We have been busily working away on our layouts, hassling late contributors and learning a thing or two about computers along the way - thank god for Jess!
Nicola and I always intended for our little zine to be very cut and paste for the very reason that neither of us (especially me) are any good at computers, so here are a few of our layouts ready to be scanned - literally cut with scissors and pasted with glue sticks.
We put an ad on The Big Idea for contributions and Lisa Black was one amazing artist who got back to us, she creates what she calls 'Fixed Animals' - real taxidermy animals that she then inserts mechanical parts into. We were a bit shocked at first having never seen anything like it but her work is very powerful.
My buddy Jen is studying in her final year of photography at AUT where Nicola and I also studied, she is making some pretty great work so of course I had to interview her. In the foreground there is a wee ad that'll be featured about an Art Swap - anyone interested - contact us!
I interviewed the lovely ladies behind Kraftbomb about what goes into organising one of the best craft fairs to hit Auckland recently.. Issue One will be on sale there this Sunday - Grey Lynn Community Centre, 1-4pm.
Ah.. the sweet hook ups of working at a printing factory - the first run of our zine is only going to set us back 2 dozen beers - excellent!

Cardboard box, the zine love of my life.
