The lovely Heart & Lungs zine had a request for stories from the sea for issue 2. After a wee thought, kapp'n came to mind.
Kapp'n is a turtle who appears in the Nintendo game Animal Crossing. In the Game Cube version, when you attached your GameBoy Advance, you got access to an extra island, and kapp'n would gladly take you over on his little boat. He would sing sea shanties as you made your way across, about love or cucumbers (or ocassionally both). This morning Heart & Lungs issue 2 landed on my doorstep, and amongst the beautiful illustrations, interviews and stories, there inside is my ode to kapp'n.
You can purchase Heart & Lungs here, and even have a sneaky peak inside here. Go on.
This week I have been reading zines. The lovely Heart & Lungs, a joyful collection of illustration, information, advice, bears and beards.
And the delightful Green Bean, a super pretty insight into Katie Green Bean's new house, cake recipe, book reviews and super cute piglets.
I have also been knitting baby washcloths, from this great pattern from Kris Knits. As I currently have six pregnant friends, and there are only so many blankets and booties I can knit!
Speaking on new arrivals, on the roof of the tenements opposite, I have been watching a little seagull chick getting a little bit stronger and braver each day.
Surely it is time to fledge soon?
Last night we went to see the very funny & very lovely Josie Long. She not only gave out free zines with some great advice...
She also finished the gig in a beer garden nearby after running over time. Now that is being honourable.
