I attended Zine Dream on Aug. 25 in Toronto, a small craft fair with over 40 local artists and zinesters. I was tipped off by Ginette Lapalme because on Threadless she had blogged about setting up a booth to sell her awesome zine among other things.
Anyway, there was a lot of cool stuff on display as you'll see in the photos and most of it was dirt cheap. I bought a bunch of things, some of which I've posted, and then afterwards went out for a drink with Ginette and her boyfriend, Stefan. Really had fun hanging out with them! I apologize for some of these being blurry, but it was very low-light and I never use a flash. ![]() Ginette's table - ![]() Zine loot. The buttons were a steal at $1 each, I just bought the whole set including the felt cloud. Her zine "Mimiko in Dream-Land is" is awesome. Check out her Flickr page if you want to see more of it!

My brother Eric (aka opifan64) got his shipment of 12 month club tees with his design "The Clockwork Menagerie" in the mail today. I'm not part of the 12 month club so he was kind enough to give me one. It's sort of a shame this wasn't printed as a regular tee because I think it would have sold really well. Anyway, Threadless did a fantastic job with the printing and I'm so glad they chose the burgundy tee, it looks suitably opulent and gorgeous!
I've been involved in two exciting, awesome collab projects!
Isaboa's "Monster Mash" collab and Montro's UFO select tee collab. Can't wait to get my monster mash tee and stickers... ![]() My design for the Monster Mash, the monster's eyes and it's ghost in glow ink: ![]() Turn out the lights and voila! and for Montro's UFO select collab: ![]() |
