  • downsizing

    Or, does size really matter? I have been seeing and handling smaller zines like the one below over the past months and really liking the esthetics of the smaller size. Seeing it juxtaposed with my last zine, the size they have all been, has got me thinking about size, and playing with the smaller format.…

  • design

    This is sort of going to be a “how the sausage gets made” post. My friend, and zine subscriber, Scott, has heard a lot of this already. My process is not very complicated, especially compared with the online publishing places like Blurb. I design the zine totally on my ipad pro. I do not even…

  • anarchism

    As my last post indicates, I don’t play well with authorities, except my own. This goes way back to grade school. We had to say the pledge of allegiance before class started, and in some cases back then, the lord’s prayer. There was always a voice in the back of my mind asking what does…

  • weaning

    I will be here more it seems. Took a trip to visit family last week in Asheville, and went untethered, no ipad. I don’t have all the social media stuff on my phone, it is a functional tool. I enjoyed it very much. Since returning, I have found less and less satisfaction with how instagram…

  • selfing

    And no, this is not going to be about “selfies”. A guy I follow, Paul Hedderman, who expounds on the concept of nonduality, uses the word selfing to describe the activities generated from the mind that we action figures use to prop up the mistaken idea that we are “long lasting independent separate entities”, a…
