It depends on the situation. If I have the chance to ask, you know if it’s someone’s personal property, like their barn or something, I will to be respectful. But sometimes I want to go into places where asking for permission wouldn’t exactly be beneficial to me (because I’m probably not allowed inside in the first place), so I just take liberties and go anyway.</p> <p>I’ve found if you’re polite as hell to whoever you run into, most people won’t give you too much trouble.

My good friend <a href="http://smallgiants.tumblr.com" target="_blank">Jolee</a> and I came up with this beautiful little brainchild of a web-zine last October and we finally put the finishing touches on it and launched it today. Yip yip, this is exciting!! <br/><br/>THE JIST: It’s basically a zine that serves as a creative platform for artists of all kinds, writers, illustrators, photographers, poets, et cetera, et cetera. The first issue isn’t published yet, as it’s going to be a compilation of work submitted by anyone and everyone who feels like contributing! It’ll be coming early in February.<br/><br/>SO! If you make things, whether that be for your career or just to kill time on a Sunday afternoon, and want to see them published somewhere, check this out and get involved! <br/><br/>And sharing is caring, reblog this and tell all your friends, it’s going to become something great. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.thehoneycombcollective.net" target="_blank">THE WEBSITE</a> | <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thehoneycombcollective" target="_blank">THE FACEBOOK</a> </p>http://www.vanessadecouto.com/post/40209697083http://www.vanessadecouto.com/post/40209697083Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:52:00 -0500thehoneycombcollectivethe honeycomb collectivezineweb-zinevanessa decoutojolee kirkikisartists on tumblr
