I made a thing!
A new tool at stikki.cc allows you to turn micro-zines into QR-codes where the entire text is stored in the code. Ephemeral digital media, where if the code is destroyed, the text is gone. 2000 words hidden in a sticker, bookmark, or t-shirt?

Spoiled: Follow That Man -- Season 5 Ep. 8 from 1952
Part of the “Spoiled” series, where I take random shots from a movie or program using a toy camera. Later I try to piece the story together from the images and bad memory.

BOXCARS: The Game - all pieces spread out on a table.

After finishing up shipping 100 packages for the Kickstater, I can finally release BOXCARS: the Game in the shop!

BOXCARS: A tabletop role-playing game about life and death as a hobo, riding the rails in 1902.

Thank you to everyone!!

Visual comparison between zine artwork and the source public domain image.

I'm using my Kickstarter Updates for Boxcar: The Game as a bit of a dev blog. I thought this group may be interested in seeing a before and after image comparison for the #ttrpg #zine .
The bottom image is a pd source from 1911. The top is my reworked draft for the game and zine.

Cover to zine: hungry maggot #2

Found a 1994 Cthulu-centric #zine made by Eric York while in a comic shop in Central NJ today. Beautiful artwork! Not sure if he's on Bsky, but he's tillinghast23 on insta. Love the work!

Kickstarter Call for 'Zine Quest'

Just sent my 'BOXCARS" TTRPG for application to ZineQuest! I L*O*V*E that they are using images from Jason Price's ( @alwayscheckers.bsky.social )'Notorious'. ..a Fabulous game package!

Down the rabbit-hole.. There was some amazing stuff going on in the early 2ks when zinesters were trying to figure out what to do with the new-fangled Interwebs...

The Archive.org captures of etext.org from that era can eat up some hours. --This snip is from 'The Unit Circle' #3, 2001.

Weird cat looking at zines being made

The zine making supervisor has some critique!

Theme: 6 ways to be productive at work! 😜

Found some old paper rips from my Fisher Price Photo Fun Cam! This is from the Philadelphia Waterworks shot around 2002. It prints on cash-register receipt paper, which aged well.

I have some ideas for a low-tech photo zine or two, so this camera is coming out of storage this week!
