Have a look at these photos I took today at
Usurp Gallery's zine fair in Harrow, London. Great people, fabulous zines, cute location and terrific food made by volunteers.
This is the back view of the gallery, I was outside at the bottom of the 'garden' in a large, brightly lit summerhouse type building. It was well attended, with about twelve tables in all, and the variety of zines available was excellent. I had a happy browse and bought postcards, zines, badges and art work. Occasionally I ran back to my own table to sell the odd colouring book or issue of Any Old Iron.
These guys are The Gym: check out their
twitter and
tumblr. They do beautiful posters (On 200 GSM! Whoa! You kind of had to be there), as well as zines, a hand stamp, and other lovely print based products. I bought one of their notebooks, and had a great chat with them. Thanks GYM for good conversation and great zines.
My table: messy as usual. You can see, if you squint, my new wordsearch promotion postcards, my brown Thinking Notebook for zine ideas (I just love notebooks) and my join the dots sheets.
Such a great day, thank you Rachel and Rose for organising and for stocking my zines. I will definitely be going back, and it has inspired me in my tentative goal to organise something similar in Peterborough. Watch this space. As ever, if you want to swap zines with me then contact me for info, or visit my
shop to contribute to my teabag fund.
Hello there! Long time no see or hear! Mind you that could be that I have been off-line while my server decided to upgrade their webmail platform without notice! Definite shock to the system that was, I can tell you!
ReplyDeleteLook forward to hearing what you've been up with those featured in this post! Meanwhile, hope you're not working too hard!
Hi Hannah,
ReplyDeleteIt was so great to meet you and see more of your work, we are sooo glad you made it to the fair.
Let us know if you get round to putting something on in Peterborough, we'll definitely help in any way possible.
Rachel
