changes from the last event:

A4-sized zines are accepted along with US Letter; we're about half and half americans vs non-americans so we may as well take both (it's also not as big a difference as i'd thought, which is both good and irritating)

if you've made cowboy-ish zines in the past (of any size) you can submit a post about those and we'll reblog/retweet it, although it won't be in the event gallery/download/print collections

additionally we'll reblog/retweet cowboy-ish art that isn't in zine form if you've participated in a zine bash event before

i was reminded that we do technically have to abide by ko-fi's content rules as well as tumblr's. it hasn't been relevant thus far, but if you're thinking about making something "nsfw" be sure to take a look

print copies from me will only be available for two months, but the downloads you can print yourself will be available for a year as usual

that's pretty much it, so if you've done this before, you're good to go! as always i'm here if you have questions; email and tumblr are the fastest ways to reach me and discord and twitter are the slowest but anything works.

i look forward to seeing all your zines, starting WEDNESDAY can you believe it. where'd april go

it was a close vote, but we'll be sticking with black and white prints and just limiting the duration of availability.

(color zines are still accepted; they'll be in color on the gallery page and everyone has the option to get the download pack and print in color for themselves! this is just for anyone who doesn't want to print + fold themselves and opt to get print copies from me)

last call for prompt ideas -- I aim to get the lists up this weekend, so send an ask/dm or comment on this post if you have suggestions!

[zinebash]

news & notes! 🤠

cowboy bash approaches.... "april-ish" date has now become a solid may 1st-31st 2024! nearly 2 months til it starts and a whole month of Happening, which is both plenty of time and (if youre on the same timefuck brain wavelength as me) way sooner than you think

prompt lists coming soon! if you have suggestions, please drop them below or in an ask! once again we'll have two lists, one for style/medium of zine, the other for theme/subject. we're interpreting "cowboys" in the broadest possible way, though your prompt suggestions don't have to; they can be about working livestock or spaghetti westerns or country music, whatever gets you excited

new for this event: sharing your other work if any of you have old cowboy-ish zines of any size, please submit a post about them (or a link to an existing post for reblogging)! they won't be part of the gallery/prints/download collection for the event, but we'd love to reblog them and share the cowboy zine love. additionally, if you're a zinebash alumni (ie, you've participated in a previous event) and have any other non-zine cowboy art or writing, you are also welcome to send those posts to us.

also new for this event: limits and cost, sorry :( to make things a little easier for myself, this time around there's going to be a limit on how many print copies I make available. but you all get to decide which method of limiting you prefer

if we go with the first option, i'll continue printing them myself at home. cost will be upped slightly (probably $2-3 instead of $1 depending on number of zines) if we go with the second option, i'll have them printed elsewhere which means we can do color! but it also means they'll be a little more pricey (around $5 for 10 color zines) the cost increase is still just covering the expense of printing them -- with the second option I'll know exactly how much it is and price accordingly; the first is a rough estimate but if anything I'll round down

as before the downloadables will stay up for a year and the gallery will stay up forever/until tumblr dies 👍

thanks in advance for your input! i can't wait to see what y'all make for the next event

#if you cannot wait an extra month for cowboys. cowboyshowfest for terrors is happening in april it will be very good #yeehaw is in the air right now

Thanks @zinebash for holding a zine event centered around Middle-ages! This opportunity finally pushed me to analyze and imitate early Medieval art and mixing it with my own style - something I've wanted to try for a long time! In the span of 7 pages I narrated the story of a secret love; usually, secret loves between a dame and her knight are sung by troubadours (hence the title, Courtly Love). Just, what if the relationship had been between two women?

Full zine under the cut!

#this is beautiful!! #posted zines #falene #zinebash04

[zinebash]

Made this for @zinebash 4: Medieval!!

The title is an Old English word with a meaning close to 'forever' cos I wanted to focus on things in medieval times that are still the same today

(Also the dog isn't meant to change size but I did the lines traditionally and didn't wanna redraw all the parts that went fine lmao)

#oh very cool! #posted zines #zinebash04 #mackirate

[zinebash]

extension! instead of ending tomorrow (the 25th) you now have through November 30th to complete & submit your medieval mini zines!

#sorry for not announcing this earlier! #i'll be too busy to get anything bash-related done for the next week so i thought you may as well #have a few extra days in case anyone's still working on something

[zinebash]

my zine for @zinebash 4: medieval! i was inspired by the chivalry prompt, and thinking about the code of chivlary and crusaders and conquistadors.

combined foldable version under the cut!

i might make another zine before the end of the week if i manage to squeeze one in after work some time

#excellent!! #posted zines #zinebash04 #twlfthnght

[zinebash]

little zine i drew for @zinebash n°4! the theme was "medieval" and it's a time period i deeply enjoy the aesthetic of, but since one of their prompts was "relics" i had to come up with interesting relics that don't actually exist.

#gorgeous work! #posted zines #zinebash04 #kalgalen

[zinebash]

little zine about a wizard/spirit/magical guy and his rabbit companions for @zinebash medieval theme!!

#love it!! #posted zines #zinebash04 #laoganma-sauce
