Zine fair in Wimbledon Library, Sat 14 Nov



Zineopolis goes to Hastings for a day out

It was great to meet all the new Illustration for Screen Art  and Graphic Design for Digital Media degree students at the University of Brighton's Hastings Campus on Monday!

I took a selection of lovely zines from the Zineopolis Art-Zine collection and gave a lecture about the collection and how we define an 'Art-Zine'.
In the afternoon I ran a workshop with Paul Burgess (their Course Leader) and we explored the idea of 'GOOD and BAD' through a folded-sheet zine workshop. Here are some images of the day.

Black Box




Black Box

Falmouth, UK 2014
Saddle stitched zine in black, laser printed with heavier cover.
A4 portrait with 32 pages
Edition of 20

Description:
"This work came out of a dream and then another dream and the peripheral flutterings of the mind vying for attention. It was dream that showed me what to do and that was to follow where it might lead. There seemed a purpose, a vague goal, but it showed me there was no grander purpose than to spend time quietly alone by myself. By delivering that story onto paper intuitively, I have documented the process of listening to myself - the dream self. The stories appear in comic book form as a souvenir of those trips taken to this quiet place. I recreate that place here in a tangible form, a physical approximation so that you too may visit awhile. I recommend visiting this space alone but that may not be possible." Lewanne Stewart from Authorial Illustration Practice Website

Ich Bin Ein Berliner







Ich Bin Ein Berliner
Matthew George

Publishing Info:
UK 2015
Saddle stitched zine in colour on white copy paper
Mini-zine 5cm x 7cm with 32 pages

Description:
"Introducing Ich bin ein Berliner! A radical new zine on various themes including all things German, American popular culture, donuts and political graphic art from around the world. This 32 page mini zine hopes to embrace all things German much as the U.S President John F. Kennedy aimed to do in his 1963 speech "Ich bin ein Berliner", which roughly translates as I am a jelly doughnut. The zine will feature in a visually graphic way, some of the rich culture and feel of Germany which charms so many and at the same time offering a witty perspective. This is the first issue of of an ongoing zine which I hope you will all enjoy.  It is completely hand made and printed by myself and hope to be able to distribute them across the UK and ROTW."
