zine-a-rama

hello friends.



i really can't believe that july is halfway done! this summer its been a bit hard to get any of my big art projects done, or started, for that matter... but one thing that i WILL be doing is putting together a zine and selling it at the portland zine symposium! woot! (if any of you are in Portland, come check it out!) my zine is going to be a collection of self portraits that i drew while i was pregnant with amelia.

one of the best pregnancy books that jake and i read (and we read a bunch of them) was this zine called Placenta Zine. i don't know who made it or if there are any others, but it was a really sweet zine with birth stories, and basically how to be a radical parent.

i think my zine is going to be my tribute to Placenta Zine, in a way, although i'm not sure if i'll have much text, i think its mostly going to be to story of my pregnancy told through drawings. i'm also thinking that if i can pull it off, i'll put together another little zine of some illustrated conversations that i have in some of my sketch books. here's a little preview of some of the drawings that will be in my zine...

also, the link to pdx zines

more.

Last night amelia 'said' more. as in give me more rice. she said it in sign language. her first sign language word. it was really cute and amazing.

why do people spell things with a 'k' just to be kute? ugh, gawd.

I made this for ang
i made it for two reasons:
one- she commented on my blog.
two- i'm pretty sure she likes coffee.

(it will be in the mail tomorrow)

new shirts

Isold a bunch of shirts on saturday, so i decided to stay home from the market on sunday and make more. Next saturday i'll have 4 new types of shirts available! AND hopefully my new button making supplies will come this week so i'll have more buttons too!


Oh, and by the way, i took all of the pay pal buttons off of my older posts. i did it a while ago, actually. it was too much to think about keeping track of what i had for the online 'store' and the booth at saturday market. but, i should mention that i'm still more than happy to sell shirts to people who live in places other than portland, though. just let me know if you see something you like and i'll try to get it to you!
