objectheadzine: The theme of the ninth Object Head Zine is “HISTORICAL FICTION”.Whether you’re swashbuckling against pirates on the high seas, flirting with a shy noble across the royal court, or partying up at the busiest speakeasy - history awaits you in the new Object Head Zine! This topic is a little open ended: so long as your object head is historically accurate to the time period, it can be whatever you like!This book will feature 25 people I’ve selected, plus 35 open slots available to the public for a total of 60 participants!
