Zine Events
May 20th, 2008, 6-7:30pm: Zine Social
Come on down to Central Library for the zine event of 2008! We'll all be hanging out in the Periodicals room on the second floor, rubbing elbows with fellow zinesters and partaking in light refreshments. You can pick up a copy of the latest edition of PDX Zines, and peruse the new and exciting titles recently added to the library's ever-expanding zine collection (which is now available in three more neighborhood libraries). Be there!
May 31st, 2008, 2-4pm: Zine Writing Workshop
Making Friends the Old Fashioned Way: Through Self Publishing! In this two hour long workshop at Central Library, participants will be introduced to the what, how and whys of self publishing with local comic artist and zine maven Nicole J. Georges. Focusing in particular on personal zines and diary comics, participants will review examples and get to work on their own personal comic, the beginnings of which will be photocopied and handed out at the end of the day!
Nicole J. Georges has been self publishing for over thirteen years, eight of which have been spent teaching adults, children and seniors the magic of this artform. Her autobiographical comic zine Invincible Summer, has been released as two anthologies through Microcosm Publishing and Tugboat Press. Nicole is most proud of being voted Miss Specs Appeal 2006 by hey four eyes! zine.
