July is still a little over a month away, but you know how it is with us zinesters. We get super psyched for the prospect of International Zine Month that we start planning and preparing for it months in advance.
Last year, I was super upset that the list of prompts was posted later than usual. "Usual" being approximately two weeks before July 1, and if I remember correctly, last year, they posted is right ON July 1, which was a weekend! And that was how I missed the two first days of IZM 2022. It pissed me off to no end, and I decided that next year (i.e. this one) I will simply write up my own list of prompts and not wait like an idiot until the first day of IZM and miss out on some quality zinestering that could have started earlier.
I'll give the IZM people another couple of weeks before I start a first draft of the prompts list. For now, fellow zinester, Henry Jaepelt, and I have already started brainstorming on ideas for issue 3 of Brazael & Israzil - a collab zine that is officially becoming our IZM tradition. With a talented comics artist like Henry, it's sure to be another brilliant issue.
Henry also sent me a digital version of two kickass flyers he designed. I got my husband to print them in sizes A6 and A7 and also as stickers. The stickers promptly went in my new notebook, and the flyers fit right on my Zine Wall of Fame. Check this out!
So yes, I am super excited for July! I put some order in my zine room and it is now ready to be decimated by paper clippings and spilled ink and liquid paper, and also smelling like utter heaven with my scented oil diffuser. Fuck yeah!!
Peace, love and if zines is not a method of survival, I don't know what is
Riot Grrrl
