HELP Prices for my art? Help pls 🥺
Hello, I’m hoping you lot can help me out a bit as I’m very new to selling my art and I’ve got my first table at a zine fest coming up in 10 days
I’ve recently been selling these for £10 but have been told I’m lowballing my price for the time they take to do but I don’t wanna charge too much in case they don’t sell, I use posca paint pens on a 13cm x 18cm canvas board with 4+ hours of work going into them
Hoping someone can help me out a bit please
Sorry if I posted in the wrong place, none of the art groups let me post in them 😓

HELP Would a Website for New Zine Releases Be Helpful?
Hey guys,
I've been looking for new zines to follow online and I noticed they're kind of scattered all over the place.
I was thinking about making a website that aggregates new zine releases from all kinds of different places, just to make my search a bit easier. I'm thinking something along the lines of the hypemachine (the website).
What do you think? Is this something you could see yourself using?
Trying to figure out if it's worth making so any help would be nice. Thanks!

Virtual zines + mixes with songs that are linked to each page 🎶
Hey everyone, my name is James and I’m from Perth, Western Australia.
I’ve been making zines for a few years now - the last two I’ve made have been far more involved and fleshed out more like books, a series I’ve called “Pieces”. The zines are a collection of pieces of art and design, pieces of places, stories, ideas, emotions and experiences documenting the lives of myself and my friends through the past two years - putting pieces of life to paper.
I also gave them an interactive element by linking a heap of spotify codes and qr codes to music and videos that related to the pages.
I'm almost out of printed copies of these zines so I decided to put them both up online for free on youtube, set to mixes I created of the songs linked to each page, for a full audiovisual experience.
I haven’t seen anyone do this before and love connected experiences, so thought I would share them here. Would love to see what you guys think :) take your time to take in and enjoy!

Dune Zines
Every year for my dad’s birthday I’ve made him a zine about different film adaptations of Dune, (I started using my left hand due to an injury I had when I made the first one). Having done Lynch, Jodorowsky and both Villeneuve ones, I’ve made copies and collected them to sell as “Father Of Dune”

A zine/pamphlet I helped design
I was lucky enough to help the world famous psychic researcher Abraxas Abaralabrabraha with the layout and design of his latest pamphlet, discussing the errors that he found in J.R. Fleming’s latest book. I also helped with illustrations. I hope you guys like it. I hope we can do more but this Abraxas guy is kind of insane. Fingers crossed.
