New at Aquatic Panda Distro: Closeface! By Aunty

Closeface is a book of unsolicited advice for artists both new and experienced surrounded by reference drawings of strangers famous, infamous and unfamiliar. Created by Aunty Geraldine King Pennycandy, local loon and avid portraiture enthusiast, this zine is meant to give those struggling to find a starting point in their creative journey the courage to take that first risky step. Please enjoy the ramblings of this funky lil' face-lover amidst drawings of several old men, Steve Buscemi and more!

This zine is so much fun! It’s available now in our store. https://saturn2169.storenvy.com/products/36781895-closeface

Go show Aunty some love on Instagram

Found these really cool little wooden bins at Dollar Tree. They are the perfect size for mini zines!

Trying to raise some money to print the upcoming Bob's Burgers Fan Zine, so now is as good a time as any to pick something up from the Aquatic Panda Distro store. I've added a few new goodies including a handful of (slightly misprinted) t-shirts, my Filet Minion mini zine as well as my Gotta Go Bananas minion/Sonic mashup button. Or you can grab a zine from one of our awesone consignors. It's always a good day to discover a new artist!
