Wasted Ink Zine Distro

We're on bluesky now talking shit on the daily. Find us there!

We're on Bluesky now. Come find us there instead.

Transparently, I need to sell 15 issues of Alt Milk between now and April to avoid paying contributors out of my own pocket. What is a business model? Money isn’t real. I’m flying by the seat of my pants here.

📚 Did you know we have a collection of over 3500 zines? Come along to our first ever Archive Open Day on Sat 2nd Dec, 12-3 to have a look at the zines that we keep behind the scenes in our archives, and chat to our archives staff to learn more about GZL’s fantastic collections.

Come find us at Dusk Market on 11/11! 🌞

The Barnard Zine Library lent four zines to the Brooklyn Museum for its upcoming exhibit Copy Machine Manifestos: Artists Who Make Zines.

Creative writing will not bring you money, fame, happiness, or validation. Generally it brings you nothing! Be prepared to bring everything of yourself and receive absolutely nothing! Become a writer!

Today, someone at zine fest asked me how many total fests I've tabled and I added up just over 30! In the past 9 years, I've tabled over 30 zine fests, hosted 7 PHX ZFs, and provided programs for many fests. That's a lotta zine fest stuff! 😍🎉

I distributed 97 #zines today at the @abqzinefest and hosted a mini Bad Art Club! I met new friends and said hi to many other great folks. Huge thanks goes to the organizers and volunteers for putting on a great fest! 💜

It's been a busy week in the print studio! This is 1/3 of the current order we're working on and I cannot WAIT to tell you all about it next week! :)

Meet artist, Kayla Shaggy, on Friday, 10/20 from 6-8p at her artist reception at Raiz Gallery. View her art show "Hózhó Technicolor," on display through the end of Oct. Hear more about Kayla's vision behind her artworks and purchase comics, prints, and other goods Kayla creates!

Zines didn't get mentioned in this year's Best of Phoenix from the @phoenixnewtimes but we will always thank them for including us in 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2022! It's hard to be the best, when we are the only full zine store in PHX! The 2022 write up still stands!🎉

If everyone who said "I want to do what you do," instead said "how can I support what you're doing?" we would be in a different place. Please consider how you can support folks doing big & hard things! There's so many ways to help!
