See you in 2015
Thank you everyone for your support this year! Thanks to all of you, we raise $90 total this year for the Rape & Domestic Violence Services, the ACT Domestic Violence Crisis Service and the Domestic Violence Prevention Centre Gold Coast.
If you're still keen to pick up the zine, it's available for free online here, or I'll be taking them around with me to markets and conventions again in 2015.
Have a safe and wonderful holiday and an even better 2015.

COLOURFANTASTICA KICKSTARTTER CAMPAIGN!
Keep your eyes open for a reblog campaign coming up in a few days! Wow, I can’t believe it, it’s actually happening, peoples!!
A FULL COLOUR anthology by some amazingly talented Australian lady comic makers, including our Alisha Jade! Go check it out :D
You guys! Yes|No (pinup zines about consent) - and amazing #YesAllWomen pins - raised $15 for Rape & Domestic Violence Services at #SydNova! http://t.co/ikajXqDRmK
If you want an e-copy of the zine, you can get it here. https://t.co/MZ8hdGnR4y Pay what you want; all monies go to the most inclusive, supportive domestic violence charities we can find.
And here's what we've made from online donations! Thanks you all for your moral and monetary support. :)
You can get your free (or donation) copy of YES | NO here. Or you can submit your own work for the zine here.
Thank you
I went to Other Worlds zine fair last weekend, and there was a lot of support for the zine. Most of the donators were male-identified folk, and many gave more than the suggested gold coin ($1-2) donation.
I’ve made the online payment now, and here’s the receipt for the donations made to http://www.dvcs.org.au !
(We chose DVCS because it is the most inclusive local organisation - we want to make sure we are supporting an organisation that actively supports people of all genders, beliefs (or lack thereof), and family backgrounds.)
You can get the e-zine version here and donate what you like for it: https://gumroad.com/l/YES-NO
OR
you can send us a copy of a receipt for donating to your local domestic violence organisation, and we will email you a copy of the zine!
If you’d like to contribute to the next volume of Yes|No, check out SpAE’s post here: http://boundariescomic.tumblr.com/post/82720502940/submission-kit-for-yes-no-the-digital-zine
Thanks to SpAE for editing this zine, and thank you for your support.
And many thanks to Emma and the ACT Comic Meet, who've been bringing this zine around to great cons in Australia.
This is a bit late, but ajadeart and I collected $15 in donations at Supanova Gold Coast last month in exchange for copies of boundariescomic's YES | NO zine!
I wanted to donate to a service that was local to the convention and their donation system only took donations in lots of $10, so I threw in an extra bit to even it out.
A few people who bought a copy of the zine shared their stories of what had personally happened to them at conventions. At least one congoer told us that harassment stopped her from going to cons in the ’80s entirely. We’re so glad she’s more comfortable coming to cons now, but we know it can always get better!
Thank you himesan and ajadeart!!
SUBMISSION KIT - for YES | NO the digital zine!
So I've talked about this before, but finally...
For those who want to check out the zine first, here's where you can download it.
WHAT IS IT?
YES | NO is a zine celebrating consent. There's a bit of background on the zine as a whole here. The digital version isn't too different from the previously self-published print - the event that started it may be over, but we want to continue to make the zine available to everybody.
Added bonus: since we're distributing it digitally, we can now continue to accept submissions from everyone who wanted to join in but couldn't beat our crazy deadline - and publish all these extra submissions with everyone who wasn't there at the event!
The digital zine will be updated periodically as we receive submissions from people. Once you have bought the product, you've bought all the updates to it too - I'll be emailing everyone who downloads the zine, as we update it. Unless you choose to not receive updates.
WHAT CAN I SUBMIT?
Artwork, comics and prose or poetry of up to 1000 words.
Please include trigger or content warnings that may be relevant to your submission. We may refuse to publish anything without an appropriate warning.
I'm currently accepting content that would normally receive an MA15+ rating under the OFLC. Please feel free to email me if you're planning a more explicit submission, but we may need to publish your submission with a warning.
SUBMISSION SPECS
TEXT: Please keep all submissions to 1000 words or under. Once reviewed, I will be dumping any text into the zine as I receive it - so if you do have a specific layout in mind, please provide the text in that layout!
ARTWORK: open size*; JPEG, PNG, GIF, or PSD formats only; colour accepted!
We can finally take submissions in colour or black and white!
*This is a digital zine, so I will be leaving the size open to your choice. However, anything larger than 2500px square will likely be re-sized for the e-zine, and if your submission is too small to view comfortably I may ask you for a larger version so we can all enjoy it!
For those who are interested, the submission template for the previous print version is available here. While you are welcome to submit using this template in case we do do another print version, that's not in the cards at the moment.
At the moment I am not taking submissions by post, sorry :(
WHEN WILL YOU PUBLISH SUBMISSIONS?
On an ad-hoc basis - as we get enough to update the zine. On that same note, there's no deadline!
IS THIS STILL A CHARITY THING?
Yes! At this update, any and all proceeds made from the online version will go to the Domestic Crisis Violence Service ACT (http://www.dvcs.org.au/). However, if you know of a charity that you think deserves our support, please email me to let me know! If you would prefer to support a charity local to you, then please do so and download the zine for free.
WHERE DO I SUBMIT TO?
Email spae @ spaemakesart dotcom or leave a link to your submission in the ask page here.
Please let me know how you would like to be credited! We very much welcome pseudonyms and anonymous submissions.

