r/zines

one day, a very small moomin decides to pack his bags and travel the world. He has entrusted me with chronicling his adventures.

I've always been too intimidated to try something larger than the one sheet, eight pages mini zine. ​​I'm giving it a shot now though! Here's the cover. My plan is to make the pages, scan them, and find a printer that can print on both sides (library?) then staple together. ​​​​Should be easy enough, right? ​

I feel like this is the quintessential zine topic imo! Here's my take on the riot grrrl scene ❤️

this is based on the song “altered states” by current joys :) just fine liners and watercolors,,

Hi there! I'm really nervous to share on here but I wanted to share my first zine from 2022, Zings from my main series. I started SSRIs around then and it kickstarted the zine process. I always felt like I wasn't good enough to make one, only to contribute to submissions but one of the many joys of zines are that there are no rules and not needing permission so once I started, I couldn't stop. I use my typewriter and photos to weave in imagery and memoir. Themes range from trauma, gender, chronic pain, nature and NSFW stuff.

Maybe we've seen one another around zine fests in the PNW. Thanks for reading!

Wow, this was SUCH a dope experience! It was my second time ever tabling out-of-state and it was so cool. It was noce just being around other black creatives and obviously - being in NYC for the first time. It was a bit surreal.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to explore the terrifyingly prophetic nature of Nirvana’s lyrics when applied to modern digital culture. Specifically how we've traded our privacy for convenience and offloaded our critical thinking to algorithms.

The concept is a speculative, alt-history artifact: What if Kurt Cobain was looking at our current tech landscape through the lens of early '90s apathy and anti-consumerism?

It explores the "anemic royalty" of having infinite info but no control, ending with a heavily ironic meta-joke about the zine itself pointing to a Spotify playlist.

A cute little mini zine featuring sketches from my trip to the Milwaukee County Zoo after I tabled at Milwaukee Zine Fest!

TRIGGER WARNING for pic 9 heavy Epstein Files

I'm really happy how it turned out and maybe you will like it too. but i hope my concept doesn't seem confusing but please give feedback if it is...

english isn't my first language so excuse any mistakes there might be, but please give me feedback for my writing

its A5 and it took quite some time to craft and an entire glue stick and lets not talk about the time it took to cut out the letters xd

I recently did a swap with a mail club and instead of a letter, she sends little newspaper zines. It's honestly so cool. I had to share here.
