Tomorrow (Saturday) at West St. Pete Community Library 11am-3pm. Full list of participating zinesters: https://www.printstpete.org/spzf. There’s one other Sarasota zine maker on the list who I’ve never met or even heard of. His zine is called “Fast Food Legend” and he seems hilarious.

She's done! Looks way better in print, but I've got the digital flipbook version linked in my blog. If you read it, I'd love it if you left a comment afterward.

A recent Ringling College film school graduate got in touch with me asking to take photos to fortify her portfolio. Aside from the usual headshots, she took very cool photos of random things in my studio that I thought it would be fun to share, to give an inside view of my workspace.
