Appreciate a reblog @zine-scene@zineapps@zinefeed@fandomzines@zinefans@zineforall@atozines@zinesunlimited@zinecenter@fanzinewatch@welovezines @altpack
“Baby, we’re a dying breed.”
Artist @/alineriverx (IG) created this one for our first zine Vol. 1: Imploding The Lockdown (yes, before Imoloding The Mirage was released!), and it’s one of my personal favorites.
Check Aline’s work and commission them if you love their style x
Congratulations @thekillers for extending the record of unbroken run of #1 studio albums in the UK with Imploding The Mirage!
The band has 6 #1 albums while Brandon now has EIGHT to his name.
Updates!
We are closing the Zine Crew Application early due to overwhelming response BUT we’re also opening Artists / Writers Application *early*!
If you want to create art or write for Vol. 2 you have until Sept 6th 2020 to apply.
We’re doing things differently this time. To contribute you first have to apply. Selected contributors will have 5 weeks to complete their work. We will have you choose from a pool of topics / theme - this way the zine won’t be 178 paintings of Brandon Flowers.
Don’t worry, we know you want to create art / writings related to Imploding The Mirage so you’ll see ITM topics aplenty. If you have any questions @ us / dm us / email us.
But first please check FAQ sheet (link in our bio).
@zinecenter@zine-scene@fandomzines@fanzinewatch@fanzineologia@fanzineinfo@zinesubmissions@zinephile@altpack
All the events happening tomorrow and Friday.
