NEW ZINE NEW ZINE IT IS DONE..

moikka, viime kerrasta taitaa olla taas hieman aikaa. ja syyhän tietty on zinenkirjoitus / teko. ei muuten mutta mulla oli hei deadline.. ja se valmistui ajoissa juuri menneelle viikonlopulle ja zinefesteille jee jee jee. nyt voi taas hyvällä omallatunnolla kirjoittaa ja ajatella jotain muutakin. kuten esimerkiksi bloggailua ha ha ha. 

hey it's been a while again. and that's cos i've been busy finishing my zine off. and yay i finished it in time for my self appointed deadline = last weekend, for zine fests and stuff yay. so now i can write and think about other things again in good conscience. like blogging and junk ha ha.

YOUR PRETTY FACE IS GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL #21 on muutosta ja kodista ja puutarhasta,

se on A6 kokoinen ja 40 sivua pitkä ja sen voi ostaa täältä.

YOUR PRETTY FACE IS GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL #21 is about moving. and i guess home and my garden and a quick update what's happened since last time i did a zine (last spring) it's a bit on the text heavier side than usual i guess maybe i don't know? it's the usual quarter (A6) size, 40 pages with minty green covers that match our walls and you can buy one via Vampire Sushi Distro, or i do (fair/equal) trades (just email me/comment/tweet me, whatever) OR you can get one from me in person at Northwest Zine Fest this saturday (May 30th) at the Star & Garter in Manchester.

i'll be sending off the pre-orders next week (along with any new orders) because i wanna come up with something nice extra to send along with the pre-order ones as a special extra thank you ♥ i'll also be adding a bunch of new stuff on the distro website next week, cos i got some lovely new stock for the zine fests (there was also diy cultures in london on sunday just gone) and i expect i'll pick up some new stuff in person while in manchester)

ja tähän loppukevennykseksi tämmönen 'pieni' instagram oksennus kun en sellaistakaan ole tehnyt pitkään aikaan...

and here's a 'little' instagram photodump to finish off cos it's been Months since i last did one and well, why not.
(i've got some plans for june, so i'm getting this shit out of the way.)

new zine pre-orders and general buy my stuff pls / mainos tauko.

[suomeksi lopussa tällä kertaa..]

so i've decided to do pre-orders for my new zine cos i'm broke and stuff... your pretty face is going straight to hell #21 is going to be about moving to our new home and sense of home and whatever. (i'm still working on it, ok?) it will be done by the end of may (in time for some zinefests = DIY Cultures in london and Northwest Zine Fest in manchester) you can help me out by paypalling me £3 to vampiresushidistro@gmail.com (preferably as a personal payment with your address in the notes.) EXCEPT if you're outside uk, it's £4.50 for europe or £5.30 for everywhere else. that's basicly the usual £2 + postage. (i can't help overseas postage is ridic expensive and my zines are so damn thick they are always large letter = over 5mm. though i guess i could help the thickness by making them shorter... except i don't wanna. at least not this time. i totally understand if non-uk folks wanna wait til it's on the distro website and get something else at the same time for combined p&p)

speaking of the distro i added a bunch of new stock the other day week.. a bunch of zines like: brown girl, elderflower #1, fanzine ynfytyn #22, here. in my head #14, here.in my head #15, i don’t bruise easily #1, i don’t bruise easily #2, i’m drawing a blank #2, mythologising me #9, rumlad #6/gadgie #31, rumlad #7, scratch that itch #4 and tempest in a teacup #7. and i made some 5" x 7" prints of some of my drawings, including new ones. they are £1 each, + postage.

i actually have two other brand new drawings (like i drew them this week) that i need to make prints of but i haven't had the chance to tidy up the scans yet (scanner why you so filthy? and why does any little speck of dirty show up real bad on prints even when not visible when viewing on photoshop??? ugh. actually some of the prints have some marks due to that reason. which is why they are £1 instead of £1.50 like i originally intended. no one will probably care / mind / notice but i know they're there and it's bugging me.) i also have some badges i've had in stock for ages, but haven't put up on the website for some reason. i just bring them along to zinefests. AND i have some crafty pursuits i wanna make to try to sell to you. gosh i'm gonna be busy if i wanna have all this stuff for the zine fests and finish that damn zine. it's pretty close to done. i have 30 whole pages all cut and pasted and ready to go. but unfortunately currently suffering ewwwy writer's block.

