V6: Issue 1 - Warm and Fuzzies

So, really random ... we were at a zine fair here and one of the tables has a basket of mini pompoms with a sign that read 'warm fuzzies' the exact theme of our issue!! *twilight zone theme*

January AA Sketchmeet at the Brown Dog Café and Call for Submissions!

We're kicking off the new year with a fun sketchmeet!

We met up at the Brown Dog Café at Locke Street in Hamilton for a day of doodles, painting, further AA planning, and general art talk. 

Fueled by coffee, tasty sandwiches and apple fritters made in-house (that's right!) we  drew the day away.

The Brown Dog is a great place for artists looking for a warm and comfortable place to work - with its humongous tables, big windows to let all that natural light in, and not to mention the endless supply of coffee and pastries! We'll definitely be planning more sketchmeets here.

AA will be having monthly sketchmeets in the GTA! Stay tuned for an updated calendar for 2016 events. It's an exciting one guys!

And now...

 CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS!

January's zine theme is WARM and FUZZY!

Sweaters, cozy blankets, a fuzzy caterpillar in a fuzzy sweater, Drake's over sized turtleneck, his scruffy beard? What makes you feel the warm fuzzies?!

Artword Artbar Zineposium 2015

On a stormy Saturday afternoon, the AA attended the free Artword Artbar Zineposium in downtown Hamilton. Located right at the corner of James St. and Cobourn, the day was bustling with zine-ists and zinethusiasts despite the rain and wind that lasted forever!!!

  AA had a small round table for our most recent spring and summer issues, as well as some zines dating back to our first one in 2011! We spoke to many zinesters and the enthusiastic owners/organizers of the event itself - Judith and Ron.  

There was a bit of a scramble in the beginning since we came in a touch late to set up.

 

 

But everything worked out in the end and we had a blast!

 We ended the stormy night with a little meeting to discuss the next theme for the fall, along with some tasty coffee and brownies at the Baltimore House. A little bit of doodling helps get the creative juices flowing (the caffeine helped too).

We thought it was such a neat idea that the Baltimore House had doodle books lying around for their customers to use :D

Thanks for stopping by!
