Black Metal zine

thickarms · Post by **thickarms** » Thu Nov 18, 2010 7:15 pm

Spent the past week putting together the cheapest zine i could come up with and managed to make them for 0.6p a zine. All hand painted covers, pretty much made to request. Tried to 'bind' these in a unique/cheap as possible way. All illustrations by me. These are free but if anyone wants one i'd appreciate a small donation for stamps and envelopes. I have a few of my hand screened zine about kenneth anger's Hollywood Babylon left too.

anyway here it is:

can't seem to get the picture working but the link seems to be working now. can only really afford to post to the UK.

if anyone knows any good places to send these to it'd be great if you give me some details

These are fucking great la!

I reckon you'd dig sketch stance if you haven't already!

ha they're awesome!

At uni I recently did a workshop about book binding and different ways of creating folding books like that, they are pretty cool. I might make some..

How many have you sold/given away?

that seems like a fair swap stewart. if people PM me their address i'll bang a few in the post later this week. Not really that bothered about postage for UK peeps, it's only 30p or so. thanks for the kind words.

They're quality! Do you do a lot of zines/illustrations & what not?

Dan, are you at MMU? I did the book binding induction there a few years ago.

Yeah, doing graphic design.

I'm at uni at the moment so I try to get as much done as I can, sometimes I can use them in projects and sometimes projects where I can't use illustrations take up too much time. Gonna try making zines a regular thing though

& so you should, these are good.

I don't think I know anyone on the Graphics course. I graduated Interactive Arts last year, still got a few friends there so I pop in from time to time.
I was going to play a gig in the Holden a couple of weeks ago but the person who'd "organised" it hadn't organised anything & there was a meeting going on from the time I was supposed to play til the time I was having a band practise.

Ah cool. I will have to check it out if you play in there again.

Thickarms, how do you manage to make these for 0.6p?! Do you hand draw all of them or just one and then scan/print duplicates.
