Tell me about your body

Tell me about your body

After going to TEDxBrisbane and seeing Dallas Clayton’s video on publishing “An Awesome Book” I have been feeling inspired to self publish a book. I’ve also been reading a few old zines, the FaT GiRL zines from the 90s in particular, and I thought I’d start out by publishing a zine on body image – your body image.

My body is an anarchy coat. It looks after me.
So, I put up a question on a Google Form: Tell me about your body in 10 words or less.

Some days my body makes me want to cry
Lots of people have contributed their statements already! Some of them are sad, some are funny, but all of them speak to me of honesty and struggle.

My body is my best friend and my worst enemy

So, how do you feel about your body? You can contribute too. You don’t have to put your real name, but a name is nice because I can illustrate your words and then attribute those words to you. The end product will be an A5 sized zine – I am yet to figure out the details, but I hope to have enough interest in the book to have it colour printed. I will also make the zine available online for free.

If you’re interested in a printed zine, please let me know so I can start figuring out numbers!

Hair'em Scare'em

I was invited to submit some of my older work to Gestalten publication Hair’em Scare’em, and today I got my contributer copy. The book is full of fantastic illustrative and photographic work from a huge variety of artists – I was really impressed with it, and myself for being published alongside such great names!

That’s my stuff on page 74!

Forth Thread: This Ain't Digital
Tabitha actually sent me my issue of Forth Thread the other week, but I hadn’t gotten around to blogging about it. You’ll have to excuse its rumpled demeanor, Australia Post must have handled this with their elbows!!

There’s the Bearded Lady of Brussels!

The zine has heaps of young Australian talent – you can buy a copy of the first edition “This Ain’t Digital” here.

Peppermint mail

Kelley from Peppermint Magazine sent out my contributer copy of issue 4 and this lovely diary!

2010 is going to kick arse! Am I right?

Me, in a Test Everything production

Hey, it’s one of my drawings in lovingly hand printed zine format! I drew this for Rand’s zine “Everything’s Okay, I Drew This For You”. I knew of Rand through Eat Sleep Draw and added him as a friend of flickr. When I saw he was plotting this zine and asking for submissions I had to draw something because I liked the idea so much! The drawing is one of my most popular, with a staggering amount of favourites on flickr… it’s amazing how many people like it!

If you want to buy one of these zines, I suggest you scoot along over here and secure your copy of this very limited edition run.
