Zine Collective and Internet Shop
So, as many of you may know the state of the world has been…. quite horrific. The (increasingly) nightmarish direction the country has been going is upsetting. But we will fight, we will vote, and we will not give up. This is not OK.
Now, for the day-to-day woes, we have stickers for that! Coco Spencer-designed stickers and posters are now in the webstore. Check ‘em out!
IT’S HERE!
Mxn-about-town (writer, curator, artist, barista), RYANAUSTIN DENNIS is combining our love for print with his love for words and we are making a 15 week poster project! Each poster is numbered (by its week), and will be released every Monday starting October 8th and continuing on through the rest of the year. The best part is the posters are FREE (if you’re Bay Area local ;))
Pick up locations are: Open Cafe and Wolfman Books both in Downtown Oakland. Get them while you can, supplies will not last!! All posters are 11x17 risograph printed on 67# gray bristol cover.
If you are not local, or would like the poster collection in full, we will plan to have a limited selection on sale in the webstore in the beginning of 2019.
Can’t wait for you to see them! We’re having a blast.
We will be at this Good Omen Market, but this time as a vendor! We are so stoked to be a part of this.
Soo many great artists and makers (and food and music!). Hope to see everyone there! Saturday 10/6!
We have totes! They’re new and cool and #branded.
Check the webstore for all of our new things.
We are happy to ship or you can even come pick up if you’re local!
Thank you so much to Poppy Press for helping us bring our screenprinting dreams to reality.
Have any tote or clothing ideas? Send us an email, we’d love to collab. irrelpress@gmail.com

We made a new zine! It's actually entirely by Jesse Prado, he just doesn't know it yet!
A collection of our favorite tweets of his, wrapped in a soft touch cover and made with lots of love. All proceeds go straight to man himself. If you're looking for some dry, not laugh-out-loud content check this one out!
Coming soon to a Wolfman Books near you. 50 pages of life affirming content put together by Ali Giordani.
5.5x7.25, blue spiral bound on 100% PCW Recycled 70lb Ingenuity text and 80lb French Paper Construction Brick Red Cover.
"Press Play is a book and music fair celebrating the merits of independent publishing and the dissemination of the arts through publication, recorded sound, and their expanded mediums."
We're starting off August with a jam packed weekend at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn.
Friday Aug 3, 7-10pm: Opening night concert with sounds from members of Girlpool, Palehound, Discwoman, and more
Saturday Aug 4, 12-11pm: Press Play Fair, featuring zines, books, panels, workshops, discussions
Saturday Aug 4, 7-10pm: Closing night concert with Sun Ra Arkestra
Sunday...we'll probably decompress at the beach if the rain ever stops
Blue Garden is a small collection of cyanotype scans done by Coco Spencer. This zine is a 5x7 12-page size riso printed in blue on fancy Colorplan paper! They're all scored and folded, now time to try to sew these babies...wish us luck!
Mollie's got something in the works.
Palmistry, Crop Circles, and Astrology are completed. What should be next? Pyramids? Handwriting analysis? Conspiracy theories??
The idea is: different paper colors, two different riso ink colors, all the same size/folding/layout but a small learning experience (for myself and hopefully also the reader!) $3 each and eventually a pack of 5 or so for $10.
FYI we had a great time at #PMZF last weekend! We met great people, had some drink(s) and hung out in the beautiful backyard of Pete's Candy Store.
Looking for something to do this weekend? We're got ya covered!
SATURDAY
We'll be tabling this year's PMZF! Come hang out.

If you live in the East Bay you know ISSUES Magazines.
They have been off of Piedmont Ave. for 11 years and have been the go-to hub for magazines (popular and rare), used books, and print enthusiasts for over a decade. With changing times come changing business, but it is important, if not vital, to keep stores/families like this alive. Issues was happy to sell a large selection of our zines and has such an awesome, thorough selection of indie publishers and makers (crafts, jewelry, cards). If you have the means we highly suggest you check out their Indiegogo. Donations go directly to their move/survival and are rewarded with dozens of cool offers, including but not limited to movie tickets, signed books, original art, ISSUES swag and more.
Please do whatever you can to KEEP ISSUES IN OAKLAND
Thank you <3
