Zine Soup

zine

Zine Soup – a compendium of illustrated interviews with some of the world’s best-known zine artists – is released this Friday by the guys at Telefon til Chefen (TTC)*. I helped edit the book, learning a lot about zine culture in the process, and I can guarantee that if you have any interest in the genre – or in the nature of the artistic process – you’ll get a lot out of it.

Friday’s launch will feature some exhibited works from some of the artists featured in the book, as well as nice music and beers. You should go.

*TTC is ‘a creative art collective consisting of 3 members who all together, individually and in smaller groups publish graphic and photographic zines and books.’

What I did next

Hello, it’s been a while. Anyone still out there?! Anyway, a quick post to tell you about a nice food project I’m working on together with some fellow Brits. It’s called CPH Meal, and we’ll be hosting occasional one-off food events in and around Copenhagen.

We have some of Copenhagen’s best chefs onboard and we think we can create something pretty special. But what we’re especially excited about is making fine dining a bit more accessible. We want to demystify haute cuisine a bit and involve our guests a little more in the details. We’ll be sharing recipes, passing on tips about where to find the best natural ingredients and documenting everything as we go.

There’s still lots to organise but please check out our site and drop me a mail at cphmeal at gmail dot com if you’re interested in finding out more. You can also find us on Twitter.
