Moneyproof Wallets

Moneyproof Wallets
Moneyproof Wallets
by Andrew Jeffrey Wright
Andrew Jeffrey Wright’s solo show at SPACE1026 gave birth to this zine. It’s more than half screenprinted, by hand. There are many color pages, and many hand done sticker pages. This zine takes zines into art and doesn’t look back. That doesn’t mean that this book is snooty. Classic AJW style, lots of amazing cartoons, drawings and collaborations with Thom Lessner, Crystal Kovaks, Ben Woodward, Courtney Dailey, Molly Perry, and Isaac Lin. Andrew puts so much love into his books, and then he goes and charges like $3 for them. It’s criminal.

by John Freeborn
The issue with Jeff Wiesner on the cover. Why? I have no idea. Photos of skateboarding, involving Adam Crawford, Dave Opdenaker, John Freeborn, Woodward Skate Camp, and a story called “A Skateboard Fable” that I actually used as a college entrance essay. It worked, I got in. Raw as most Media Locals Zines are, photocopied.

by Chip Rowe
Chip Rowe has an eclectic taste. This zine embraces that. There are articles about the bionic man, postal scams, boring museums, and my personal favorite, an article written by two women (possibly an early zine) about the NBA in the 70s. The zine is offset printed and has a two color offset printed cover.

Moo Juice, from Chicago, IL, does a little bit of everything. It has comics, interviews, recipes, random stories, music reviews, and zine reviews. I love the production quality of #11. It has a 2-color toner cover (red and black) on pink paper, stickers inside, and a two color toner centerfold (green and blue). Clean layout, and well built.
