Electric Ant Zine... in living colour!

Overall, I truly prefer B&W for the interiors of what was intended as a proper zine-- a text + collage + comics compendium of cool things. That said, having stuff only in B&W this time did keep me from being able to two run a few really amazing pieces-- pieces that deserve a proper showing in FULL COLOR. 

Here are a few color pieces for the THESE BLOODY MOMENTS feature that ended up running in a slightly different format:

  • 3 SCENES FROM AKIRA by HARVEYJAMES
  • MACHINE GIRL by MIMI LEUNG

I do love the black white and it does make it feel more like a zine that way. Also all color?!?!? I imagine would be super costly to produce. A few pages in color or a color centerfold would be cool and more ideal.

I think you should go 2-color. Black and RED. Blood, blood, and more blood.

haha, yeah--- ALL COLOR would never be feasible unless the book was super small (and printed in China). I do hope to do another insert like in Issue 1 with the first kiss survey.

B&W (+ maybe 1 spot color) FOREVER
