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.”
Check out the cover of the newest edition of Incandescent! The cover photograph was taken by Brooke Holm from Australia. Pine Island Press is happily in production mode and will have Issue Two out by the end of August. Pre-orders will be available here on the blog soon so check back in a couple of days to order a copy!
We just got word this week that 1/3 of the Incandescent Crew is going to be away until the middle of July. All the procrastinators are in luck! We have decided to extend the deadline for submitting to Issue Two. You now have until July 15th to send us your work. Thank you to all of those that have submitted already. We have a lot of beautiful work to look through. We will begin contacting people by the end of July and still hope to get the next issue out in August. Please continue spreading the word.
For those of you who live in Portland and have not seen the zine yet, it is now available for viewing at the IPRC Library. The Independent Publishing Resource Center is an amazing resource for anyone interested in making their own publications. We bound the first issue of Incandescent here and fell in love with the Bindfast machine. Helen and Marissa are now volunteers and would love to help you bind your project on Tuesdays from 7-9pm.
And speaking of the IPRC… they just moved into a huge new amazing space and have a Kickstarter campaign to fund projects in the new space. Check out their video here and contribute to a great cause.
We are finally seeing the sun here in the Pacific Northwest. We are sitting outside dreaming of all the amazing new work we’ll be seeing from you all over the next month. The deadline for the Summer Issue is June 15th and will be available sometime in August. As always, we are open to all submissions that are both color and film.
