Static. It was nothing but it moved and made a noise. I watched it for a while. I watched it for a long time. There was something sad about it. It didn’t have a story. — Dawn, by Richard Siken image
Does anyone have experience making zines and stickers at home? Is there a printer you’d recommend? I’m currently eyeing an Epson EcoTank (the ET-8550 A3, specifically). I’ll also need a cutting machine (Cricut Maker?) and a laminator, but I want to focus on the printer first 😅
Zzzaaaaap! This supercharged computer chip became the icon for my 'Voltage Spike!' Patreon tier. image
I want to make more printed stuff: more zines, more stickers, more art prints. I want to make them myself, fold the paper, staple the centers and trim the edges, and experiment with different kinds of paper, formats and bindings. I think I'll buy my own printer and machines that can cut and laminate. I'll sell some bitcoin for it. A weird little print studio, maybe?
I haven't been drawing much since I finished The NoGood Book. Instead, I've been thinking about what's next. During the two years it took to complete the book I realised I want to open up more. About my work and about myself as well. For me, that's a pretty scary thing to do, and I don't exactly know how I'll manage, but I want a place where I can share more about the process and thinking behind my illustrations, look back on finished projects and talk about my obsessions shaping the new ones. So, I quietly launched a Patreon last month. For now, I’m still figuring out what I want it to become, but you're welcome to follow along as it develops.
