ZINES! ZINES! ZINES! ZINES! ZINES! ZINES! ZINES! ZINES! ZINES! ZINES! ZINES! ZINES! ZINES! ZINES!
A zine is a self-published project, usually smallish and cheap to distribute. I’ve made several of them and use them as a way to connect with others. In a time where it’s rare to actually own anything, it’s comforting to know my silly drawings can exist in a physical space, even if that physical space is being lost between bigger books or stuck in your couch cushions!
I also use zines as an excuse to travel! I have tabled at…
- New Orleans Comics and Zines Festival ’17 and ’19
- Denver Zine Fest ’18
- San Diego Zine Fest ’18
- Alaska Robotics Minicon ’19
And you will be seeing me at…
- Portland Zine Symposium (tabling saturday only!), July 20th, 2019
- Gender Unbound Arts Festival in Austin, TX, September 21-22
