So – I finally finished my first ZINE!
Mooncher’s Mind-Dump: Creative Fodder for Thinkers & Dreamers (like me).
Woo-the-hoo-hoo!!!
If you read my previous post – you’ll understand how LONG it has taken me (as in 25 years!) to finally return to my first love: Art & Zine-Making. (Pronounced “zeen” – although Nick insists on saying “zine” as-in “wine”. Grr.)
I’m still trying to work out ways to ship printed copies of the zine to interested folk around the world (I don’t know about you – but I love holding the “Real Deal” in my hands)… but – in the meantime… while I work out printing & shipping quotes and what-not… I’m selling the zine on Gumroad in a PDF format.
I don’t ask for much on this blog – and I really try NOT to push stuff on to my readers… but – this (gulp!) is a VULNERABLE place for me to be in right now. Everything in me is screeching:
“You crazy lunatic! Nobody is going to want your weird zine! It only proves that you’re a fruit-loop, anyway! Go and get a Real-Job!”.
I’m working on IGNORING those critical voices – and so, (whilst inwardly cringing)… I’ve decided to put myself “out there” and make this request:
If you are thus inclined… I would be over-the-moon with glee if you supported Mooncher’s Mind-Dump. You pay what YOU want for it – whatever you think it’s worth. It’s currently listed as $1+ (so… umm… you won’t be able to pay less than a dollar for it – but hopefully that won’t put too many people off).
There are currently two options: You can buy this month’s 48 page zine (and be done with it). Or you can subscribe – and receive my madness in your inbox… once a month.
For the single-zine option… AND the subscription option, you pay whatever you feel my art is worth.
I will add (once I have the correct costings) an additional offer of having a printed version of the zine shipped to you. But that option is not available yet.
Oh – and don’t click on the link to my mooncher website yet (mentioned on the Gumroad site) – I’m still finishing it… I’ll let you know when it’s done.
Okay?
Okay.
So, enough sales-pitch from me – if you want the very FIRST Mooncher’s Mind-Dump – just click HERE.
Oh – one more thing: a quick warning / disclaimer.
Many of my friends / relatives and readers of this blog are from conservative backgrounds. I need you to know that I have given myself permission (as “Mooncher”) – to be very real… very honest… and very, very un-edited. Mooncher’s Mind-Dump is exactly that – a creative way of dumping whatever is on my mind… and sometimes, it’s not pretty. Sometimes I discuss sensitive topics (like my religious background)… sometimes I rant… and, there are also a couple of rude words in there too. (Not always though… there’s plenty of fun, nice, light-hearted stuff too)…
BUT…
If you get easily offended – maybe my Mind-Dump is not for you (and that’s also 100% okay!!).
Okay. That said.
I’m now going to press “publish” – and go and bite my nails in a hot bath.
Heather you are so endearing. I love your blogs. I can just see God smiling as He reads them!! You are my “brave heart”. Good luck with your fabulous new adventure. Your art is profoundly beautiful, interesting and entertaining.
Thanks, sweet Patty. I appreciate you! x
