Zine-in-a-Day Zine (2014)


 
Zine-in-a-Day Zine (2014)
As the title suggests, this is a zine I challenged myself to make in one day. At the time, it was difficult to find zinesters who hadn't been in the game for 20 years and/or weren't super intimidating. The self-published comics scene was hot, though, so I started this zine by drawing a mermaid and ended up with a fairytale about lesbians in space. Folded one-pager completely hand drawn and written in black and white.

Give us the album!: Carly, Queen of Tease

It's been nearly 4 years, and the Queen of Tease has given us a b-side ep, three individual songs, and an epicly cute music video, but we still wait for the announcement of a new album. However, Carly has graced us with a clue that the announcement of a release date is upon us, and it it seems appropriate that on the eve of this most anticipated moment that I would finally write a few words about the best album of the decade, E*MO*TION , and one of my new all-time favorite music videos. I don't know what I want from this new Carly Rae Jepsen album, but I need her to figure it out. At the end of the year every year since 2015, Run Away With Me , the first track of E*MO*TION , has been my most listened to song of the year. I was in the car with my husband, recently, and said to him as we were listening to that album, “I'm ready for a new album to mean this much to me.” I thought that album was going to be Lorde’s Melodrama , and although it do enjoy that album, it w

Why You Should Make Zines

What the heck is a zine?  This is my least favorite question and it’s also the one I’m asked the most frequently. The reason I hate this question is because there isn’t really a good short answer. As soon as you try to define what a zine is, you find yourself excluding someone who definitely makes zines but they don’t fit your exact definition, This is because zines are so flexible. They are as individual as the people who make them. That being said, I tend to see two physical formats of zines. These are not the only way to make zines but they are the ones I see the most: Folded in half and stapled or sewn (like a booklet) can be a variety of sizes. One-pager cut in the center and folded into a 6 page book. Ok, so it’s usually a little book. What is a zine about? It can be about anything, and this is where zines really become difficult to define because if it can be about anything, then what makes it a zine? For me, what makes a zine a zine is that it is small press, often

Kooky Party! Kooky Party! Kooky Party!

  Allow me to introduce you to Kooky Party, a monthly zine where I will explore tarot, nostalgia, personal growth, and whatever else is going on that month. Issue Zero follows the Fool, or at least attempts to. You can buy yourself a copy in my shop or we could set up a trade. He re's what's inside: Introduction to The Fool and how this archetypal character can help reflect on the virtues and shadows of foolishness. Collages and handwritten pages reflecting the month's theme. A tribute to Dolly Parton's anthem "Dumb Blonde" Film recommendations An homage to the Clown: The Patron Saint of Outcasts by Jason "evil" Covelli A messy essay about Tarantino and Harvey Weinstein by myself, an annoyed fan.
