A vagary of impediments & a sneak of weasels.

Revealed from under cloak at Sunday’s zine fair (as part of this year’s Emerging Writers’ Festival), four new zines by Louise and me. One, in particular, might be of interest to those of you who read A skulk of foxes and a husk of hares for it features collective nouns en masse, huddled together in all their collective glory. A vagary of impediments and a sneak of weasels is a zine, and a long one at that.
At 52 pages in length, it features 24 new collages inspired by my ongoing fascination with a count noun that denotes a group of individuals. An anthology of stories, a Durante of toucans, a diligence of messengers, a configuration of natural objects and a troop of monkeys, these and similar all feature in a zine that lists 140 favourites.

You can lay claim to a copy of this zine here. The first five orders will receive a copy of Louise's charming new zine Tweak, Tweaked, Tweet.
(Glean more here and here.)
Alternatively, you can pop into either Sticky or Hand Held Gallery (for those who live in Melbourne) and pick up a copy in person.

  1. Dear you,
    Thanks for your many zine orders; the delightful task of wrapping them up for each of you remains.
    Louise and I were so touched by this zine interest shared that we have given away an exta 5 copies of 'Tweak, Tweaked, Tweet'.
    Look to your postbox soon,

  2. Hello
    I am thrilled by the sneak of weasels image and would love to put it on my wall. Is there any way I could buy a print a little larger than the 10.5 X 15cm zine?

  3. Thank you, Karen, for your kind words in regard to a rather sneaky-looking sneak of weasels. Working on this particular zine was, like many, a real hoot.
    I am afraid I do not have this image available as a print nor larger. The size of the images featured in this zine are pretty close to original size, sadly.
    I hope you find something else to grace your walls, and thanks for contacting me.
    cheers, g
    P.S. Here is a link to additional works on paper currently available through our online store, lest you have not found it already...
