’m not even vegan!).

Emily Hasselhoof. I had the privelidge of eating dumplings with this babe, but I just wanted to say, her art is inspiring and her work ethic is also. And she is a babe, which is irrelevant but I cannot not mention this.

Flaps These are 2 really awesome ladies who make zines. Their dry, dry sense of humour is like the most amazing thing in the world. I was really happy when I found out that Flaps was actually a reference to female genitalia!

Vanessa Berry. For so many reasons, her writing, her existance, everythiiiing. Her cooking! The fact that for my birthday she included in my gift a handmade booklet of meal tickets, for special meals prepared by her!

World is good, even when times are bad. Or times are good even when world is bad? I have no idea, but hopefully you get the smell of my cooking. xoxo

Sometimes my life feels like I’m in that episode of the Mighty Boosh “Power of the Crimp” when the Flighty Zeus keep popping up. Sorry for the teenaged cryptic blah blah howevs, I am greatly looking forward to next week, a week of respite and lovliness and making sense again. But as long as I can occasionally grab a few minutes of rolling on the grass like a dog with an itchy back(!!), I’ll make it through.

Plus with the assistance of plenty of Max Brenner visits, life will be peachy in the face of ominous metaphoric clouds. Life is full of canaries and black rabbits and angry little dogs. Of incredibly sweet new friends and loyal and beautiful old ones.

On Friday we launched the exhibition “Words Nerds and other cataastrophes” which was curated by the lovely Chris Tamm and today I facilitated some workshops at the zine masterclass at the MCA. It was weird. Now I have big last week of school including 500000 assignments, 3 of which are relevant to design.
