Lickety Split! (Who's Coming?)


Meet Lickety Split!
Lickety Split is a pansexual smut zine dedicated to encouraging sex-positive expression and thought. Lickety Split is the pervy dream baby of Amber Goodwyn and her community of friends and acquaintances. The first issue was printed in 2004 since then it's been an annual journal, usually 80 pages with silkscreened covers designed by the artist Sherwin Tjia. Lickety Split is currently upping the ante in hopes of printing 4 times a year.

Furni! (Who's Coming?)

Meet FURNI:



"Started a little over 4 years ago by Devin Barrette and myself (Mike Giles), Furni began as a 'custom' furniture operation. Back then we cashed in our unemployment cheques and, tired of working for the “man”, decided to go it alone. Using our first deposit cheque to pay for tools we managed to rent a small shop and dig in...lucky for us Devin's cabinet making skills and my limited knowledge of design got us a good start. These days were are shifting focus more and more to exploring and creating our own designs, we’re still very hands on, from picking the rough lumber all the way to staining, finishing, boxing and shipping the final product. We are just a two man operation, but proud of the flexability and control it gives us over the end product. If you guys keep on buying we will keep on creating!"

Kevin Scalzo (Who's coming?)

Seems like a good time to tell you about some of the folks who'll be attending Pomme~Pomme next month. First up, is Kevin Scalzo. You've seen his illos in Bust and he's been featured in numerous art shows round the world. His style might be called "cute-brut". Kevin will have tees and paintings and comics for sale.
