My zine was a hit! Good thing I brought more copies 😊
Also some of the many projects at Fun-A-Day this year.

After scrambling Halloween night to try to remember how I formatted my past zines, & being so tired, & not mingling with hardly anyone at Philly Zine Fest the next day, I've decided that I will be doing Zine-A-Day 2026 for my Fun-A-Day project this coming January.
I've had so many ideas before,
& after discovering some zine YouTubers for some more insight, my brain exploded with even more ideas.
I'm just not going to go as crazy with it like I did last year with Film-A-Day. The days in January I go to a show or paint, that will be my fun for that day. Last year I managed to have 31 movies & 31 "things" for each, in addition to shows & whatever else. It was a lot of fun, but I was exhausted. While I want to dedicate time to making more zines, I'm not going to let it consume me & make 31 separate ones for each day. I might make simple short ones some days, & I might make more in-depth ones that take a few days to produce.
Any which way, I'm excited to create, & determined to see this daily zine project through.

"Orange Moon, Black Sky, over Coney Island on July 23, 2021."
8" x 10" acrylic on canvas
It's not my best work. It's been several months since I painted anything. I had a small canvas I messed up, so when I had a small "sip n paint" with my niece & nephew a couple of months ago, I painted the flubbed canvas black, & tried to make a painting based on a photo I took a few years ago in NY. I just finished it. I don't love it, but I don't hate it either. I just need to paint more.
I used metallic gold paint for reflective purposes, & tried to catch that in the second photo with lighting. The third pic is the reference photo I used.

“I LIKE ART. IT’S ANOTHER WAY TO REBEL.” 🎨⚡
— John Waters 👑

Whether it’s film, fashion, or fine art, John Waters shows us that rebellion isn’t just loud—it’s clever, bold, and unapologetically original. 💥✨

F**k yeah Philly 🎉🎆
After that poor kid died from falling off the pole and that awful plane crash in my old stomping grounds, Philly deserved this win 💚💚💚💚💚💚

I'm really not.
If anything I'm just a dabbler who likes to make stuff

I hate it when people say, “I’m an artist.”’ — John Waters
Because if you have to say it… are you really? Let your work do the talking.

So that concludes my Fun-A-Day posts for this year. Here is my set-up at Studio 34 Yoga Healing Arts.

Night 2 of the Fun-A-Day Community Art Show is tonight from 5-10, performances begin at 7.

There will also be a Fun-A-Day Closing Ceremony on Sunday March 30th.

January 31st's Film-a-day was the 2010 Action-Comedy "N**e Nuns with Big Guns."

TW: mention of r*pe & SA

What do you get when you cross a movie about a drug & prostitution ring within a Catholic church doing business with a local gang of thugs?
You get this sh*ttastic movie. The entire idea is just ridiculously over-the-top & laughable, & the one-liners are great. I will say though that there is a lot of r*pe & SA, as well as graphic violence & s*x scenes, so it may be triggering to some folks, esp the r*pe & SA part. While it wasn't triggering for me personally I still had to turn away at times because it was too much. The lead he**ine of the story, Sister Sarah, has had enough of this bu****it. Overall I liked it minus the excessive SA.
They left it open for a sequel, but don't hold your breath because it's been 15 years, I don't think it's happening.
