Another one of the 'zines that I subscribe to arrived yesterday. This one is the East Village Inky which was launched in 1998 by Ayun Halliday when she lived in a small apartment in, you guessed it, east Greenwich Village, NYC. I first learned about Inky in this NY Times article which discussed zinesters who create their publications in unlikely places. Ayun Halliday is an immensely creative person who has since moved away from the east village, but continues to create and publish her 'zine entirely by hand. Each issue is a 40 or so page glimpse of life in NYC, or some designated topic thereof. This most recent issue 69 covers fashion, while previous editions have touched on topics as varied as the US Post Office, Kurt Vonnegut, or NYC museums. In each issue, Halliday's imaginative and fun-loving spirit comes through loud and clear, making it a rare treat to read, while building the anticipation of the next issue. Oh, and she has a really nifty bear coat, too.
