Eye Candy

Here are two photos that I just found of a few various Phantom Friends in their packaging, along with random Zine Packs.

The 100 Shot Zine Project #001

According to Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary, the definition of a zine is: "a noncommercial often homemade or online publication usually devoted to specialized and often unconventional subject matter."

I made my first zine in my sequential storytelling class while in college. Shortly after, I started working on The 100 Shot Zine Project. I was going to make one hundred different zines, varying in size, content, print runs, etc. Some were to be strictly type, some with only illustrations, some a combination of the two, some hand drawn, some computer generated, some fiction, some non-fiction, etc. The whole purpose of the project was for me to experiment, to learn, and to grow from.

My first zine was titled Pin. It was an illustrated reinterpretation of Pinocchio set in a dark, post-apocalyptic future. Each cover was hand stamped. I included a pair of stickers with every copy. The stickers were hand stamped by a rubber stamp which I had carved.

Blast from the Past

I just remembered that I had promised to post the Moji Mayhem Series about a bajillion years ago. Sorry about that. Well, here they are in all of their low-resolution glory. Enjoy!

By the way, can you guess what type of camera that girl is holding in the first image?
