Or rather, I am going to it. What kinds of things would you like me to bring for your purchase? Besides, obviously, zines.

Girl Gangs and Watercolors

I posted the pencil sketch of this before, here is a (possibly) finished version. It will be a postcard for Stranger Danger Distro once I figure out the formatting! This is the piece that’s based off the Wimmen’s Comic #7 cover.

This is going to be a book cover for a swell small press:

This is going to be a postcard for one of my favorite distros:

It’s based on the cover of Wimmen’s Comix #7 drawn by Melinda Gebbie. I’m going to attempt to do it in full color even though it ain’t my forte.

I love penpals

I recently sent one of my penpals a copy of Interview Clothes and they sent this back:

Cutest!

If you haven’t been watching, Curmudgeon has been updating its own damn self, while I eat donuts in Seattle with my sweetie.

Also, my review of the book Cruel Optimism by Lauren Berlant is up at The New Inquiry.

Happy fucking New Year!

Call for Submissions: Doykeit Zine

sassyfrasscircus — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 22:27:46 +0000

After receiving some submissions and speaking with some invested folks, I realized that this project is bigger than Sassyfrass (see previous call) and deserves more time and space. Now it is its own zine, and you get more time to submit!

We are seeking submissions with a central theme of the cross sections of Jewish and queer identity, and how those identities might inform an anti-Zionist or Palestinian solidarity politic. Some organizing frames include the concept of “doykeit” or “hereness,” diaspora, assimilation, the rhetoric of “self-hate,” decolonization of Judaism, and experiences of queer identity as a Jew or in a Jewish context. Submissions should take the form of personal narrative, whatever mediums you want to use to express that. Any JPEGs should be black and white, high contrast and at least 300 dpi. The issue will be 1/2 size and black and white. Send submissions to sassyfrasscircus@gmail.com. The deadline is February 20th!

Interview Clothes is a cut and color paper doll zine by Jami Sailor and Jenna Bee, with 2 dolls and 10 outfits, in the tradition of American Girl magazine…and effigy dolls. Don’t cut our heads off! Jami says: “yes, my feet look like clubs. and my knees like cinnamon rolls.” JB says: “stick me in my union suit and pose me watching Roseanne reruns while guzzling black coffee.”
