Taylor Swift - standing on the shoulders of giants #croydon youtu.be/QA9IQycyMX4?...

The story of my glam punk daze 30 years ago this year! Article published 2022. repeatfanzine.wordpress.com/2022/03/17/a...

She (Taylor, not Hayley) found out about Croydon Spaceport and started pestering us for a load of freebies, saying it'd be "great exposure". We sent her away with a flea in her ear.

Launch party with @katrionachapman.bsky.social for The Pass from @fantagraphics.bsky.social is tonight, 7pm!!

A lot of our reposts are from our amazing gang of Colossive Cartographers. If you want to keep up with the marvellous things they're doing, here's our starter pack (And if you're on here and we've somehow missed you, pls let us know) bsky.app/starter-pack...

You might have noticed that it's #BandcampFriday* - so there's no better time to pick up THE CROYDON SPACEPORT TAPES, either physical or digital, from the tireless sonic researchers over at @tcfsr.bsky.social tcfsr.bandcamp.com/album/the-cr... *BC waive their cut so every penny goes to the artist

Colossive Cartography / Spooned and Bladdered by @colossive.com & @bubblegumzines.bsky.social (zine / game) Just in time for a beer festival on Friday 🎲 🍻 #GeekPost #zine #boardgames #Spoons

In 2013, former Sussex Lancers - a group of gay bikers - BURNED their official archive because they thought nobody would be interested. 😱 Thankfully, @alfleflo.bsky.social has pieced together their amazing story and turned it into a #zine. Buy it at bit.ly/sussexlancerszine #lgbthistorymonth

Gosh! An epic afternoon of folding and sticking for a nice big order from one of our favourite shops…

Use the materials you're hoarding. Use that cute pen, the fancy tape, one of the 40 notebooks. Draw with those alcohol markers before they dry up. Art materials are meant to be used, not gather dusts. "I'm afraid to waste it." Time spent using them = experience. And experience is never wasted.

Tbh, at this stage my zine output is a stress response directly proportional to the state of the world. Still, here's a small, creative win from a grim month. First 4 zines from - ko-fi.com/exzineeditor... Spooned & Bladdered from @colossive.com Closet zine - gone! #zines #minizine #zineart

We sent out our latest newsletter yesterday with details of TWO new #zines and some other stuff besides. I mean, you’d know that already if you subscribed. But if you don’t, you can read it all here: bit.ly/colossivejan2

NEW LAUNCH!

Tim has been with us since back in our photocopying zine days. He's a true UK comics great. If he was from somewhere with a better comics infrastructure then he'd be an obscenely rich megastar (maybe). You can get his work in a handy bundle here! averyhillpublishing.bigcartel.com/product/tim-...
