DIY Zine Display// Linework NW Haul

Alex built a freakin fabulous zine display. It helps us read the newest zines and comics we pick up instead of just letting them lie in a pile, collecting dust, or shelved away never to be seen again. I love having the artwork displayed in our living room/kitchen. Love seeing the work of our friends all the time. All of these books we picked up from the 2nd annual Linework NW ! Great haul.

WE LOVED THIS SHOW! HOLY SHIT!!!

ANA BENAROYA

"I also have always felt like the American identity was a hyper-masculine one – something that I am not and can never be. To me, sports also embody this hyper-masculinity. I put two and two together and thought that this could be a good concept for a show – hence the title “American Heroes”. Through the depiction of different athletes and images of aggression and sexuality – I hoped to explore the concept of the identity of the “American Hero” – and why we idolize who and what we idolize."

The Spritely Bean: SE Portland Comic Cafe

A new little cafe just opened up off SE Powell Blvd. They have a lovely curated comic and zine shop in the back. Super kid friendly. Very down to earth. We have some Eyeball Burp zines there on consignment. It's our new favorite place to hang out and draw a bit.
