THE KBB MAILCLUB! WITH KATE BINGAMAN-BURT

At the end of 2020, I started an every other month mailclub (The KBB Mailclub!) where subscribers receive a zine filled with two months of my daily purchase drawings as well as some of my iphone photographs, a bit of writing and a new sticker or print or something ridiculous that I found at Scrap here in town.

I hadn’t sent out zines in the mail since the early 2000s and this project feels like a big bowl of mac and cheese for me AKA I love it.

I print the zines in my community print space Outlet here in Portland.

Each zine is printed on a variety of colorful papers in a variety of colorful risograph inks. I want each mailing to feel like an explosion of drawings / writing / images and I want it to frighten and delight the other mail in your mailbox.

I have always loved sending and receiving mail, but since the pandemic, it just feels even more important and urgent to communicate and share in this slower and more personal way.

Yes, I post most of these drawings to my instagram, but damn, I really love sharing them in print via the USPS.

If you want to join the KBB Mailclub you can!

I want to send you mail!
