Cut out your own Static Zine bookmarks
Haven’t you found yourself reading a book recently and in desperate need for something more than a receipt or scrap paper to hold your page? You want something else that will make you smile when you open that book, don’t you. Yes you do.
In Issue 2, you’ll find cut-out-your-own-bookmarks made by Tom Lowery. Well those weren’t the only two he designed. In fact, we have so many bookmarks scanned here for you now that you’re pretty much set for the rest of your good eyesight part of life!
Each one is original and quirkier than the next. We had a lot of fun looking over them all and pretty much wanted to keep them to ourselves forever and ever, but scanning them here for you seemed like a much better idea.
Some of our favourites:
“Surrender your first born to Static Zine”
“Static Zine is better than season 1 of the X-Files”
“Aliens are real, so is Static Zine!”
… and so on.
