Here are a few snaps from The Art of Waiting exhibition at Crystal Palace Subway - a celebration of #CPFC's FA Cup win, which featured a COLOSSIVE reproduction of my And It Will Be Beautiful #zine, plus a picture of my lucky socks at Wembley.

I don't think my lucky socks are working any more. 😔

We sent out our latest newsletter yesterday with details of our new Colossive Cartography #zine, an awards nomination, fundraising updates and some #CPFC stuff that didn't age well.

Still haven't subscribed? 🙄Read it here instead - and we'll say no more about it...

The Colossive Cartography Series 12 is now complete including “A Fragile Obsession” by my own fair hand concerning what happens when an EBay studio glass habit gets out of control.
Or - even better - get all six #zines in the now-complete Series 12 for just a tenner at bit.ly/colossiveS12

#NiceZines recently asked, "What kinds of zines do you really love?"

Mini zines, zines with interesting folds, zines with lots of texture, tactile elements and hidden pockets, per-zines, zines with interesting observations, zines from a marginalised POV...

🥶What types of zines do you love?

Something else new and exciting has turned up in the Croydon Spaceport in-tray: this careers brochure that was distributed via local libraries and labour exchanges (and reportedly dropped into the neighbouring boroughs of Bromley and Sutton on daring 'black helicopter' missions)

Ooh! Our #ColossiveCartographies are up for Best Periodical Series - which makes us very pleased and proud on an otherwise sub-optimal day.

Thank you @brokenfrontier.bsky.social 😊

Now, get voting, gang!

Here's @vjs411.bsky.social on a bench with a copy of her Colossive Cartography, Rest in Peace (which, non-coincidentally, features photos of benches).

All royalties from Victoria's #zine go to Maggie's Cambridge - and we've just made our latest donation of £18.

Ooh - started the new year by ploughing through the ever-growing pile of donations to the Croydon Spaceport archive.

A lot of the usual ephemera, but then this rose to the top of the pile. Who knows what else might be in there?
