Project: #GreetingsFromSikinos
We love Sikinos island so much that this summer of 2018, in our vacation there, we made original sketches on postcards of everyday life and spread them across the island on various locations. Some of those postcards were also send to friends and family via traditional mail.
Follow the hashtag on instagram, to check where to find one. Best of luck!
This is a work-in-progress project so we will continue doing this until there is nothing left to sketch :)

The Athens Zine Biblioteque
A new project & our participation in Traces of Commerce II (1/12/2014-15/03/2015)
Last Saturday (22/11/2014) was announced the teams that will participate in “Traces of Commerce II”. [To read more about the initiative Traces of Commerce, see here: tracesofcommerce.com.]. Like you maybe guess, we are one of the participating teams!
So yesterday we took the key of our given store in the Gallery of Merchants, Athens (store no. 4)! We are very excited to start creating our space and open soon!
With our proposal “Athens Zine Biblioteque”, for the next 3 ½ months (and maybe will be extended to 6 months), we will start a zine-library, collecting zines from around the world, focusing mainly on the field of architecture, design, photography and art. Everyone interested in zines is welcome to come and read the collection, send or bring us her/his zine and participate in “Athens Zine Biblioteque”’s activities (workshops, lectures, presentations, monthly zine of the Gallery of Merchants, and more). More details will be announced soon (library hours, workshops, etc).
Last but not least, to mention that we share the space with the project “ADD NOISE MEDIA LAB”, a library which focuses on new media art projects.
New issue! Release day: 4.04.2014
It’s about time for the 2nd issue of our “These are a Few of our Favorite Things” zine! (To see issue #1 click here.)
What’s the theme? Mmm… This time is all about Spata!
Spata (Greek: Σπάτα), is a town 20 kilometres (12mi) east of Athens, Greece. Spata is situated in the middle of the Mesogaia plain, east of mount Hymettus and west of the Aegean Sea coast. Athens International Airport (“Eleftherios Venizelos”) covers the eastern portion of Spata. The town proper is made up of residential neighborhoods. Farmland, mostly vineyards and olive groves, lie around. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spata)
With this photo zine we wanted to document the juxtaposition between the last years’ changes in the area (the construction of the International Airport “El. Venizelos” and the privately owned toll motorway “Attiki Odos”) with the everyday life of Spata’s town.
Price: 7€
A5, 40 pages, colored, double cover.
Edition of 50 numbered & digital printed copies.
