Q: What are zines? A: Zines are pronounced like magaZines just without the 'maga'. My simplified answer for you is: "Zines are self-published, handmade magaZines. They are created for the love of creating them rather than for profit." Q: What does 'artist edition' mean? Originally, this version is all I wanted to make. It comes with 'knickknacks and 'goodies' and often with color pages and extra inserts. Besides the extras, artist edition also involve hand-finished work such as hand-coloring, hand-stamped cover and other labor intensive work! You will find it so much more than 'just a zine'. For CHiNesE SwEAtSHoP as an example, artist edition are signed and numbered and printed in limited edition only. Q: What are 'simplified version' and 'standard edition'? They basically mean the same thing. These are more affordable versions of my zines that do not include color pages, 'goodies' or 'knicknacks'. In other words, they are in a 'plain Jane' zine format. Q: I'm interested in your publications. Which one will you recommend? And which particular one you love the most? Hmm... a lot of my 'first time supporters' start with CHiNesE SwEAtSHoPs. They are printed in a limited number (24 for issue one, 45 for issue two and 100 for issue three) and all signed and numbered. But I absolutely love my 'one-shot' zines. They allow me to experiment new presentations and different themes. As for my favorite, it will be BROKEN, my first artist book. It's not a zine because it's more like a story book and it was done in a different approach. I love the simplicity and the way it looks! Q: I don't see any shopping carts on your site, how do I order? You can email me your order with just the code (after the titles of each zine) and I will do the calculations for you. You can also add up the total yourself and send me a check or money order. Paypal is also welcome, my paypal account is elsie@chinesesweatshop.com. Q: How long will it take for me to receive my order? In most cases, I will have orders mailed out within a week upon payments. If for any reasons I can't mail out your orders within a week, I will email and let you know. Please note that orders through snail mail may take longer time due to the fact that I now live in a different town than where my PO Box is, I do not check my mails as often as I used to. Q: How do I subscribe to your zines? I'm not taking subscription at this point but I do have a 'I want everything ' list for those who don't want to miss any titles. I will save a copy of any new work for those of you on the list nd send out paypal invoice when they are really to released for your convenience. But of course, you can still change your mind after receiving the invoice. Please contact me if you want your name to be on this list! Q: Do you offer any discount if I order multiple publications in one order? Sorry, I do not offer discount only because I can not afford to. Each of my work take a lot of time to put together. They are products from sweatshop activities! If you are ordering a few artist editions, I will normally upgrade the shipping method to priority mails and stuff the envelope with fun goodies. Thanks for supporting my sweatshop projects! |
