Sea Green Zines is still alive! Just a little slothful.
I am very happy to announce that Dear Anonymous 2 is complete! Now only copies need to be made and sewn.
So if you have letters for the next zine, send them in! Email here.
Genius – Keep Wall Street Occupied

Done!
The Occupy Melbourne zine is done and ready for copying, topping out at both my quickest made zine as well as my longest zine (30 pages). Though Occupy Melbourne (and Sydney, for that matter) no longer have libraries to donate to because of this:

But that doesn’t mean anything is stopping. Melbourne and Sydney are still grouping. I am still planning on sending out copies (unbound, so those who receive can copy as they please) of my zine to ‘occupy’ libraries. I want the world to know what happened in Australia and I want them to know how occupy movements came together in support.
If anyone would like to contribute to another zine like this and/or if you know the PO boxes of occupy movements, please let me know.
Occupy Melbourne Zine
I may claim that I’m still ‘just thinking about it’, but I’m doing a little more than thinking. I put this together as a front cover.
It’s not as impressive in black and white, which I will have to print most – if not all – of them in. But I still like it as a colour. I want it to show that we’re all in this together on a worldwide scale.
Again, if anyone wants to contribute, be it with a quote, poem, diary entry, whatever, let me know. As long as you’re cool with it going in the zine, it’s all good. I’m happy to include links if you direct me with a blog entry that you would like to include.
I’m also happy to take screen shots if you have some gold in them Twitter hills. 😉 Haha.
Occupying My Mind
I know I haven’t been there for ages, and I’m not sure if anyone is listening anymore. That’s okay; I wouldn’t blame anyone for that. Illness and depression took me away from zine making for a long space of time, and even I am hesitant to now say that I am back for the long haul.
But that’s what inspiration does; it grabs you and forces you to pay attention…
I am tentatively thinking about putting together an ‘Occupy Melbourne’ zine, so if you attended that or an Occupy movement near you, please leave a comment. I’d love to get some quotes, pictures, letters, etc.
Here are some pictures from Day One of Occupy Melbourne.

Stephen Fry – Getting out of the I-Mode

I am a huge fan of Stephen Fry and this video shows one of the many reasons why…
Zine Ninja: Stealth Mode
Seeing as it was a beautiful day, Zine Ninja (as of yet, unnamed) decided to practice his stealth abilities.
Sea Green Zine Ninja
Remember Purple Moose?
Well, being a favourite, erm, ‘companion’ of both my cat and my puppy, Purple Moose has seen better days. He has decided to retire from the trials of being a zine mascot and to pursue things like bookshelf life and knitting.
However, he did not leave me completely alone. Say hello to the Sea Green Zine Ninja:
The zine ninja and I spent the afternoon of my birthday together. It turns out he’s just as fond of hotel rooms as I am.
And strawberries.
And stealing hotel room bikkies. He doesn’t eat the bikkies, mind you. It’s the stealing that is the enjoyable part.
Hopefully you will be seeing more of the Sea Green Zine Ninja while we get to know each other, hopefully decide on a much shorter name and make zines.
Dear Anonymous
I’m finally moving on from Dear Anonymous by creating a batch for sending to a zine library in the UK. It’s my first library submission, so I’m quite happy about that.
Having finished those, I’ll finally be concentrating my efforts on this site and Dear Anonymous 2. I also have Sirius Rising, but the focus of that has taken a dramatic change so I’m putting that on the back burner for the moment.
I feel so good getting back to zines.
