Tina's Tin Fish Thursdays

this is a zine I made for my bestie's bday :-) we would go to Tina's, a bar in Pittsburgh, PA, every Thursday and try a new fish on their menu every time we went. we documented our ratings for each fish (our favorite was the octopus). this was the first "book" I've ever made! its really a zine but I used an awl and I bound that sucker with thread & everything...

my original vision was to typewrite everything but I was using the local library's typewriter and that shit was so loud and ran out of ink so I had to ditch that idea. the textured green paper you see throughout is paper I made myself! I added green dye as well as rose petals. the sardine can is iridescent/reflective but looks strange upon scanning it. the scanner also made it look a lot less vibrant than it looks irl... images were printed at CVS because who the hell has a printer these days (if you know me and you own a printer please let me know I have So Many Ideas that require a printer).

featuring many doodles, paintings, stickers from my childhood sticker collection (I've been collecting them since I was 4 tehe), collages, images, glitter, textures, fabric, "stolen" boxes from the fish we were served, & even an original Tina's menu (hence the size/shape of the zine (please forgive us))!

my favorite page is the one where we're listening to music.. you can switch out the album we are listening to in the iPod (the albums are what we would typically be listening to together which would also typically be the music we would sing at our local gay bar's karaoke night). I made the screen with the clear plastic part of an envelope (where you would normally see your address). and I love the thread I added to mimic the headphones we are sharing hehe.

this was a lot of fun to make & took much time & love.

the library asked me to donate a version of this to their local zine collection but we shall see....

I'm a great fuck but better lover

Usopp was sitting at the table writing his letter to Kaya. He hadn't been able to pick her code name, stuck between buttercream and saffron, when Sanji came back from delivering snacks. He had been wondering why he had skipped him, but before he could bring himself to speak up about it, Sanji spoke.

“Usopp, do you want the special snack I promised you now or later?” Sanji asked.

“Now!” Usopp popped his head up from his letter to have something made special just for him! He was the only one who hadn't had anything special so far!

“Look what that old geezer sent me. It's my tin fish subcision,” Sanji placed a small open box on the table before taking a seat. “I know as a chef I could cook fresh fish, but these are not just from the east blue! They send you a curated box of four to five tins of fish from eatch sea, and the glandline isn't always included. So pick a tin, and we can try it together, and I'll make something from it,”

“I don't know anything about them, maybe tell me where thire from and then I'll pick,” Usopp didn't know much about different kinds of fish outside of the east blue.

“Sure!” Sanji eyes sparkled with excitement. “First we have from east blue a Markel in korma suace, west blue we have spicy muscles I know we have muscles here but these are a different species and are much larger and meater, south blue we have a coconut octopus in olive oil, the best olive oil comes from the south blue, and last we have Smoked herring from the north blue,”

“That one,” Usopp pointed to the herring it was the biggest tin after all. He wanted to get the most that he could out of the snack.

“Sure let's taste it first before deciding what to do,” Sanji put away the other tins. Usopp chose to look away from where the cook was hiding them. That way, he could deny ever seeing them if Luffy ever caught wind of their existence. “Here,” Sanji handed him chopsticks and opened the tin. “It should have a slight smokey taste and be flaky, “

Usopp tool the chopsticks and broke off a piece of the fish. It was good, of course, but he was more excited to see what Sanji would make.

“Hmm, I think I'll keep it simple and go with three different styles on top of crackers, sweet, spicy, and savory,” Sanji left the table, taking the tin with him. After rummaging around for he a bit, he came back with six large carkerks. “First the sweet, we have cloudberry jam,”

Usopp took the cracker and ate it. The sweetness and furitness from the jam worked well with the salty smoky fish.

“Next savory with banana peppers,”

Usopp ate the next one, “I like the Jam one better,” Not that he didn't like this one. “A little dry,”

“Mm your right. If I have cream cheese, I'd have added it, but this next one should be better. It has kimchi,”

“Qhats kimchi?” Usopp asked, taking a bite. “Mm it's good,” It was spicy, and Usopp liked spicy food.

“That Kimchi is cabbage, daikon radish and green onions, it's not very fremanted yet but still good, want some more kimchi?”

“Yes please,”

“Usopp, if you draw me more pictures of the crew with Mr. Noddles, we can keep doing this once a week. If Zeff keeps sending my subscription,”

“You've got a deal!” Usopp wanted to try the other fish.

“Hey, if you want you can borrow my fish book, I keep it in the kitchen so you can read it anytime you want,” Sanji offered him cleaning up thire snack while Usopp continued to eat the kimchi he had been served.

“Sure, the great capitan Usopp is an excellent fisherman! It couldn't hurt to know more about fish, I catch em and you cook em!” Usopp actually was a pretty decent fisherman if he did say so himself. Sanji chuckled and grinned, Usopp totally saw what Zoro saw in the blonde man. Wait, no! He didn't! He had Kaya back home!

A papercraft fish tin! I made this totally for fun, I've been wanting to do something like this for a while! It's all paper, save for the lil lemon label, that's a sticker!

It's salmon and lemon, nonsensical but just fun! I'm very happy with it!
