Featured Item: Deadbeat Daughters

Blessed are the wretched, we'll do it our way.  Deadbeat Daughters by Hannah Abelow and Daniella Ben-Bassat is fun all the way through. It starts with a really rad orange and black screen printed cover on newsprint and from there delves into assembled words, photos, drawings, and an Internet presence with more photography to boot! For Deadbeat Daughters everywhere.

P.S. This is the last week to catch the Deadbeat Daughters video and prints at our group show in the AS220 Project Space!

Featured Item: Bookmarking Da Spirit Through Dial-Up: Coming of Age in America (Online)

Bookmarking Da Spirit Through Dial-Up: Coming of Age in America (Online) put together by Monica Yi collects a number of nostalgic short stories recalling experiences like getting the household "wired" and gossiping on AOL after school. The words are broken up with full page collages of early computer effects and drawings done in Paint. Going through it is a total time warp. It gave me the warm-fuzzies thinking of my own first time inventing usernames and hanging out in chat rooms when I was 12 with friends and complete strangers. I was riding this new wild horse called The Internet with no map, and I remember having to ask what exactly "LOL" stood for from a teenaged Canadian boy on a Sailor Moon forum 10 years ago. Monica's zine brings it all full circle.

Amigos & Friends at the AS220 Project Space

We are excited to announce that we have curated a group show and collaborative zine exhibit in the AS220 Reading Room, located in their Project Space at 93 Mathewson St.  Based on one of our main interests as Amigos, we asked a handful of our artist friends to participate in Amigos & Friends.  These artists in turn asked a friend to also exhibit in the show, either on collaborative or separate work.  In addition to these pieces, all artists were encouraged to submit printed matter which will be on view alongside a selection of Amigos zines (and zines by other amigos), to highlight the atmosphere of AS220's Reading Room.  The opening reception of Amigos & Friends will be held on Sunday October 2nd from 4-7PM.  The exhibition will then be on display through the month of October. 

Amigos 002 Hands Wide Open

We here at Amigos are proud to release our second publication, Hands Wide Open by Dylan Goettlich. Hands Wide Open is a 24 page black+white zine of illustrations by Dylan Goettlich. Dylan's drawings evoke an apocalyptic world where humans, animals, and other creatures are forced to coexist. Each zine comes with a vinyl sticker featuring one of Dylan's drawings. It's available in the store and for only 8 Bucks! Some of Amigos 001 by Vinny Martin are also still available, so feel free to order away!
