Throw Shapes, an online culture zine, has featured the Big Fag Press in its latest issue. You can read the article-cum-interview with Lucas and Kernow here. Please take any glorified or potentially silly statements we make with a grain of salt, woncha??
It also features news on the exciting new addition to the family, the Fagette, the BFP’s little sister.
The Fagette Duplicator, recently acquired “little sister of the big fag press” was launched last week at the LiveZine Printacular Event.
The night was a big success, we raised some sorely-needed funds to go towards paying off the machine, and a hilarious evening was had by all. See more pictures here.
The above picture shows Pam and Michael from Imagetec showing Sarah the ropes on the new riso machine. Imagetec sold us the printer, and have been super-supportive in helping us get it up and running, not to mention showering us with free accessories.
Incidentally, if anyone is interested and inspired to get involved, the Fagette still needs fund-injections to help get it on its feet. Please do get in touch if you’d like to give or lend us some cash to support DIY printing in Sydney!
The BIG FAG PRESS now has a little sister, the Fagette Duplicator. Where the BIG FAG is optimised for slowness, and bigness, the Fagette is super for quick and small. What’s more, it’s easy to use, and prints in a glorious array of multi-colour. Ya gotta see this baby in operation! Which brings us to…

Vancouver artist Geoffrey Farmer has just printed up a limited edition of poster prints on the Big Fag Press, entitled “Cockatoo Clock”.
It’s a poster for a sort of “fictional play” which happens (or maybe doesn’t happen) within the wall cavities of the Museum of Contermporary Art. The poster will be part of an installation at the MCA for the 2008 Sydney Biennale.
This was a 2 colour print, solid yellow with solid black overprinting, and a little cockatoo image in the bottom right hand corner. We printed an edition on fabriano paper, and a further small set of prints were done on heavy gloss coated stock.
See some more images of the print in progress, and the finished product…
