PDF of the Month: September 2012
As we’ve mentioned earlier, for our Rum Riot Press exhibition we invited about a dozen artists not normally associated with zine culture to design what we’re calling Printeresting’s Guide Zines, simple publications that explain how to do something. The subject is left to the creators and ranges from specific art making tips to the mundane. The zines are produced in a letter-size format that can be printed out from any desktop printer and then folded down into a booklet following simple instructions (see the gif below). The Printeresting Guide Zines will debut in hard copy at the Rum Riot Press exhibition, and then will be released, one per month, right here on Printeresting.
The third PGZ release is Christopher Wallace’s Guide to Sharpening Things! It’s September and school’s back in session for a lot of us so a guide to sharpening print tools seems useful. Time to get those tools ready to work! You can see more of Christopher’s work here.
