I had a stall at a Melbourne zine day some years ago. The zine scene had a big setback with Covid lockdowns and moved on-line. It is good to see that cartoonist, Danny Zemp, is organizing, with the help of a government grant, a free two day event at the end of this month. There will be over 70 stall-holders.
It is worth keeping in mid tat the famous Healseville Sanctuary is close at hand.

For those who don't know, zines are small, usually A5 booklets, sometimes made on a single folded and cut piece of paper, other times stapled about any theme. They can consist of poems, thoughts, experiences or/and art work.
I'll be there with framed prints of my art and also the odd original framed work. I'll also have my sketchbooks for perusal and the various zines I have made. I expect to find plenty of material there for my next art work and I'll be drawing on the spot.
My own zines have been mini stapled comics or collections of my art work. I am currently producing zines on various themes such as my cat, comic strips, Sunday market, places I have visited, and so on.
