"You must be Windows 95 because you've got me so unstable."

Hilariously funny and curiously cute nothing beats a good pick-up line. Julia Matheson couples cutesy drawings with adorable pick-up lines and a few "Yo Mamma" jokes for good measure.

Lost Boy #3 // £2.50 + shipping

60 pages of music, film and popular culture - a heavy mix gig reviews, interviews and illustrations. Lost Boy #3 arrived unexpected (thank you Liam!) and very much welcomed; if you haven't purchased the previous two issues I think you should, especially now they are on sale. I'm rather tempted by the Bukowski bag..

Chalk Thoughts :: $5 + shipping

This handmade, 20 page colour photographic zine has encouraged me to get back into zine making. The style ofChalk Thoughts is inspiring; from the rough edges (machine-sewn binding) to the mixed-media photography to the (overly emotional) quotes and half filled pages - everything pulls together and looks outstandingly supreme.

Cats I Know :: $5 + shipping

Cats, cats, cats! 44 black and white cat illustrations pulled from the blog of Kaori Mitsushima. Cats - what more could you possibly want?

Off My Meds :: $6 + shipping


Philip Dearest stopped taking his medication and this is the "vulgar, weird and wonderful" result. Off My Medsincludes 37 illustrations with a cover design by Karl Kwasny. Thankfully Philip sent me several zines (and one of the best cover letters I have ever received) because I cannot get enough of his alarmingly frantic, absolutely brilliant illustration work. The perverse meets sexual deviancy meets internal angst, producing the most sordid (and wickedly delightful) zine. Buy it!

Zine Showcase 1#

from Oh My Clumsy Heart by sophie@ohmyclumsyheart.com (Sophie)

I wanted to add a little something extra to the blog; I have recently purchased some amazing zines and thought I would share my little discoveries with you.

Minifanfan
Blog // Shop
Better Together // $10 + shipping

Minifanfan's first A5 sized zine is printed in full colour and features 16 pages inspired by Jack Johnson (apparently). I am a MASSIVE fan of Minifanfan, I simply cannot get enough of her absolutely wonderful illustrations.

Sarah McNeil

Stastictical Analysis... // $4.00 + shipping

A zine filled with with various graphs depicting "things that happen but don't matter" (and everything else, of course). In each copy there is a unique graph hand-drawn specifically for that zine only.

L'employé du Moi
Website
Appendix // Free!

Special thanks to Olive for sending me this copy.

This free newspaper is a compilation of short stories by a selection of authors, chronicling the last decade. It has been quite a while since I even attempted to read French (I do wish I'd kept my up my French language skills) so reading through this is slow (and rather hard) work for me.. Regardless the stories are lovely and the illustrations are wonderful; well worth a read.. if you can manage to get your hands on a copy that is!

Tone #4 // 99p

A collaboration zine from the art students of Hull featuring themed artwork; created and edited by Abigail Nottingham. Issue four's theme is "characters" and in particular the work of James Fenwick really appealed to me.

Beverly Ealdama
Tumblr // Shop
A Million City Lights // $1.75 + shipping

A hand-stitched, 12 page, full colour mini-zine filled with hand-drawn typography and patterns.

If you have made a zine (or know of an incredible one I simply must own!) and you would like to see it featured, I'm welcoming submissions - e-mail me and/or leave a comment. Anyone who submits a zine will receive a little something in return as a thank you ♥
