Olympia Zine Fest 2017 Tabler Spotlights!

Name & location: Niamh Timmons, Edmonds, WA

Zines: Notes From A Failed Sex Worker, Trans Sexual Geographies, Disabled Comics #1, Run Away, Macrophage #1

You can find Niamh on tumblr as 'callmeamab' and twitter as @qtdodger.' Niamh will also be reading at Saturday night’s post-expo zine reading, 7 pm at Obsidian! Check them out!

What is your favorite zine of the moment? My favorite zine right now is Spider Teeth. It's been on my mind a lot. It's also the zine that made me want to make zines. 

What do you think of when you think of Olympia? I used to live in Olympia when I went to Evergreen and I kinda have a fond attachment to its weird rural and urban mix. Also, shitty roommates. Also also, Sleater-Kinney.

What are you gonna be for Halloween? I've been wanting to do a cosplay for a while of Reki from Haibane Renmei or one of Sakura's outfits from Cardcaptor Sakura and I might just use it for halloween. 

What motivates you to finish a zine? I really struggle with motivation because of mental health stuff. I can be really productive for a short period and then struggle for the rest.

What’s your weather prediction for this year’s fest? I think it's probably going to be overcast with some rain. If the sun and clear skies do show up, it'll still be raining. That's what Olympia does. 

What workshop are you the most stoked about? I'm most excited for Nia King's book self-publishing workshop. I don't know if a book is something I ever want to do, but I want to at least have the potential skills.

Today at Olympia Zine Fest: Zines and Music: a Panel Discussion Sunday, October 25 - 3:30 PM to 5 PM - Le Voyeur Musical zinesters hang out and discuss the intersection of music and zine culture. Joshua James Amberson runs Antiquated Future Distro and creates many zines including the essential “Prince” zine. Devon Morf writes the longtime zine “Waj Lemac,” is a collector of alternative cultural relics, and sings for the thrashcore band Conquest for Death. Jimi Sharp is a teacher, music enthusiast, and author of the longstanding “Fidalgo Island’s Beautiful” zine. Anna Vo (non-binary) works in audio engineering, plays in bands, runs the black metal and doom label AN OUT RECORDINGS, and writes many zines including the ever excellent FIX MY HEAD.

Nicole will be reading at the post-expo zine reading with guest of honor Nia King- Saturday night, October 14, 7 pm at Obsidian. Don’t miss it!

What is your favorite zine of the moment? My favorite zine is No Gods No Mattress

What do you think of when you think of Olympia? I think of filling a 50 pound mesh onion bag with giant red macintosh apples and nibbling the biggest red clover flowers Ive ever seen. I think of hitchhiking and a cop bringing me to a shelter instead of a holding cell. I think of hard frosts, and a 1200 mile journey I embarked on with only one penny to my name because a dream told me I would love someone on the other end.

What’s your favorite zine hack? um, the honor system at the Copy World in Berkeley!

What are you gonna be for Halloween? I'm going to be sober, and I'm either going to be Marilyn Monroe, or a be a cute black cat in a velvety pajama onesie cause I'm so cute it's almost painful.❤

What motivates you to finish a zine? Well, I'm a capricorn and I am constantly "doing", obsessively taking on projects, and making or meeting goals. Zines have helped my process trauma. As well, each work of art, each project, each zine, each season, is a skin that I shed and emerge from, and, at this point I know no other way of being.

What is your weather prediction for this year's fest? It will probably rain, as I will be flying like a big girl and not driving or hitchhiking.

What workshop are you the most stoked about? Well, the one combatting fatphobia attracts me because fatphobia is so pervasive and oppressive and I hate it. Also the suicide awareness workshop sounds important, as I have been combatting suicidal ideation since my early teens, write openly about it in my zine, and have lost many many friends to suicide. Also, Nia King's workshop will be amazing...because, well, she is just a genius and absolutely incredible to me.
