Happy Birthday
So after 12 months of working on The Financially Hard Times, I have decided to call it a day. Having produced 12 issues over the past year, I am so chuffed with how far the zine has come on, but now want to work on other works and projects.
From being left like escorts flyers around Dalston, to eventually being stocked in shops around the UK, I feel the last year has been a huge success considering it has all been made within my bedroom.

I could not have done it with out certain people/events/shops.
So (in no order whatsoever) Thank You Alex Zamora / Andrew Lester / Camden Zine Fair / Beth Siveyer / Good Press Gallery / Jon Horner / No Guts No Glory / Caribou Caravan / Cath Elms / Dalston Stationers / Nathan Stubbs / Jimi Gherkin / Igor Thermenon / Rebecca Lanyon / Sheffield Zine Fair / Vicki Psaris / Bookmarks Bookshop / Salford Zine Library / Jean McEwan / Whirly Gig Collectives / Jaap Biemans @CoverJunkie / Anyone who reviewed a copy and especially anyone who bought a copy or two.
I have enjoyed making the zine and loved having the chance to meet others who are excited and enthusiastic about their work.

FHT Review
The very kind Igor Thermenon recently reviewed issue 10 of The Financially Hard Times, as part of his Sunday Zine Review. The blog, brilliantly titled, The Rain Will Remain is a collection of Igor's photo's and the more recent zine reviews.
If you want your zine reviewed on the Sunday Zine Review, just send Igor a message to igortermenon@gmail.com. You can see the review here on his fantastic blog.
In other news, the delightful Jaap of Cover Junkie has featured the FHT on his website. Cover Junkie is 'a celebration of creative covers and their ace designers'.
I am truly honoured. Have a butchers here.
