    Cool OTCA Magazine

    Hi,
    I thought it would be a great idea each week or month to create an OTCA magazine containing key news and stuff from the forums. I drew up a quick sketch which can be seen on my Flickr page. Please support this as we can showcase collections each week and list good deals by members; basically a summary of events.
    Here is my Flickr photostream: (also art pics and collection pics)

    Also, check out my art! (lol free advertising)

    griffin used to print/distribute club newsletters back in the day. But that was before we had an online forum -- now all news, sales, reviews, art etc. gets posted here. Saves more trees. griffin has uploaded the old newsletters in The Ark section of the board, so you can check 'em out there.

    But still... A printed magazine is really cool when you think about it! if only once a year to summarize the year. But, I think the online newsletter is the way to go, I think it helps alot of new people.

    Griffin does a regular e-newsletter summarising what's new and happening. But time pressure delays it sometimes but he puts a good effort into it.

    It's not a bad idea but personally I'd rather keep trying to get a Ozformers Collections book done and self published via a book making service like Blurb or something similar. Again though comes down to time.
