Yup, we’ve just had our first experience of the Portland Zine Symposium. It went great.
We arrived on Wednesday, and had a great talk at Reading Frenzy in downtown Portland. We’re off up north in the next couple of days to talk in Seattle and Olympia, then in San Fransisco for the Zine Fest next weekend.
We’re also keeping a blog at www.lasthours.org.uk
Hey everyone, it’s only one month till we’re off on our adventures around the USA. The posters are off at the printers and they’ll be off around the country in the next couple of days. If you can’t wait to see them you can check out the poster below in the publicity section.
This week we’ll get all the dates confirmed, with a couple of additions to the itinerary. Stay tuned to the website for more info, or you can join our Zines on Toast facebook group.
Alex Wrekk has been creating the zine Brainscan since 1997, which is in its 26th issue. She is also the author of the DIY zine resource book Stolen Sharpie Revolution. Alex lives in Portland, Oregon in a century old home with her partner Paul where she enjoys vegan cooking, gardening, bicycle riding and drinking and brewing fine craft beer. Alex run Small Wordd Buttons and makes custom 1? & 1.25? buttons for people and projects. She volunteers her time with various self publishing related projects including the Independent Publishing Resource Center and is a long time organizer of the Portland Zine Symposium. Alex went on a UK zine tour in 2009 and somehow convinced the people she met to visit the US this year!
Isy has been making comic zines since 1997 from her home in Brighton, UK. Originally from South Korea and Germany, she has worked on various other zines, booklets, and the Last Hours zine and website, and co-authored the vegan cookbook, ‘Another dinner is possible’. She’s been involved in setting up the Cowley Club (a co-operative social centre in Brighton), the Anarchist Teapot mobile kitchen, prisoner support, and anarchafeminist and many other projects. She tries her best to live true to the values she holds dear such as autonomy, mutual aid, cooperation, real community and contributing to the downfall of the existing order. She likes cake and hitting things.
Edd is a radical illustrator based in London, who draws under the moniker Hey Monkey Riot. He started writing punk zines in 2001, first with Rancid News, and more recently Last Hours. He has been active in London political organising since 2002 focusing on social centre projects and anti-war activities. He helped start the London Zine Symposium in 2005 to try and grow the zine community. He likes ginger beer and salt and vinegar crisps.
Steve Larder is an illustrator based in Nottingham. His zine, ‘Rum Lad’ is his primary output, which is generally filled with illustrations and musings of his peers and surroundings. He is a regular contributor to other publications such as Last Hours, Subtext and Razorcake as well as numerous other projects. He has played in various punk rock bands since he was 16 and currently makes a racket with ‘Moloch’ who are embarking on a Summer ‘10 west coast US tour. He has an interest in documenting small town culture, (being from one himself), in an effort to preserve their idiosyncrasies and localisms.
Tom Fiction developed an interest in DIY, anarchist and punk culture in his mid-teens, played in several bands and wrote a handfull of zines. In 2007 he became involved with Last Hours, a group of anti-authoritarians, collectivly publishing several books and running http://www.lasthours.org.uk as a resource for creative resistance. He has a keen affection for developing autonomous forms of living, living healthily and the countryside. He probably likes books and bikes a little bit to much.
Natalie is an anarcha-feminist from London. In 2003 she helped set up the Black Star Collective, which squatted empty buildings in London putting on radical events and punk shows. Since then she has been involved with zine projects – including starting the London Zine Symposium – and other political events. She likes making (and eating!) vegan choc-chip cookies.
