BODYSLAM! It’s the latest issue

Another month, another micro-‘zine. Bodyslam 6.2 is available as a 6.3MB download. Check out older BODYSLAM ‘zines here.

Limozine and old Boston pics

Rob React has a small set of “Old School Boston Skateboarding” pics up on Flickr. Turns out he was part of the old “Limozine” crew. The spot above was known as Turtles. I have two old copies of Limozine that I need to add to our 80’s Zine Archives. [Source: Drunken fist]

Lowcard dealt a winning hand.

Sure some of us struggle to put out one print issue every couple of years, and we make excuses. Meanwhile, others don’t seem to have a problem. A couple years ago I read about Lowcard in Thrasher and sent away for an issue. They sent me issue #8 from April of 2005. It’s 40 pages […]

Bodyslam 6.1

In the eighties I published a ‘zine called Bodyslam. I always meant to do another issue and got started a few times but for various reasons it never happened. Well Kilwag inspired me to do a micro version. a single 8.5 x 11″ sheet, two-sided, folded and trimmed down and stapled down to a 16 […]

Bailgun black blog

Tweaker is one big Flash application that mimics a real magazine, but with a few multimedia tweaks, if you will. The traditional folded over letter-sized paper aspect ratio is preserved, and corners […]

Mass media sellouts

So yeah, now that we were on TV we are all too busy taking lunch meetings at Spago to update the site. All in all, our Attack of the Show profile went off about the best we could have expected, considering the show’s target audience. I’d say it was a fairly benign appearance and it […]

OMSAZINE#3 Pool Issue

I get about a million emails a day. I’m trying to run two web sites while being a little absent minded already. Things fall through the cracks, to say the least. If I meet you, I will likely have to have several conversations before I remember your name. It’s just how my brain is wired. […]

A zine a day for a week.
Day 7: Contort #2

Contort was pretty much the king of East coast zines. Everyone who traded zines or went to Boston knew about Contort and Dan Estabrook. He and Contort were constantly being mentioned in Thrasher or Transworld. This is issue #2, when Dan was still doing it with a partner. It’s a pretty straight forward zine with […]
