It includes articles about: VillaVillaNola: an mp3 download label (that I’ve talked about here), independent fashion design, freelance writing abroad, animating Miracle Fortress’ magnadoodle-drawn music video, Dungeons and Dragons, and more.
The idea is to make a free zine-style publication with firsthand, […]
