Zineopolis visits Hastings

It was great to meet all the new Illustration for Screen Art  and Graphic Design for Digital Media degree students at the University of Brighton's Hastings Campus on Monday!

I took a selection of lovely zines from the Zineopolis Art-Zine collection and gave a lecture about the collection and how we define an 'Art-Zine'.
In the afternoon I ran a workshop with Paul Burgess (their Course Leader) and we explored the idea of 'GOOD and BAD' through a folded-sheet zine workshop. Here are some images of the day.

NEW Thematic Compilation - 'Computers, Apps and Smartphones'

I've put together a thematic compilation, from all the previous issues of Future Fantasteek!, about our relationship with technology. Computers, Apps and Smartphones celebrates our miserable incompetence in the face of computer error messages, incomprehensible alert boxes and smart phone requests about their operating systems - that we simply can't help them with.

Available as an Online Book only at the moment, but I may make a print version later.

I'm also writing a paper about this thematic compilation that will be available here when it's finally finished.
