AEZINE = The Story

There is a Yahoo group called Art Erratica. These are artists that produce things that aren't exactly mainstream and a little bit bizarre at times. After some group discussions, Melissa McCobb Hubbell of Connecticut, and Amy Peacock of Washington State, and Julie Sadler of upstate New York formed what is known as AEZ (Art Erratica Zine). We create the zine entirely by email conversations( ok--well maybe an urgent phone call now and then!), and we send art via the net and ftp sites.

The first four issues came out last year. They were similar in structure and each one had a theme. The covers were of a heavy colored stock printed with black and the guts were black and white. It ran approx. 60 pages each time and it also included an interactive CD. On the CD were animated galleries of the art that was in the zine and also additional work. The CD allowed us to present the artwork in color. We had some homegrown music one time, a few home-spun movies, a lot of flash work, and even a guest flash presentation from Barry Smylie. All in all it was a great year. But as goes with some art projects, there came a time for some changes!

We are happy to announce Issue #5, Theatrica Erratica which is atribute to theater. This time the zine is 48 pages in full color. Their is also a hand made folder that encloses the zine and CD. In the center is a popup that one can remove from the zine and construct. It is a little paper theater and is also 2-sided, so one could choose which version they wanted to make. Featured artists in #5 are Deb Hayner, Mars Tokyo, Holly Hartzell, Alain Valet, & Joshua Thomas.
