Oh hey, cool zine news: I’m gonna have a virtual stall at Sticky Institute’s Festival of the Photocopier online! The site will launch on 20th February at 12pm AEDT at fotp.online. The website will be live for at least a year post-launch, which is really exciting for those who can’t pop by this weekend.
