A ‘Zine

29 Wednesday Jul 2020

I spent most of yesterday making this ‘zine. And it was one of the most fun days I’ve had in awhile.

I found some sketchbooks from 2010 and picked out drawings that I haven’t shown before (though I realize now that one or two of them might be in The Art of Silliness).

I made 100 and there are about 20 left over at etsy… here is the info:

• 4.25″ wide x 5.5″ tall, 16 pages.

• Photocopied on cheap paper… you can see through it!

• Folded and stapled.

• 16 sketchbook pages that I’m pretty sure aren’t in any of my books or I haven’t shown for whatever reason.

• Limited edition of 100 (because I know myself, I will get bored after doing 100).

• A mini hand-drawn bird or fish on watercolor paper, stapled in (to justify the $5 cost of this little DIY zine). Size: 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″. I have made them and stapled them in… you will receive a surprise bird or fish!

• Sent via a plastic envelope with some goodies!

I’ve made many ‘zines in the past, but this is the first time in a LONG time that I’ve taken the time to make one!

P.S. We have a ‘zine portion coming up in the Words and Pictures class in the Fall!

(Feat.) A New Kind of Class Featuring Six Artists
Class Dates: July 7-24, 2020

Hello!

Please join us for a 6-lesson online class where I’ve asked six artists I admire — two children’s book illustrators, two mixed-media artists and two gallery artists — to join us for a live-streamed interview. Then we will have a mixed-media work session and project from Carla INSPIRED BY the featured artists (Aram Kim, Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw, Mystele Kirkeeng, Liz Tran, Lewis Rossignol and Della Wells!).

Each lesson should be about 1.5 hours long and will be streamed live and recorded each Tuesday and Friday for three weeks starting July 7th…. the first half hour is earmarked for the artist interview and the second hour for the lesson. We will create it so that you can easily work alongside Carla if you like. Each session will be available in your account with forever access (in case you can’t make it to the livestream). No special app or signup will be needed.

And as always there will be a private Facebook group to share your work and the opportunity for feedback from the instructor and our vibrant creative community.

I hope you will join us for this new kind of class! Click HERE to sign up.
