Zine Review #6 7/26/2010


Junk Pirate #13
Peter Glover

The first time I encountered Junk Pirate I remember saying to myself, “This costs only $1? How can this person even begin to cover costs and labor at that retail price?” I started thinking about other things I could purchase for $1 and came up with nothing that looked as interesting and engaging as this zine. You can’t even get on the bus for $1. Zines like this remind me of why I started making them in the first place. This project by Peter Glover is obviously a labor of love and for about $15.00 you can own the whole lot. To make it that much easier for you, Peter recently compiled the first 12 issues into a book. www.junkpirate.com

New Bohemia Signs Visit #2 7/20

You may remember my previous post here where I visited New Bohemia Signs.
I thought I would share some photos from my most recent visit there last week. It’s always Inspiring to stop buy New Bohemia.

cool book from the the 30s’ on typography Damon just picked up

Ken took me to the roof where we could see some old relics from another era of S.F. graffiti. I cant even think of where there is another Reminise horse left in the city? or a Kr?
