Zine Subscription Service

Neither/nor offers a year subscription that is catered to your interests for $75/year (includes shipping)! You get to choose how frequently you receive your package of hand selected zines; each month, quarter, every 6 months, or once a year. You also have the option to go 🌟DELUXE🌟 for an extra $60 which means you get a Neither/nor tote bag, merch from Oddities Prints and other treasures from kc vendors and artists! Email [email protected] with your address to receive and order form (pictured below) in the mail (because snail mail is fun and maybe this means we can be pen pals too) OR I can send you info via the internet! This is a great way for out-of-towners and locals to get zines from KC and afar delivered straight to yr door! Your support also helps keep Neither/nor in operation <3 This also makes a great gift!!

November marks the 1 Year Anniversary of Neither/nor Zine Distro!! I'm so happy to share my love of zines with KC as well as give local zinesters a place to showcase their amazing work. This year I was proud to sponsor and table the 2nd KC ZINE CON, be a featured tabler at the St.Louis Small Press Expo, and table Omaha's 1st Zine Fest. My local zine selection has more than doubled and I can't speak highly enough about my 2 main wholesale sources for beautiful and radical zines and books Pioneers Press and Eberhardt Press. I feel so lucky to be sharing my love of DIY publishing with my city and am so grateful for the people who supply and and support small endeavors like Neither/nor. If at times we feel overwhelmed by the state of things I find hope in remebering that the creative diy communities we cultivate are acts of subversion against a society that wants to isolate and silence us. Thanks fam, here's to many more years of embracing our experiences and sharing them with each other. xo, Jess

STINK EYE DISTRO coming soon!!

Hey Everyone!

I’m so excited to announce that I will be starting up a small zine distro out of the Holy Cow Market and Music flea market located at 3109 Gillham Rd. Open Sundays 12-5. I’m planning on being open starting November 1st 

In addition to all of the zines I make I will have lots of great stuff from Pioneers Press and hopefully begin to build a comprehensive stock of local zines. (like the ones pictured below!!)

If you would like to sell your zines through the Stink Eye distro please email me and we can discuss the details! (this is not exclusive to KC folks, all are welcome to contact me about distributing your work in Kansas City!)

Local Featured Artist: Luke Rocha

From now until the convention (Aug. 29th) we will be providing you with sneak peaks of some of the local and regional zine artists that will be tabling the 1st KC Zine Con. Our roster is filling up fast, but there is still time to apply to table! Trust us, you’ll be in good company! Everyone, meet Luke Rocha!

Luke Rocha is a self-taught artist who creates sculptures, installations, publications, and collages from a wide range of found materials and media. Particularly interested in the lesser-known or underappreciated expressions and artifacts of specific cultures and subcultures, Rocha, a consummate collector, seeks to re-focus attention on these forms while bringing them into new dialogue with one another in the present.

Rocha’s work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions at several galleries throughout the Midwest. His illustration work has been featured in national publications including the magazines Riot, Wax Poetics, Rides, Studio Visit and others. His Zines have been featured and profiled in Juxtapoz and Art Forum.