Supanovaaaa!
Supanova Gold Coast was great. I had an awesome table mate (even though we totally squished way too much on the table since we both had new stuff!) and met some wonderful people.
We had the Yes/No zine on display, and I had prints of my Sweater series. The number of women who looked at those prints and bought one or stayed to have a chat was amazing. I think I sold out of the “I don’t require your approval” bookmarks. We had a number of donations for the zine, including from a lovely lady who told us “this is why I stopped going to these events in the 80s”. It really brought home what this means to people and how important it is to continue promoting it.
I never knew people could make their own comics (especially girls) before my first supanova, where I met Rebecca Clements. I always wonder if I would have started without that event. I was always drawing but not comics before that. This is what really keeps me going back to conventions - what if our presence is that click for even one of the girls who stop at our table? The thought makes it worth while.
Plus you know fangirls are the best and cons are a great place for them!
Ladies in comics, go go!
And finally the digital version is up! :)
This is a pay-what-you-want product - you are welcome to download this for free. Any payment made will go straight to charity.
This product will be updated periodically as we receive submissions from artists. I will be emailing everyone who downloads this zine, whenever we update it. If you don't want to receive the update emails, please hit the unsubscribe button when you purchase the zine.
Where your donation goes
At this update, any and all proceeds made from the online version will go to the Domestic Crisis Violence Service ACT (http://www.dvcs.org.au/). However, if you know of a charity that you think deserves our support, please email me to let me know!
What you get with this download
8 beautiful pinups by very talented Australian zine and comic artists, in one handy PDF
APRIL 2014 VERSION: This digital zine collates both of the hardcopy versions sold at the CZE Canberra Zine Fair 2014.
And yet another submission for YES | NO, from the most impressively fast ajadeart - for everyone who's seen the gorgeous pencils but hasn't gotten to see these inks yet. A very cool play on "bad girls and good girls".
And with that I'll be posting up where to download the digital version by this weekend. :)
sketchbookscribbles' piece: Dancing is not consent. I always admire how detailed and cool his work is - was staring at that intricately drawn outfit for a while when I first saw this!
One of the two stunning centrefolds for the comic, by eles-eyes (see also - this hilarious concept art, dudebros)
Dressing "provocatively" is not consent.
Today's illustration comes from Bane Flame. Trippy.
"I've changed my mind," means NO.
Another piece in the YES | NO Consent zine, by the fabulous emmajeans (who actually got two pieces done in time!). This one always struck a chord with me and was very proud to see it in the zine.
Wowwww, Supanova Gold Coast is next weekend! I’ll be sharing a table with ajadeart in the Artist Alley (Independent Press Zone) - find us at table 30! :D
I am selling SO MUCH STUFF. I’ll have my new sketchbook, all 4 issues of Noble Rot zine and my original comic Follow My Lead. I’ll also have our group BL artbook, comics and zines by RAE, allthesmuts and boundariescomic and merchandise from otomesway and room801au.
I’ll be accepting credit as well as cash, and as part of a trial I’m running at cons this year, you can buy my comics and zines using Dogecoin. Exciting!
Woooow! Two of the magnificent artists in our zine, with the zine AND a ton of their excellent work. *_*
My submission for boundariescomic, aka YES | NO! This image is completely and utterly based on the shared experience of many female comic creators, with a side of a Twitter exchange many of us witnessed this week. (Does that make this a subcomic?)
The print deadline is in… well, about an hour, but spae is still taking submissions for a digital version. Go go go! :D
A metacomic?
Also *_* Despite the subject matter this is a beautiful thing and I can’t stop gushing over the artwork
For the next week, I'll be posting all the beautiful artwork we got for the YES | NO zine...in preparation of finally posting the e-book online! Everyone who missed out on the market will finally be able to see what beautiful work we had. :)
To start us off, here's one that I've posted before but is still one of my favourites.
SpAE has written about the reasons she decided to put together the Yes|No boundaries zine, over at boundariescomic.tumblr.com, and I was honoured to help out. If you missed my endless retweets, here’s the skinny:
A local zine fair was named something… unfortunate. I choose to believe that they were unaware of the connotations when they chose the name, but the salient fact is that they chose not to change their name when people raised concerns.
Rather than protest with our absence, 9 days before the fair, SpAE suggested making a zine full of black and white pinups by comic artists and illustrators, explaining and depicting the finer points of consent. The zines would be available in exchange for a gold coin ($1 or $2) donation to the ACT Domestic Violence Crisis Service.
We ended up with two small zines (there were two amazing artists who submitted centrefold pieces!), and at the end of the day, we raised $30 for DVCS - which we are remarkably pleased with.
But this is just the beginning.
If you would like an electronic copy of the zine - which compiles both volumes of the hard-copy - donate some money (any amount! It all helps!) to your local domestic violence/crisis support service. Take a screen shot of your donation or forward your receipt to act.comic.meet at gmail.com, and I will send you the zine.
SpAE is still accepting art for the electronic version, which will be an ongoing project.
We chose the ACT DVCS because they are a feminist-informed organisation that provide a range of support to all people (it is not restricted to any particular gender or orientation), and because they are not affiliated with any religious groups. HOWEVER, please feel free to whichever organisation that is doing good work in this field, close to where you are. Also: please support the contributing artists!

I can't summarise it any better than this. THANK YOU, EVERYONE. Your support made the zine and event a success.
I'll be posting information about the digital version soon. Thank you again!
