I just caught wind of this wonderful looking zine fair happening tonight in London. On top of a killer line-up of artists I have long been a fan of (Diana Tamblyn, Lido Pimienta, Peter Thompson, Marc Bell), the evening also boasts, projections, workshops and bands to follow. I am sure all the zinesters I don’t know are just as great, too. You can peruse thewhole line-up with links

Spring is springing from coast to coast and what better way celebrate than with two craft fairs 6000km apart? Both Halifax Crafters and Got Craft? have made it their missions to bring the indie craft movement into the light in their respective coastal cities.
