About Me

I'm Laura a 28 year old, from a little town in Yorkshire, England, which is where I live with my cat mog..

Favorite Music

I LOVE listening to music, lots of different types and am always looking for new stuff to listen to.

Recently I've been listening to a lot of:

Robots in Disguise, Hot Chip, Syd Barrett, Jose Gonzalez, Daniel Johnston, Scream Club, Nicky Click, Rage Against the Machine, Lemon Jelly, Moldy Peaches, The Vaselines, Le Tigre, Goldie Lookin Chain, Distillers, Dizee Rascal..

Favorite Books

Into my social science fiction..

So stuff like: 1984 by George Orwell, Oryx and Crake by Margaret Attwood, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, The Crysalids by John Wyndham..

Also fantasy:

Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin, Lirael by Garth Nix, Northern Lights by Phillip Pullman, The Black Magician Series by Trudi Canavan..

Comics / Graphic Novels:

Tankgirl, Maus, Sandman, Persopolis, X-Men..

Favorite Movies

Man on the Moon, Jumper, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Twelve Monkeys, Disney's Robin Hood..

Favorite Crafts

Altered Art and Zine making... I use a lot of old images either from books or photographs or magazines, I use seed beads a lot and buttons as I sew..

I'm trying to improve my lino printing and learn how to make handmade stamps right now.

I can turn my hand to a lot of things as I was brought up in a very crafty family..

Love art also- drawing things for zines and making small pieces of artwork for friends and family..

Zines

I write illustrated perzines usually or make art zines.

My two recent zines are:

Briefcases: which is about an experience in hospital.

Autonomy: A zine about autism, self advocacy and discrimination.

Haven't Recieved Something?

I will not flake.. If you don't receive something from me, then its got lost in the post- if you don't receive something please contact me by private message.

Also if anything is wrong with the swap I've sent you or it didn't meet requirements, before you rate a 1 or 3, contact me and I'll try fix any mistakes I made.

I have a disability that affects my understanding of language and although it's very unlikely I will make mistakes because I go through things so many times- it is possible as with anyone.
