WEDNESDAY

       same place same time

I am looking forward to this week. I found an old sketchbook of mine that only had a few pages used, so I tore them out! It's like new! I also found a book in the kids section of goodwill (graphic novels end up here...) called Skyscrapers of the Midwest, I really like the crosshatching in it.

Have any of you read Special Exits? If you haven't, please do! I will hopefully get my copy back in a few weeks and would like to re read it, by then you should have read it too and we can all talk about it!

I wrote down some email addresses of a few of you who wanted to be able to post and edit on here, and now they are lost. Please email me and I will add you as a contributor. katrina 4 ever at gmail, you have to have a gmail account too.

See you soon!

THIS WEEK (AUG 21)

8pm anodyne

woo hoo almost done!

I spent some quality time at kinkos. Oh I miss the days of punch cards and fully stocked counter caddy things (there was a stapler with about enough staples for a year and a crusty white out, I had to ask for a glue stick at the counter). Anybody know of anywhere to make copies and work on stuff for less than 12¢ a copy?

It was a red day, I wore a red dress, I got red berries iced tea and the zine has a red cover.

I tried to get a picture of my assembly set up (without getting people in it, all the computers and cubicles were being used). Usually I try to have things assembled at home, but I wanted to resize some of them and not cut up your originals. I don't think I was done this during daylight in about 7 years. It definitely is a different scene.

I felt a little like I was making a mix tape cover (typewriter, same size margins, lists...) for the middle information page. I think it all turned out pretty nicely! I will have them on Wednesday. Lets meet at the same place again, same time, on Wednesday. 

WHATS GOING ON

4th of July project

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed. Everyones drawings are so great and so unique to your style. This is going to look awesome. I will be hanging out at Kinkos on Monday! They will be in your hands Wednesday!
(If you didn't get something to me but want to, Sunday will be the last last chance. I might even be able to pick it up from you!)

projects/ideas

Everyday can be a Monday book. I will be running this one. Not sure on the final name. It will be a beautiful illustrated collection of our own Monday moments. #ricecakeproblems (that might have to be the name! also, please start using that to tag your own ricecake problems, whatever they may be). I am thinking this will be the same size and landscape as the 7/4 one.

Joke book. This will be collaborated by Emily. Start thinking of jokes you like (or just jokes you can remember) and sketching out what they look like, or what its like telling them, or reactions, etc...

Snark book. Molly is working on this hilarious thing. Think Sark, but sassy and snotty and sarcastic. I cannot wait to see updates!

OH NO! ice cream. A man yelled "OH NO" and we all (like everyone within 30 feet) looked at him. His ice cream fell off this ice cream cone! It was tragic. We all drew about it. PLEASE email or text me a picture of your drawing from that night. I will post them on here!

What other ideas do you guys have for projects? It would be amazing if everyone masterminded one at some point. If you have one you want me to post on here, or a picture you want to share, please email or text it to me. I want to figure out if I can make it so other people can access this blog without it accessing my whole google run everything. Does anyone know how? I haven't looked it up yet... I kind of want someone to just tell me how or do it for me.

lets share

I would like to add two bookmark sections on here. One will be our blogs, tumblrs, pintrest boards, whatever else people do etc... The other can be blogs/art pages/online comics/websites we like.
