Crap Hound #7

I've been volunteering at Reading Frenzy for about a year now. Its a sweet gig and a good change from my 9 to 5. Its an independent bookstore in downtown Portland that sells magazines, zines, fiction, non-fiction, art books, alt comics and it hosts art shows monthly. Chloe Eudaly owns and runs it. She just released a new issue of Crap Hound. Here's some info about it:



Debuting in 1994, Crap Hound became a favorite of both zine readers and publishers, and has received enthusiastic reviews from sources including The New York Times Magazine, RE/Search Books, the American Institute Graphic Arts, and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.



Crap Hound #7: Church & State. This is the first all new issue of Crap Hound in nine years! Featuring 96 pages of glorious religious and patriotic imagery! Despite the nearly decade stretch between new issues, editor Sean Tejaratchi has been dutifully culling the choicest hight-contrast art, lovingly lifted from vintage catalogs, advertising, obscure books, and found ephemera.

Here are some interviews with Sean and reviews of previous issues:

• Crap Hound #5 on Boing Boing
• Crap Hound #5 on PingMag
• Crap Hound #5 on Portland Mercury
• Crap Hound #6 on Powell's Books
• Crap Hound #6 on Low Inertia

Stop by and say hi if yer in the neighborhood. I'm there on Monday afternoons.
