All my idols is the first volume zine created by creative collective PLUSMINUS under their new self-publishing label UNION PRESS. 30 artists - 80 pages - 600 editions. In their own words... "So we made a scrapbook of the stuff that we like with the people we rate. This isn’t a pretentious coffee table book that is never read, it’s a scrapbook, fanzine that should sit in your toilet or on your desk, be ripped up reposted and taken as a scrapbook should. Inspiration!" 

Toilet inspiration. The very best type. The event is RSVP only and there are only 50 tickets available to the public, so scan the QR code on the flyer above or send an email to union@plusminus.supply RIGHT NOW.
