Calling all Zinesters, Graphic Designers, and Authors: Exhibitor's tables are available at the upcoming EUZINE Fest 2018! The event will be held on Saturday, November 10th from 11am–6pm at the Wheeler Pavilion, Lane Events Center, Eugene, OR. We can't wait to see you there! Head on over to our REGISTRATION page for more information and to secure your spot!   1. Where are you currently based? Springfield! I live near Downtown Springfield and have a studio space where I work and teach art, in a great shared space above Sprout! Food hub. 2. How would you describe what you do? If you're an artist/collective, where do you get your ideas? If you are a distro/publisher, how do you find your artists? I call myself an illustrator, even when most of what I am working on is large scale painting or other personal work... I am always spurred to create by stories, or archetypes from stories... or even just the feelings left over from stories... so feel like my process is more similar to illustration work than anything else. I’m working on a series of fairytale illustrations at the moment that I’m really into right now. I am always chipping away at my long-term graphic novel project, The Micanopy Murders, of which the first issue is published and books two and three are deep in the works.  3. What is the last comic or zine you read? Adrian Tomine’s Killing and Dying 4. What do you like about zine/comics festivals? Seeing other artists and their work! Scrolling through work of artists I love from the comfort of my studio can only go so far, there’s nothing like seeing work in person and being surrounded by likeminded creators. 5. What are you most excited about that you'll have at EUZINE Fest? A platform to show my work, to see and be seen.   6. Do you have any upcoming projects or other events you'll be partaking in?
I’ll have a show up at Lincoln Gallery in December- it’s always fun and inspiring to have a venue to get my work out to. Elizabeth Blue Illustrations www.elizabethblueillustrations.com Instagram @feather.death.crown Facebook @elizabethbluec Twitter @elizabethblue_  1. Where are you currently based? I live and work in Seattle, specifically the Ballard neighborhood where my wife and I also co-operate a gallery and retail space for underground art. It’s called Push/Pull. 2. How would you describe what you do? If you're an artist/collective, where do you get your ideas? If you are a distro/publisher, how do you find your artists? I’m personally an illustrator who does a lot of pen and ink work with some watercolor. I really enjoy doing historical comics, the research and development is incredibly time consuming but I think it opens up a lot of new and interesting information for people who might not otherwise have the inclination to do academic research or read dry history books. and I’m also a tattoo artist learning the craft and trying to make a name for myself.  3. What is the last comic or zine you read? I’ve been re-reading some of Los Bros. Hernandez Love and Rockets, and on a more indie level, I’ve recently enjoyed my comrade David Lasky’s Manifesto Items series. Kate Lacour of New Orleans, and Fred Noland from Oakland are several favorite currently active underground comic artists of mine. 4. What do you like about zine/comics festivals? I like meeting new people and seeing what they are doing, building a network and getting inspired by their work. With our retail space I like that I’m able to offer the folks I meet a space where their work can possibly be seen by more people.  5. What are you most excited about that you'll have at EUZINE Fest?
I have a new book of illustrations I’ve been working on for the last 8 months, some of them have also been turned into multi-colored risograph art prints. 6. Do you have any upcoming projects or other events you'll be partaking in? I’m planning to get back into a series that I started in 2016 and have been working on off and on over the past year. It’s called Strange Sound and is a serial strip that re-surfaces possibly forgotten episodes in the history of the Puget Sound area. It’s a mix of non-traditional (radical) politics and true crime, but all taken from factual history.  1. Where are you currently based? Corvallis OR. 2. How would you describe what you do? If you're an artist/collective, where do you get your ideas? If you are a distro/publisher, how do you find your artists? Dingbat! is a punk cartoon zine with comics, stories, and activities. 3. What is the last comic or zine you read? Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors collections by Bongo.  4. What do you like about zine/comics festivals?
So many cool artists with unique takes on zines. You always leave more inspired than when you arrived. 5. What are you most excited about that you'll have at EUZINE Fest? Dingbat! #4, the newest issue, will debut this week at EUZINE fest! 6. Do you have any upcoming projects or other events you'll be partaking in? Dingbat #5! |
