glimpse o zine

zine cover for the
august 2006 issue of
the hello pretty city
zine / bulletin / fit-in-your-
spare-change-pocket / friend.
next issue comes out
this october's first week.

{ may i send one to you?
if so, send a SASE to:
hello pretty city
po box 3933
albany new york 12203 }

i like to put copies in as many places
as possible. those certain places
definitely include:

central art supply, old house cafe,
spectrum movie theatres, the muddy cup,
albany public library on wash. ave,
upstate artists gallery and the
mcgreevy pro lab.

friday is "the great art close out"

it's not a gallery but
it's a lovely space and
tonight it will be hung
with art at the coolest prices:
number of hours to create
x $7.15 (minimum wage)
+ cost of materials
= price of the artwork!!!
friday, september 29
from 6:00pm until 10:00
at 83 third st in troy
(just down the block from
the daily grind.)
cash or check to buy,
two eyes to look!
