Little Ghosts Books Workshop Space Little Ghosts Books horror bookstore & community hub is looking to expand its space by renovating our back garage into a studio to host our workshops, book clubs, and author events.

this is so profoundly impressive! i wish you could also pay yourself but i fully understand how much money there isn't in cool zine projects 💜

!! so cool!

every day we wake up to new confirmations that reclaiming the means of production is how we get free. make pasta, make zines; make paintings and gardens and fresh bread and friendships. make a future you can hold in your own uncommodified hands.

running an in-person zine distro - sheer spite press Sheer Spite isn’t my first time running a zine-selling operation: from about 2012 to 2016, I ran a couple of zine racks in person in Ottawa, where I was...

I wrote about how and why to run an in-person zine distro, something I did and enjoyed from about 2012-2016.

I recommend it! tbh it's a lot easier and more fun than running a distro via an online store.

There are a bunch of zines that I only have 1 or 2 copies left of, & I’m moving soon, so I'm offering an extremely limited run of surprise boxes with as many zines as I can fit into a flat-rate shipping box (~25-30! kind of a bonkers deal!)

a graphic reading "wasted ink zine bistro". "wasted ink" is in a swirly clownish 90s font, "zine bistro" is in teal brush script with a heavy drop shadow. there are clipart images of a coffee cup, bagel, stapler, croissant, and coffee grinder in a blocky 90s woodcut-ish style, and fruitopia-esque spirals in the background. it's a work of art obviously

graphic design is my passion 🥰

i feel like it'd be exactly the same except rebranded in this style aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Global_...
