For the past year or so<\/strong> I\u2019ve been working on this little side project that I\u2019ve been meaning to write more about \u2014 a zine called Pink Mince<\/a><\/i>. I was waiting to see how it went, and whether or not it would be something that I\u2019d stick with for a while. Now that it\u2019s been a year and I\u2019ve cranked out 4 issues, an offshoot line of 4 mini-zines, and have the next couple of issues well underway it seems safe enough to declare it\u2019ll keep going for a while. Besides, I\u2019ve just invested so much on printing and reprinting that it has to or I\u2019ll be up shit creek.<\/p>\n It\u2019s mostly gay stuff, but it\u2019s also a lot less straightforward than that. The standard tagline is that Pink Mince<\/i> is \u201cfor the confirmed bachelor of exceptional taste\u201d, but I\u2019ve also described it as \u201ca journal of contemporary typeface design illustrated with pictures of dudes\u201d. My pithy mission statement from its Facebook page says: \u201cWe aim to delight, titillate, amuse, provoke, and inspire. (That is to say: we feature jokes and blokes, possibly with a point behind it all.)\u201d It\u2019s also about wanting to make something that tactile instead of just another image on a screen. And it\u2019s about getting to feature contributions from a lot of amazingly talented other people. It\u2019s a lot of things, but mostly it\u2019s fun to do.<\/p>\n But like any print publication, it can be hard to seduce people into taking a gamble and coughing up a bit of coin to check it out. But trust me: there\u2019s something real nice about holding it in your hands and taking it slow. Try it.<\/a><\/p>\n So yeah, I actually have a lot more to say about what it\u2019s been like to do all this, but that will take a little more reflection. For now, though, word continues to spread and interest continues to bubble up, so why don\u2019t you check out the awfully kind things that these other gentlemen have had to say so far: Gym Class Magazine<\/a>, Sturtle<\/a>, SUNfiltered<\/a>, We Made This<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For the past year or so I\u2019ve been working on this little side project that I\u2019ve been meaning to write more about \u2014 a zine called Pink Mince.
