I got home late the other night and went into a strange frenzy deciding I would sort my zines out.

Thurston Moore on Independent Publishing

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Now, I am in not always a big fan of Vice magazine, sometimes definitely but often not. But, I really like the VBS internet TV station. Ian Svenonius’ programme is amazing, Art Talk can be great especially the Richard Prince episode, but I just saw the Bangs programme with Thurston Moore talking about his library. Whoa it’s great!

Amanda Maxwell well has a brand new zine available. Well, I am not sure how available, but try get one here - mymemoryisshot@live.com. It is really something great. If you can’t procure one I will have a couple on my table at previously blogged Zine Fair.

Everyone in Sydney should come to this. Even better, book a table and show your wares.

Not Art Art.

Note To Self Studio Visit

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

Popped into to see one of my favourite Melbourne inhabitants.
Max has recently set up his own one-man sweat-shop and jeans making emporium. As far as I know he has been making tailored jeans since forever but until now it has been more of a side project. Here we go full steam. The jeans look really great.
