Faunacopia

It's finally here! I'm so excited to show you. After three months of incredibly hard work, Paint Shop Pro (yes, yes I'm old school preferring PSP 7 to Photoshop...) crashes, some very sad memories, and some beautiful submissions...it's here.

I'm incredibly proud to present my animal zine. Faunacopia.



If you have problems with viewing the embedded zine, you can read it here: Faunacopia

Pretty please leave comments and let me know what you think. Its been incredibly hard work for me, and my contributors, so any feedback is VERY gladly received. 

Massive thanks to everyone who submitted an article. I hope you all enjoy the magazine!

Pie Chart o' The Week

Here's a (mostly) accurate depiction of how I have been spending the last week or so.


I've also been working on the last few pieces in the Animal zine. If you have a piece outstanding, or would like to contribute, there's still time. The zine will (hopefully!) be published on July 31st. I can't wait to share some of the beautiful stories that people have sent in!

Animal Zine Update

I'm currently working on compiling a zine about animals. I want it to be full of personal experiences, whether it's a memory of a childhood pet, what your favourite animal is and why, or why you really love ferrets. 

So, if you can spare a little time to share an article or illustration - or even five minutes just to share a short anecdote or well-loved memory, then I would love to hear from you. Happy, or sad. New or old. It doesn't matter. As long as it features an animal of some kind, I want to hear it!

I want to build a memoir that shows the impact that animals have on our lives, and why we love them so much, and I need your help to do it!

The zine has some really brilliant contributions so far, and will assembled around the end of July - I'd love to see some further submissions!!

If you're interested then drop me an email as catface85@gmail.com and we can have a chat!
