About Me

dreamer, vegan, athiest

Right now I am most interested in zines, mail art, and imaginative exchanges. I am very open to private swaps and happy to meet new people!

[As a vegan, it is offensive to me to receive products made from animals. I also have little patience for bigotry of any kind.]

Music

I'm always up for hearing something new. I like a little bit of everything.

Some of the artists I like: Neil Young, Charles Mingus, Wayne Shorter, Nirvana, Joy Division, David Bowie, The Pogues, Led Zeppelin, Arnold Bax, Type O Negative, Bruce Springsteen, Van Morrison, Jeff Buckley, The Cranberries, John Coltrane, Keb' Mo', Tab Benoit, Muddy Waters, Kate Bush, Type O Negative, Thelonius Monk, Eddie Harris, John Zorn, Belle & Sebastian, Danzig, Dinosaur Jr., Aphex Twin, Burzum

Literature

I enjoy a variety and will give any genre/author a shot!

Some I have particularly enjoyed:

Books: Jellicoe Road, Saving Francesca, The Piper's Son, Slaughterhouse Five, Tender Morsels, Infinite Jest, A Clockwork Orange, Wuthering Heights, The Road, The Lorax, Hunger Games trilogy

Authors: David Foster Wallace, Melina Marchetta, H.P. Lovecraft, Joyce Carol Oates, Grimm Brothers, Emily & Anne Bronte

Fairy Tale Related (not just written word): I love the original Grimms' Tales and in general old tales and fables. (I will soon list a couple of my favorite tales here) I also enjoy modern retellings, such as Tender Morsels (Margo Lanagan) and Briar Rose (Jane Yolen). The Storyteller series (T.V.) by Jim Henson is incredible, the fairy tales more than the Greek. Into the Woods is a fun collaboration of tales, though I am not as in to musicals as I once was, but I like the addition of the horrific side of the tales and continuing unhappy endings. As a kid I loved the tale of Beauty and the Beast (not Disney).

Movies & T.V.

The Labyrinth, First Blood (Rambo), Dark Crystal, Almost Famous, Antichrist, Empire Records - also have a weakness for various Jane Austen and Bronte sisters adaptations, I watched many of these growing up

Directors: David Lynch, Werner Herzog, Jim Henson, Lars von Trier

Old T.V. w/o converter box, so these are watched via DVD: The Wire, Treme, True Blood, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, The X-Files, Millennium, The Storyteller, Battlestar Galactica

Unless a swap is profile specific, please feel free to express yourself however you like! I love to see what others create and to learn new techniques.

Group stuff: I love being in groups that have great swaps and/or great forum action and try to be active in the groups I have joined. If a group has died or my participation is low to nonexistent I will not stick around, but may keep it in mind if something changes.

Comment: How festive for the season! I love the colors and images; they make me feel like summer :) And the bembeirau (not sure if I spelled that correctly) is well-loved. Have to keep the youngest family member from putting it around his neck and toting it around the house and the second to youngest from attempting to accompany her Katie Perry with it :)
Response: :) Fantastic!!

Comment: Cute zine! Thanks very much for the eye candy. I love your idea of putting tracing paper over the monthly tab template. And I'd never heard of tipping-in pages. :)
Response: Thanks! I've been looking for ways to add a bit of variety. ;) You know, I've been thinking about adding an open-themed zine swap in the group that would include a tip-in. I think I'll make this happen. ;)