here's an honest moment: i would very much appreciate any orders. i'm kinda broke as heck, and it's making me very very anxious. i've been doing pretty well mental health wise but but but money worries have a tendency of not being good for me. i have a small pile of dresses i need to put up on facebook or depop or something, stuff that i don't wear anymore / for some reason. i'm even considering selling my blythe doll, but i have no idea what to ask for it though as it's a weird one, she doesn't have a scalp.. (also i kind of feel like i should ask my friend who gave the doll to me if it's ok, since it was a present.....) even some of my monster high dolls. anyway, i'm rambling. the point is i feel well awkward 'advertising' myself like this. but i would very much appreciate your help.

päätin tässä ottaa vastaan mun uuden zinen = your pretty face is going straight to hell #21 ennakkotilauksia. se on valmis toukokuun lopussa ja se 'kertoo' meidän muutosta ja kotihommeleista. se on suomeen £4.50 (noin 6,10 euroa) maksaa voi paypalilla osoitteeseen vampiresushidistro@gmail.com (mielellään personal paymenttinä ja osoite notes osioon) tai minun suomitilille (kysele asiasta sähköpostitse. postikulut ulkomaille ovat ankean kalliit, ymmärrän kyllä jos odotatte kunnon julkaisuun ja sitten voi ostaa distrosta jotain muuta samalla ja säästää postikuluissa. distrosta puheen ollen mie lisäsi tuossa yx viikko paljon lisää uusia zinejä jotka hankin jo maaliskuun sheffieldin reissulla mutta enpä saanut aikaiseksi. niin ja tein myös 18cm x 12½cm (5 x 7 tuumaa) kokoisia printtejä mun piirrustuksista, pari niistä on ihan uusia..

ja tämä on mainoksen loppu..

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!!!1

tänään on FREE COMIC BOOK DAY! ja nyt on jo varmaan vähän myöhä mennä paikalliseen sarjiskauppaan hakemaan fyysisiä ilmaisia sarjiksia mutta mutta mutta Comixologyn (digitaalinen sarjiskauppa) sivuilla on paljon hyviä ja jänniä sarjiksia ilmaiseksi tänään. mie luin aiemmin luin twitteristä että siellä on mm. Bitch Planet, The Wicked + The Divine ja Saga sarjojen ekat numerot tänään ilmaiseksi ja mie menin lataa. sieltä löytyi paljon kivaa. tili tietty pitää tehdä että saa mutta eivät ne kysyneet muuta kuin sähköposti osoitteen ja synttärit ja käyttäjänimi ja salasana piti keksiä. korttitietoja yms kysytään varmaan sitten kun ostetaan digisarjiksia jotka maksaa rahaa. 'ostetut' sarjakuvat menevät 'My Books' osioon ikuisesti (olettaisin) ja niitä saa sieltä sitten lueskella koneen tai puhelimessa comixology appin kautta (mulla ei oo puhelimen sisäisellä muistilla tarpeeksi tilaa niin en oo vielä kokeillut sitä) ja suurimman osan kirjoista voi myös tallentaa pdf tai cbz muodossa koneelle tjsp.

it's FREE COMIC BOOK DAY! it's probably a bit late now to pop into your local comic book shop and get yourself some physical free comics but but but Comixology (digital comic book shop) has lots of awesome free comics to download today! i read on twitter earlier that they have issue ones of Bitch Planet, The Wicked + The Divine and Saga on there for free today so i went there and went a bit wrong; i've got 49 comics in 'my books'. all you have to do is make an account (all they want is your email address & birthday and you have to come up with a username & password. i guess they ask for your card details etc when you actually buy a comic that costs £££?) your 'purchased' books go into 'My Books' forever (i assume?) and you can read them via the website or via app on your phone/tablet/whatever (i havent got enough space on my phone's internal memory for another app so i haven't tried it yet) and most of the books you can also download in pdf or cbz form to keep on your computer or w/e.

tässä hieman minun suosituksiani / mitä mie 'ostin'... /// here's some of my recommendations / what i got....

(btw joitakin ilmasia hyviä ei näkyny tuolla ^ ilmaisten listalla, niitä piti ihan oikeasti hakea, joka oli vähän harmillista, mutta nimeä hakemalla löytyi. suurin osa tuon free comics osion sarjikset taitaa olla aina ilmaisia. olisi ollut mukava jos jossain ois ollu erityinen FCBD sivu/osio mutta joo. senhän takia mie nuo mun lempparit linkitin! niin ja comixlogy.eu on sama sivu euroissa)

(btw i couldn't actually find some of the free goodies on the 'free comics' page, which was kinda annoying but when i searched for the title (like Bitch Planet or Rat Queens, they were easially found. i think most of the ones on the free comics page are free all the time actually. it would have been nice if there were like a page for all the FCBD offers for easy access but yeah. worth the trouble, but that's why i've linked some of my faves/the ones im most intrigued by. oh yeah and btw comixology.com is the same page in us dollars and .eu is in euros. you can use the same login.)
