ZINE BOMB - a double-sided mini zine for guerilla craftivists!
Description
First there was seed bombing, then came yarnbombing. Now, with the advent of zinebombing, it is time to unleash a whole new kind of guerilla art/craft/writing on an unsuspecting public!
The Zine Bomb mini zine provides a basic introduction to writing your own mini-zine (re-fold the zine inside out for a mini-zine folding guide tutorial, with diagrams), plus tips on guerilla distribution methods. Craftivism is the latest crafting buzzword, with high profile names such as Betsy Greer and Keri Smith leading the way. Now it's YOUR turn to get your ideas out into the world!
The Zine Bomb was one of my very first mini-zines, written back in in 2009. It has previously only been available to members of the TangleClub. The Zine Bomb is printed on 100gsm recycled paper and measures approx. 7.5 x 10.5cm. Constructed using the standard fold-and-cut method, the mini-zine is 8 pages long BUT is printed on both sides so can be opened out & re-folded to reveal a 2nd 8-page mini-zine on the reverse. Twice the fun!
Inspiration
My inspiration was the guerilla craft movement (/craft activism) and creatives such as Keri Smith. Although I love the concept of seedbombing and yarn bombing they aren't really for me: I'm all about the words! And I figured there are other people out there who might find zines the perfect platform for them, too. I think writing zines is one of the most easily adaptable ways of getting a message 'out there' - although my own message is the somewhat meta message of 'get your message out there'! ;)
