BAJAI Kulture Issue No. 1

Paging:

"...That's what Bajai Kulture is and has always been about; it's that rebel spirit that lies dormant in all of us, until we realize that in a 360 degree world no matter where we are there's always someone opposite (or opposing) us as we are opposing them."

Reality Ranch Issue No. 5

Paging:

50 pp

Description:

“Previous issues of Reality Ranch have explored exciting themes such as drinking. This time, Reality Ranch turns its humorous and satirical focus on the production of comedy scripts. Issue #5 includes video scripts (designed to be made into short films), sketch scripts (designed to be performed live on stage), and audio scripts (designed to be listed to with ears). As a special added bonus is a four-page roller derby comic starring Portland Oregon’s Rose City Rollers in a story entitled “Don’t Lose Your Head.” The story is about a blocker named Dee-Cap-A-Skater who delivers one especially fierce shoulder check.”

Nescio Translated by Sam de Groot and Ian Adams

Title:

Little Titans

Paging:

55 pp

Description:

“Nescio (Latin for ‘I don’t know’, pseudonym of J. H. F. Gronloh, 1882-1961) is one of the best Dutch writers of the 20th Century, but sadly unavailable in English – until now! This edition offers a translation of Nescio’s classic 1915 novella ‘Titaantjes’.
‘Little Titans’ is set in Amsterdam around 1900 and deals with a group of ‘boys-but nice boys’ who are discontent with just about everything. Their bosses control their time, girls are always out of reach, the sun refuses to be painted, and the God they’re hoping for never comes. Full of youthful bravado, they plot to change the world once and for all – only to fail before even starting. The book is a hard but compassionate look at the inevitable loss of the idealism and hope of youth. With Nescio’s subtle sense of humor and keen eye for minute detail, the book is still fresh and relevant, 93 years after its first publication. Translated by Sam de Groot and Ian Adams, distributed by True True True Amsterdam at a non-profit price. 5.5” X 3.5”, 68 pages, mimeographed in sky-blue on high quality paper, sewn and glued with cover.”

Where Cyberspace Meets Space For Cream

Paging:

101 pp

Description:

From the best selling author of Please Let Me Help , Zack Sternwalker comes to the rescue once again with a series of letters to celebrities, corporations, and countries. It seems this time life is on the up and up as Sternwalker, “rustles up some money for [a] brilliant new concept café” and discusses some screenplay projects.

“Dear Colgate Toothpaste, I would like to begin by apologizing for what happened to your dogs. As I stated in the police report, I was merely walking around looking for a guy named Vance. I had no intention of doing what I did (maybe you could send me a note letting me know if they were able to reattach the big one's tail). Even though our last collaboration turned sour, I wonder if you'd be willing to try again. Please let me explain . . .”

Statistical Analysis of the Things that Don't Matter and Everything Else.

Paging:

18 pp

Description:

"Statistical Analysis of Everything that Happens But Does Not Matter,
and everything else. Written by artist and maker of pleasant things
Sarah McNeil, this zine demonstrates a 'logical' and novel way of
recording the thoughts, feelings and happenings of everyday life.
Using hand-drawn pie charts, line and bar graphs, nodal diagrams and
more, Sarah records such things as the types of animals she has been
bitten by, the consistency of the apple juice stain on her shirt, as
well as a detailed graphical inqury into the cats who have slept
together in her neighborhood (how she knows this, no-one dares to
ask).

Each zine is comes with a different pie chart drawn in pencil by
Sarah, so no two of the zines are completely alike."

Nightly Zine Issue #1

Paging:

23 pp

Description:

Nightly Zine is a half-size DIY/perzine by Rupa Nolan.

The zine consists of fiction, humourous how-to tips along with brief essays and observations. Released by the independent publishing house Glass Jar Project Publications in the winter of 2007, it will continue as a quarterly publication. The first issue, 'The House Warming Issue' is printed in black and white and finished in leather and ribbon. Appealing to anyone who has lived in an house or an apartment, or who knows someone who has. Finding an audience of social mis-fits, drunk house-wives and kareoke addicts, the zine offers potentially impractical how-to advice, as well as art, general scribblings and observations from dark and personal places.

Nightly zine began in South Korea, created by a British born editor, Rupa Nolan. It reflects feelings of displacement, confusion, loneliness and happiness. Born out of Journal Anon, an online anonymous art project, Nightly Zine is a credited hard copy of concept over practicality.

Retarded Sentimental - A Treatise on Time Travel Through Translucency

Paging:

10 pp

Description:

Collection of writing, artwork, and original watercolors by Tommy Rayburn.

