"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, 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!

Elf World #1 // $6.00 + shipping


A collaborative zine heavily inspired by the fantasy genre including a liberal mix of short stories and mini-epics. The Elf World series has been lovingly created with great attention to detail; the hand-printed letterpress covers with French flaps are utterly divine and the illustration work inside is supreme.

Bird Brain #4 // $3 + shipping


François Vigneault was inspired to create this zine by a series of field trips in the Spring to Winter of 2010. Combining personal sketches (and a beautiful watercolour study) with observations from bird encounters, this 16 page black and white zine with Gocco printed cover makes a lovely edition to the collection.

Mountain Man Meat // $5 + shipping


The website describes this zine as "collected artwork and thought/collage from mysterious collective." Nightmarish perversions illustrated and demonstrated through collage, blended with scrawling written words that make little sense aside from being peculiarly obscure. Mountain Man Meat is filthy disgusting, scruffy and nonconforming - perfect.
