Besides the other fun things on my @laworldcon.bsky.social schedule I will be doing a demo in the fanzine lounge on the Ghost of My Friends signatures for the @journeyplanet.bsky.social issue. I decided to wait till after LA to release it so I can include more people in the fun! Saturday 3pm!

It is a blue background with the text Fanzine Lounge, Sara Felix Ghost of my friends demo Saturday 3pm. With photos of smashed signatures that look like ink blobs.

@journeyplanet.bsky.social call for entries! August 1st deadline. The Ghost of my friends is a signature album where the signer draws their signature on a folded piece of paper then folds it again so the ink makes a “ghost” image. Send us your signatures done in this style to be included!

A piece of paper with a crease down the center and a purple ink “ghost” created from folding the paper closed after the signature.

A brown signature on a crease folded to make a “ghost”
