The first issue of Art Dollz was published May 2003, but the idea and planning started much earlier.  Francie researched the zine world and was fascinated by the charm and personality of what she saw.  She, of course, decided on Art Dollz and has been loving it ever since!  She has a zine, a website, and a Yahoo group.

Sprinkles the zine started in the Summer of 2001 while I was unemployed.  I have always loved outsider art & artists books.  I slowly realized there were a lot of people out there creating zines.  Having two small children it was easier to create small bits of work than to concentrate on creating larger, more involved work.  I said to myself "I can do this"!  I liked the idea of something personnel going out into the world for all to see.  It was like being invited to an artists studio and being shown all their little secrets. To submit your artwork, poetry, musings, or "Sprinkles" email a tiff or jpg or send via email or snail mail before the 15th  of the preceding month.  Any submissions used will render a FREE copy of the zine published in.  For sending Sprinkles (the goodies in each issue) please email me for details at sprinklesthezine@aol.com
