Here's my Zine : ' FEED BACK ' > as in guitars and vocal mics screeching, lights flashing, coffee tables shaking, pets hiding . . . feed back.
I've been wanting to do this for awhile, as I was desiring a way, a forum, a platform to fuse my collage, rip it up, stream of consciousness, note making, captured words and phrases, just go for it mash it up stuff - all in one place. And here it is.
So after snooping around online I had a 'flash' and thought I'd try it. I based it around the old single sheet of 8.5 / 11 inch copy paper folded top to bottom, then left side to right. Staple on fold. Cut off top = Zine. I wanted double sided - so I went a picked up some very heavy stock paper. Then it occurred to me - " Like WOW Scoob - I'm going to blow all my snack money on ink and paper . . . . . aaaahhhhhh !!! "
So I started planning.
Inspiration and illuminated ideas nearly tricked me into purchasing a laser printer, so I could "pound 'em out, and spread 'em around." ( I'm still an analogue kid at heart. You know - hold it in your hands, smell it, put in your mouth kind of a creature ) Well after pricing them and then figuring out that laser printers are costly, and ink cartridge refills are like a MILLION $$$$, I realized I had to find a more efficient and cost effective solution. And here it is. Online publishing ( kind of - ??? ha ha -) Anyway - as I already mentioned, this is an excellent 'arena' to roll up my varied peripheral interests in and put them forth. Collage and Photography are strange birds that come to visit my cave randomly. I wake up - and POW >>> there they are. Cawing and squawking at the entrance - calling me out with their shinning dark wings.
So the way it works is - the back cover is on the left, the right side the front. I posted it this way so you can enjoy the 'spread' of the pages, as you would, if you were holding a copy. Its a mix of found object / image, and also my own photographs.
So crank up some snacks - slip those head phones on if the kids are sleeping and plug in to FEED BACK ~ Vol 1.
Enjoy Irresponsibly - J.H.S.
