Sunflower Skins was birthed of Britani Sadovski’s fantastic delirium in the summer of 2005. Beginning as a small cut-and-paste project on her bedroom floor, Britani self-publishes Sunflower Skins chapbooks of stories, comics, and fragments, and has distributed them both professionally and guerrilla-style around the world. She works with her partner Thom Bacchus Roland. Britani has a B.A. in English Literature from Huron University College, and her style is heavily influenced by poetry, rhizomes, and visual presentation, as well as horror films, comic books, and various branches of philosophy. Currently she is working on a collection of Stupid Children’s Stories.
Distributors for Sunflower Skins have included Dustpiggies and McMoondog in England; jayveeaitch in Turkey; friends in Vancouver, Toronto, Saskatoon, New Jersey, California, and Florida; and Attic Books, Speed City Records, Vagrancy Films, Hanger 18, and Fanfare Books in Ontario. Also check coffee houses, library books, menus, street corners, and all places random; you might find one there, as well as in many zine libraries all over the world.
