The Last Zine Sezession will be a commemoration of the book-fair age; it was great while it lasted, but we feel the end is nigh—so, come in black!

Rollo Press announces the release of a new bootleg, produced in collaboration with and as a contribution for “The Book Show”, organised by Eastside Projects in Birmingham. Due to a problem at Rollo Press’ Risograph’s paper feed unit, we decided to switch technology for once, and xerox the infamous Xerox Book, which originally was produced on a Xerox, but multiplied using offset. To get a xeroxed copy of this book, please visit The Book Show, which is on until September 4th, 2010, and bring a book from your own collection to swap.

Rollo Press is pleased to announce the release of it’s first artist edition, Zürich Ruins My Nerves by Hamburg based Stefan Marx. The piece is a reinterpretation of a watercolour drawing Stefan did a few years back when his computer died during a stay in Zürich.
The new version of the piece was realised using the Risograph for overprinting sheets of watercolour paper that Stefan pre-treated with an airbrush set. Thereby, each of the twelve drawings has it's uniquely coloured background whereas the black part always stays the same.
Original airbrushed artwork
So, dear people from in and around Zürich, dear fans of FC Basel, dear working poor searching for a flat in the little big city, dear sufferers from the financial crisis created by some local bankers (amongst others), dear design students on the quest for an internship, dear Argovians, dear bicycle drivers in one of the city’s many one way streets, dear beer drinkers trying to get a pint for under 5 Swissfrancs and dearest rest: We all know Zürich ain’t that bad, but sometimes it just ruins our nerves!
