CHIPRC Game Night in April: Catan, Brad Adita official pretzel distributor, Madison WI Radio host bobblehead, and a letterpress stamp with a secret message. Hope you can drop by future game night’s, they’re always different!

Our good friends at the Transit Residency sure throw one tasty fundraiser, Eat your Words an Edible Books event we hosted on April 1. Here are some of the entries and guests.

We were very lucky to host the women of OOMK zine(one of my kind) from London for a Chicago zinester meet and greet April 9th. Thanks to The Ladydrawers collective and Big Mouth comics distro for coordinating this event.

Two gems from January Game Night: from the junk drawer zine collection care of Eric Bartholomew we had Stop Thief; and from the collection of cartoonist Alex Ball we had Resistance. We Approve! Game Night's are the last Wednesday each month, see you then.

Happy Accidents was our first Riso graph workshop of 2017. Led by artist Jonathan Stutz, we created a zine of collected work drawn and printed on 1/21/17. Look for him to lead more workshops with us this year!
