Overdrawn illustrative Zine is a monthly mamltdart publication tackling an array of humorous topics through original illustrations that can be detached and framed as inexpensive art pieces. SNAPSHOT ISSUE #1: Let the Church Say Amen is all about church ladies and their typo laden bulletins... here's where the story begins: "Every week @ A.M.E. Christ of King United Church, West Road to Nowhere, USA, a member of the bulletin ministry headed up by Sister Mable-Marie Atoung-Ting Johnson types up the weekly HF+B, aptly titled A.M.E.C.K.U.M. Hellfire + Brimstone to be read to the congregation by Sister Johnson. They aren’t the best typists but Lord knows, it sure wakes you up after one of Pastor Jack’s sermons! And last week was no different..." This project is finally ready for mass taste testing! I’m super excited and scared all at once! My Amen Corner found it fabulous as did the initial focus group. I’m so anxious to find out what you think that I might lose my cookies. oh…the feeling in the pit of my stomach.  This is the full printed version of zine that will be mailed to you, so that you can detach and frame the pieces! I really hope you will and that it makes you laugh as much as it has everyone whose read it thus far.