“Like a hollow skin, translucent materials let the viewer pass through their space and in to those beyond. It is a belief in their powers of immateriality that allow one to become immaterial; it is as if by covering objects with them gives them the power to transcend also. “Drink to forget” They are ghostlike; Patterned bedroom sheets pressed firmly against our bodies to travel as phantoms in sleep.
A piece of fiction functions similarly to a piece of scotch tape or a film negative when held up to the light. Both condensed and gelatinized by our memories and projections, which simultaneously fade through to the surroundings of the viewer. The translucent medium, which causes a sort of ectoplasmic entropy, serves as ground zero for disembodiment. Through them you can proceed through masses, through space, through time, and most significantly exist in more than one place at more than one time. This is where disorder becomes apparent; this is where order becomes an apparition

Super Issue #3

Description:

“This is issue three (3) of my mini comic SUPER!

Issue (3) is put together similar to issue number two. A sixteen page mini, this time bound with a rubber band, that comes packed in an envelope with two buttons and two stickers.

The comic starts with the cover on the envelope. This gets you into the comic with the first page of the mini. The buttons are both also taken this time from the issue.

This issue came out really great. The themes from the first two issues are all represented. Ranging from love to war, loss and love, humor and sadness issue (3) is packed. This issue moves things forward well.

SUPER Issue (3) Fun Pack

Paging:

Various

Description:

“This is the Fun Pack edition of the third issue of my mini comic SUPER!

The Fun Pack comes with the sixteen page third issue and the two buttons that come with the regular version. Additionally this edition comes with a gocco printed cover that was done on kraft paper. Also within the pack you get a print, titled "Dirty", that is on one of three colors of card stock. You also get a third button, which happens to be my favorite one. My favorite part though is the sculpture of a cigarette, called a place holder, that comes wrapped in plastic wrap. These turned out beautifully and truly look good enough to eat. Trust me, they are not edible! All of this comes in a ploy bag that is closed with a card stock top closure each of which are hand drawn and than stapled. Plus you get two more stickers just to balance things out.

The third issue came out really great. The themes from the first two issues are all represented. Ranging from love to war, loss and love, humor and sadness issue (3) is packed. This issue moves things forward well. The Fun Pack and the items included bring the whole experience together. I will be making more issues like this in the future.

Please take a look athe the Issue (3) listing to see more of the comic.

Coordinates

Paging:

68 pp

Description:

"In the digital age, as mass culture continues to homogenize our surroundings, one could argue that, in a sense, location is coming to mean less and less. Yet it is largely our location that determines the experiences that shape our lives and our perspective on it. And we, in turn, collectively shape these very same locations, whether we are doing it consciously or unconsciously. It is clear that people and their locations are inextricably linked, but what exactly is our relationship to these places we inhabit? What determines why we stay located in a given place or move to another? More importantly, what do these locations mean to us? This zine was made in an effort to answer some of these questions and raise awareness of the role that our surroundings play in our lives." - John Allen - Lawrence, Kansas

The Faithful

Chapter One

Paging:

38 pages

Description:

Dan Hack zine printed entirely by Gestetner mimeograph with the exception of the covers, which were printed by the Heyer hectograph at the IPRC where Dan teaches a mimeograph workshop.

“The Faithful is a story of epic scope about simple people on a peculiar quest. Gerald is driven to appear on a popular family television game show. The fact that he does not even have a family is beside the point, his theory being that a family “ . . . constructed by the free choice of its members makes a hell of a lot more sense than one forced in to existence by bad statistics and some unfortunate breeding . . .” To this end Gerald sets out around the U.S., confident that he and his fellow “family members” will drift toward each other and this common destiny of television ( and unrequited kinship) by the raw power of human intuition, Mother Nature, and accidental geography. The Faithful is not merely about some charismatic drifter on a wandering tangent collecting co-conspirators in dead end pursuit of a crackpot Hollywood scheme, it is a multi-layered, distinctively textured chronicle of one man's search for a family he could never have, discovering (as so many have before him) that he can reinvent himself on the open road of the American West.”

Lil' Stevie Gets Punked – Hoop Dreams, Guns, and Punks.

Excerpt: “ Explain it to the police. I'm only nine and I don't do drugs or smoke cigarettes so I'm in way better shape than you. If you think I'm scared of you because you're an adult, you're wrong. My Dad's way bigger than you and when he left I shot him in the face with my gun and he was in the hospital for two months and now he's gotta wear a patch over his eye and can't drive or operate heavy machinery.”
