zine Tag

A few weeks ago illustrator Erica Williams contacted me via Etsy asking me if I wanted to do a collaborative project with her. I jumped in and said yes and after lot’s of tennis emailing and getting the project up and running we’re pleased to announce Little Constructs, a quarter monthly zine dedicated to brand new art and upcoming creatives from around the world.

So far we’ve had an amazing number of people asking to be part of it. It just goes to show the power of Twitter as a tool for communication and bringing people together.

I won’t repeat myself about submissions for the first issue as all the information is on Little Constructs blog. Do make sure to follow us on Twitter @LittleConstruct and to use the hash tag #LittleConstructs.

My Owl and Shapes illustration is featured in the first print edition of Cut-Click zine. You can buy it here. Woo hooo! This issue features Tigz (front and back cover) along with Simon Wild, Lesley Barnes and loads more amazingness.

I have not had much time to blog as I’ve currently been updating my Etsy shop….. yes giving this another go………. plus some other exciting things which I will mention in the future kinda don’t want to jinx it haha.

Hope you all have a great week! And what’s happened to the weather anyway??!!

This morning I’m feeling rather bright and chirpy as I received two beautiful sets of art work via the Art Exchange project. Sanna Dyker and Samantha Eynon sent me some lush prints. This means our flat will be nicely decorated all I need is a few more……… Anyhoo see the photos below…..

Sanna’s work is really good, I love the simple line drawings and mark making. (And excuse the scabby nail polish 🙂 )

Well that is all, in other news me and some peeps on Twitter are planning on starting up a monthly zine promoting and dedicated to students/graduates and artists who are just starting out. I feel that although there are a lot of pdf magazines and other zines out there (I mean some are good…….,) they’re all focused on well known and established artists which is fair enough like. We were thinking of writing some reviews of shows/ talking about different art practices, having a special month of the artist section along with a running theme for the zine (different theme for each month.)  Any having an artist design the front cover OR logo. So if you would like to take part please DM me, we’re in the very early stages so nothing is set. However any suggestions is more than welcome.

Have a good Saturday!
