What are you waiting for?

The finished zines + my new Site

Above are pictures of the finished zines, spines and all! I can't believe they're finally done. Some were already mailed off, so they didn't make the final shoot, but that's ok.

Also, check out my new website http://www.barbra-araujo.com/ to see what else I do other than Sugar and Spice! Ha, ha.

Saturday September 1st is the opening night for the September Group Show at the Hive, featuring one of Mia's paintings! Check out http://www.thehivegallery.com/ for more details.

And this Sunday, we are off to see Cirque du Soleil's Corteo! It's finally come to L.A., and we've been waiting all year for this! Yay!

Well, that's all for now. Stay tuned for more!

I don't take pictures of random stuff...often.

Ok. I lie. But who doesn't?
(take pictures of random stuff, i mean.)

Good times.

Zine Production!

As of yesterday, we are 90% done with the zines! Yay! So all we need to do is print and attach the spines, and they'll be done.
Here are some images of our hard work! Ha, ha.






It's only a matter of time before they're ready for sale. More on that to come.

Process Pictures

Below are some process pictures we took. The first two are of the first draft of the zine-- the first time we ever put it all together to see it in book form! Following that, are pictures of adding the hand-written type to an image, and doing a collage illustration!

Please ignore the funny layout!

Our first FINAL copy-- Complete!

Yes, that's right. Today we received the proof in the mail, much to my delight. We cut the pages to size, and bound it all, so now it's done! It is such a good feeling to finally look through it all in its final intended form. We are that much closer to receiving the first batch of them, and getting those ready, and out for sale.

I must say: Docucopies is king when it comes to copies! Those guys are awesome. I hope the rest of it looks as good as this one did!

More on that soon. Also, some pictures of our process should be on the way as well.
That is all for now.

More soon on where to get your own copy.
