I’ve been busy cataloguing all the zines for the new @chchzinelibrary which we are launching for the @tcschch x @coca.chch colab in Lux Espresso. What goes better together then coffee and self publishing 🤷‍♀️ August 3rd, exact details to come 👍🏻 The Chch/Ōtautahi Zine Library is bought to you by the Christchurch Zinefest team (special mention Alice Bush) and M/K Press ⚡️ (at Christchurch, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/BlCvja8BrNA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1etxmdt7bgewv

I’ve been super busy, maybe you can tell by the lack of posts since before I last went to Melbourne, but I’ve been finishing off four books this week! First of which is this photozine for @charlierosecreative, printed in black and fluro pink. This is the first book I’ve fully made from design all the way through to binding and trimming, since M/K is now fully set up with heaps of finishing equipment ✂️ Anyway, this is turning into a long caption, but you should really go buy a copy over on Charlie’s website (charlierosecreative.com/shop) because her photography is pretty damn amazing 📸💕 (at Christchurch, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoJAt57gBf2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10fpsvn966obu

I was working on a shop update before I left for Melbourne but I never actually finished it here’s a photo anyway ⚡️👍🏻 — Rebranding and some new work will also come eventually but this week I’m helping Flox in Timaru with a too cool for school mural at St Andrews Primary 🤓 (at Timaru, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/BjrRyDtDaZp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m0jd50h3hogi

We are now closed for 2017! It’s been a big year for M/K, and really exciting things are already planned for 2018. Have a great Christmas/New Year/Summer Holiday, and we will be open again on Monday 8th January 🤙🏻🍻🕺 (at The Welder Collective)

For the month of July Sticky Institute has taken over all the display cabinets in the City Library and filled them with zines (and staplers). The exhibition is titled Zine Enclosure and can be viewed during all hours the library is open.

We have almost finished up for the year! M/K will be closed from Friday 22nd December, opening again on Monday 8th January. If you have any last minute jobs for before Christmas get in touch sooner rather then later, we may be able to squeeze them in 🖨 (at The Welder Collective)
