Snow, damn snow!

SYNDICATE PRODUCT 15 / COMING CLEAN!

Syndicate Product 15 /
COMING CLEAN!
32p / Digest / $3US

It is now available and it is AWESOME! (And I can finally relax!)

With Coming Clean, the Syndicate Product (nee Low Hug) "Life Maintenance Series" comes to an end. The series has spanned domesticity with zines about the laundry (Laundry Basket, 2002), grocery shopping (12 Items or Less, 2003), and cooking (Potluck!, 2004), so Coming Clean is a sensible conclusion.

Contributors include: KEN BAUSERT (The Ken Chronicles), STEPHEN BOJANOWSKI, DAVIDA GYPSY BREIER (Xerography Debt, Rigor Mortis), HEATHER BRYANT (American, Eh?), ANDREW COLTRIN (Look for Signage), VIOLET FOX, DELAINE DERRY GREEN (Not My Small Diary), AYUN HALLIDAY (East Village Inky), JULEIGH HOWARD HOBSON, ERIC LYDEN (Fish with Legs), JEN MCCLEARY, A.J. MICHEL, KRIS MININGER (Extranjero), CATHERINE PADUANI, PAISLEY THE CAT (Hey Pais), JASON PANKOKE (Micro-Film), ANDREW WALES (Eclectic Comics), JB WINTER (Izzy Challenge).

Off the Wagon

Damn, and I was really on a tear there for a while.

After completing National Blog Posting Month back in November (post every day for 30 days), I decided to see if I could continue daily posting until the end of 2009. I did, and then just kept going with daily posts into January.

Until January 8, that is. That's when I fell off the daily blogging wagon. There was no catastrophic reason. Around 11:45PM that night (after having my brain melted by DOLLHOUSE), I realized that I hadn't posted and just said to myself, "Meh, it was a good run".

However, I didn't mean to stop blogging for nearly two weeks. But I haven't been slacking, either.

I've been working on SYNDICATE PRODUCT 15, which is going to press this week! I've spent the past two weeks working on layout, proofreading, designing the covers, and getting it all in final form. The theme is COMING CLEAN, and features contributions from eighteen amazing writers and artists. It will be on sale in the Syndicate Product Etsy Shop in a few weeks, but here's a sneak peak at the cover.

Storefront worship

Is that a comment on the service or pricing?

Composite shot of an electronic sign on a Sprint kiosk spotted on the way to work. Yes, it was scrolling "Oh The Humanity", the phrase made famous by radio reporter Herbert Morrison's coverage of the Hindenberg disaster in 1937.

At least I think it was in reference to that. Maybe whoever programmed it was going for some sort of Jenny Holzer effect.
