So I used to organize the Portland Zine Symposium, but I didn't this year or last year. But I went on Sunday, and checked out all the tables...
I really liked some other etsy sellers who I met there: Aijung Kim and SomaVenus. I also appreciated SteamPunk Magazine's Guide to Surviving the Apocalypse. It had a lot of practical suggestions on how to build a house out of old tires filled with gravel and so on. Which sounds like I'm making fun, but actually, I really want to make a planter out of a big pole with paint cans of soil hanging from it.
A fun thing about the Zine Symposium was that I traded my cards for a lot of zines, and almost everyone had seen my cards before--either on etsy, or at a friend's house taped to the fridge, or in a store, or at last year's Zine Symposium. I felt famous.
Coming soon: on Tuesday, October 13th, I will be leading a Gocco workshop at the IPRC. Sign up now!

Gocco Workshops from Half Empty Press
Hello Portland Friends:
Did you know I'm quitting my full-time job on June 14th to spend the summer having fun and spending more time on art? As part of this, I'll be offering more than my usual quota of Print Gocco classes. Print Gocco is a magical, amazing, simple printmaking method using a Japanese-designed machine that creates mini silkscreens AND acts as a tiny printing press. It's tons of fun and many of my cards are made with this method.
I'm doing Gocco workshop at Muse Art & Design on Hawthorne on Sunday, June 15th, if anyone's interested or has a friend who wants to go...it's $35, 2 hours, limited to six participants, and everyone gets to make their own Gocco screen. It's going to be cool, especially because it's three blocks from my house. And another 2-hour Basic Gocco workshop at the IPRC later on this summer...it looks like it will be Wednesday, June 25th, in the evening--$20 IPRC members, $30 non-members. Both of them also have an $8 materials fee.
Be there?
