If anyone is still with me haha then you would know i have slowly been in the process of making my next zine, a follow-up from Chasing Hot Air Balloons #7. BUT, If i remember correctly from past posts, i may have mentioned that this zine will be different. Since issue 1 of CHAB, it has simply been my thoughts and adventures, ramblings, drawings and poems. There is nothing wrong with such a zine but poems and little drawings are only one part of me. I don’t think chab 8 will be chab 8. i think chasing hot air balloons finished at issue 7 and i didn’t even realise it when i was making - and am still making - ‘chab 8’. But this issue is different. it’s a different side of myself, a perzine, a story, a long story, intense and interesting, adventurous and just ‘wow’ because i’ve never put such personal stories down on paper for people to see like this before, it’s always been verbalised and cut down, not stretched and articulated and explained like i have in this issue. But i still have heaps to go if i just get around to typing it all out! but i will finish it! i want to and maybe i need to. So, i hope you look forward to a whole new side of me, not just my creepy man drawings and haikus, but a story, my story.MY PURPLE SKY #1, COMING SOON.
