the black and white zine is up and ready to review!
of course i still haven’t heard back from yudu about the issue of some text displaying red other than for them to tell me that they didn’t see it, but hopefully that is remedied first thing on monday as i sent screen shots galore to illustrate the issue (re-uploading it did nothing but take another five hours, same issue ensues). do you guys see it? maybe it’s just me? in the meantime you can just check it out on my site: http://alteredbits.com/artzine.php (make sure to check out both parts).
i want to thank each and every one of you who are in the zine so very much for taking the time to submit your work and write up your descriptions. it eneded up looking fabulous! i mentioned to a couple of people that i was initially quite worried that black and white may appear too washed out or bland when crammed into one publication, but i was quite wrong — it rocked, because you guys are amazing artists! thank you also for all of your amazing feedback too! i will take a bit to respond to all of the emails but know i am appreciating you and all of your kindness right now.
here are the stats for anyone interested:
- the zine has currently been views on yudu 305 times (despite my telling people not to look yet since it’s all wonky)
- (it is the 78th most popular publication on their site of thousands of publications this week too)
- it was viewed 980something times within the first 24 hours of being on my site and 543 in the past two days
- 27 silly people, out of just over 1500 only looked at part one
i don’t even know 1500 people. or maybe even 27 for that matter. so, i am quite stunned that so many people have viewed this in such a very short period time.
happy weekend! i’m taking a couple of days off to chill, then i will bring you the new artist interview(s) mid-week next. you will be ever so excited!

hi i havent even had more than a cursory look yet. i am saving that delicious moment for the print version which I am still awaiting due to the weekend and someone stuffing up the photocopier at my husbands work. I cant wait to look. I might have to take a peek at the digital version. Congrats on the stats.

These stats are so exciting! You and your zine are taking off into the stratosphere and we all get to watch it happen!!! As my friend Karin (who was born in Germany and hasn’t quite gotten down all our American sayings) would say, “I’m pickled tink”. ; )
I have an idea who the artist interview will be so I’ll let you know if I guessed correctly. After the interview I hope you’ll have time to work on the tutorials on how you created some of the fabulous effects on your B&W pieces. That will be FUN!!!
