ALAS_ICANNOTSWIM CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

I was so happy this morning to see that Alas_ICannotSwim have regrouped and started taking submissions for a new issue! If you've not seen or heard of the girls or their zine before then check out @alasfanzine on twitter and this link for the last issue. Here's what Rosie and Katy have to say about the new issue ...

"We're 100% back, we're gradually trying to gather work together from people at the minute so we can start to create something exciting. Katy and myself have teamed up all the way from Toronto, Canada (Katy) to Newcastle, Uk (myself) which we're very happy about!! We're still after the same things as we always were, we're not changing our ethic, we're just looking for passionate people to send anything in - we're pretty flexible!! We're still after anything you can put on paper. If you could include in the post: 'Calling all poets, writers, sketchers, illustrators, activists, doodlers, mentalists, photographers, heartbreakers, and trouble makers - all contributions welcome!' And the also the email address alas_icannotswim@hotmail.co.uk to send things in to. There's no theme for this issue we're just celebrating being up and alive again!!"
 

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR????? 

GET CREATIVE!

The Silent Killer

Well, it's that time of the week again when I let you have sneak peak of an image from That's Logic.



This week is the turn of the lovely digital artist, Tigz Rice.

I had to chase her to get this image from her, but I think it was well worth it!

I love the inky watery effect on this.

Tigz's latest picture book 'Bitten' is out August 7th 2010, and you can pre-order your copy now! Or you could buy me one for my birthday as I am somewhat short of pennies at the moment :)


Check out Tigz at www.tigzrice.com to keep up with all her projects
 or go chat to her on twitter at http://twitter.com/Tigzy - she doesn't bite that much!

Blast From The Past and How It All Began....

I'm sorting through some of my old work on Flickr and I've just come across some work from my final major project from last year. I made a typographic book of poems from both 'Alice in Wonderland' books.  I called it 'That's Logic'.

I called it 'That's Logic' because Tweedledee and Tweedledum say it quite a few times and well to be fair, there's no logic anywhere in the books and neither was there in my book.

I was going to re-do my book but never got the time to do so, so gave the name to this 'zine instead!

Here's the logo and what would have been the front cover if it had have been bound differently.

Check out my flickr page to see some of the original works that went into that book. Maybe one day i will re-visit them properly and make the book all over again, or even put some of the pieces in a zine....

The Face Of Issue #1

A massive thank you goes to Richard Gladman and Lou Taylor for this beautiful front cover.

I believe this was the first time they had collaborated and it has led to more opportunities to do so. Check out the Creative Boom Brighton banner celebrating it's birthday with more tasty papery cakes.

For more of their individual works visit

Richard Gladman or email him at hello [at] richardgladman.co.uk

Lou Taylor or email her at lou [at] lou-taylor.co.uk


Can't wait to see future projects from them both!
Thanks guys! :)
