Portland’s New Boutique Bookstores
We recently came across this nice little piece on Portland’s growing scene of small curated book stores. It was published a while back in Portland Monthly Magazine. Not only are we big fans of all the featured stores (and carried in several of them), but we found that Incandescent Issue Two appears in the slide show. Thanks Reading Frenzy!
We had an amazing weekend at the LA Art Book Fair. It was held at the The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. The place was huge and filled with beautiful books, zines, and more! Issue one of Incandescent was one of the publications featured at Kickstarter’s table. We will be posting Issue Three in our online store in the next couple days. We have also added a list of stores that carry Incandescent here: incandescentzine.wordpress.com/locations.
We are excited to have been interviewed on tiny-waves.com. This is a really cool site that features both visual art and music. Also keep an eye out for an interview with Amanda Jasnowski, our Issue One cover artist!
Incandescent is officially announcing a call for art for Issue Three. As always, we are looking for color only / film only work. Email us some examples of your work and a website if you have one. The last day to submit is December 31st. Issue Three will be released at the end of January. Please spread the word to all the film photographers you know. No submission fees!
We are thrilled to have launched a shop page on this very blog for purchasing Incandescent Issue Two. If you are in Portland you can browse or buy the zine at Ampersand Gallery & Fine Books, Reading Frenzy, and Powell’s City of Books. We are working on getting Incandescent distributed outside of Portland as well. If you have a favorite shop that might want to carry the zine let us know!
To celebrate the second issues of both Incandescent and Tri-County Pie Eat, PIP will be throwing a release party and projection show during Last Thursday at the old clown house, 25th and Alberta, starting at dusk. We will be showing work by Portland area photographers and zines will be for sale.
This will be the first chance to see Issue 2 of Incandescent – and Tri-County Pie Eat! Tri-county is a photo based collaborative quarterly organized by recent PNCA grad Sarah LaPonte, Tri-County Pie Eat has been described as “Sunset magazine for crust punks and dreamers.”
