Richmond Zine Fest 2010
A few weeks ago I tabled this event with Chelsea Dirck and Candace Corbin in Richmond, Virginia. We don't seem to be in this video. Dirck sold prints like hot cakes. I made buttons and periodically someone would buy an Arty Party or Assuming Size. C.L. Corbin made her very first zine, a collection of poems, drawings and collages.

Richmond Zine Fest W/ Chelsea Dirck
On October 16th, Chelsea Dirck and I will be tabling during the Richmond Zine Festival at The Gay Community Center in Richmond, Virginia. Chelsea is an inveterate diarist and pen and ink specialist from Boston, Massachusetts. Look at this drawing of hers:
If you have any zines you would like me to take to the festival to sell or distribute, email me at james.david.payne.1@gmail.com or find me in person. And please come to Richmond to hang out.

Women's Comics Anthology
Women's Comics Anthology, a zine I co-edited as part of the Ladydrawers project I am helping Anne Elizabeth Moore with, is now available to download for free on 'the Internet.'
Women's Comics Anthology is a gendered content analysis of a random sample of comics anthologies. Some of the statistics derived from our study are deeply troubling and call for soul-searching introspection of behalf of comics editors, publishers and artists. For instance, women comics makers only accounted for 16% of total contributors to the anthologies we reviewed. Indeed, more women appeared as naked characters in the anthologies than as clothed creators contributing to them. These facty-facts, propped up by anecdotal accounts in extensive interviews collected under the Ladydrawers project, paint the comics industry as systematically inequitable and largely divided among gender lines.
Women's Comics Anthology is also a comics anthology, largely drawn by women. Each statistic collected was illustrated by a different artist. Contributors include Ramsey Beyer, Candace Corbin, Chelsea Dirck, Sara Drake, Emil Emanta, Karla Hewitt-Blackie, Ingrid Olson, Leslie Perrine, Alma Vescovi and most of Moore's Ladydrawers class at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
