Manchester Print Fair #8

This coming Saturday (the 25th) sees the next Manchester Print Fair. This time it's in the People's History Museum and there'll be 40 stalls selling zines, as well as prints and various other dead nice things. Well worth a look. Plus, the People's History Museum is great so you can kill two birds with one stone and have a look around the exhibitions while you're there.

There's a list of stallholders on the Manchester Print Fair Facebook page and there'll also be a variety of print demonstrations by GF Smith.

New In: Feeling Alone #1: A zine about being an inpatient with BPD

"This is a black and white zine I wrote and drew all about my experiences as an inpatient on a psychiatric ward. I suffer from Borderline Personality Disorder which can lead to severe depressive lows. In the zine I describe what the hospital was like, how it was meeting other inpatients, what the nurses were like, how I felt, and what it was like coming home. I decorated the zine and added my own little drawings on most pages :) I used anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress questionnaires as my background paper.

A5 sized zine with 16 pages in total including a paper cover, all held together with a staple."

New In: Feeling Alone #2: One Year On

"This is a black and white zine I wrote and drew about the year following my inpatient experience (which I wrote about in Feeling Alone #1). I wanted to talk about what I've been doing to try to recover from BPD and this includes therapy but it also includes things like roller derby and learning to drive. I decorated the zine and added my own little drawings.

A5 sized zine with 16 pages in total including a paper cover, all held together with a staple."

New In: Brindis and Talking Heads by Adrián Martínez

"BRINDIS is a self-published project of the artist Adrián Martínez (Ibiza). The project was born in the summer of 2013. It is a collection of black ink drawings which all of them create stranger situations. The first issue focuses in a mysterious or wild way to draw for creating a story. Each separate drawing constructs a narrative. The second issue Talking Heads is a set of drawings and conversations between two characters. The irony and absurdity are part of BRINDIS."
