i made these little mini-zines as a way of processing. well. everything going on lately in the united states lol

"make zines" is a double-sided mini zine that includes a mini poster on the inside with instructions for how i made both of these zines.

"it would do us all well to make more art" comes with an additional PDF that gives instructions on how to print, cut, and assemble the zine from one double-sided sheet of paper.

both zines are available for free/pwyw to download and print from my ko-fi shop! feel free to print them, share them, take them apart to make your own zine templates, etc.

if you'd like to order physical copies of the zines together—because you don't have access to a printer, because you want to support me, or because it's nice to get things other than spam in the mail sometimes—i'm selling the physical copies together for $5.

here's a link to my ko-fi shop if you want to check out my other work!

and i'll put my big long rant about the thoughts i had while making these zines behind a cut.

i don't think that art is the solution to all our problems or that making art is on par with direct action, protesting, forming local community networks, calling representatives, donating to mutual aid funds, etc. art isn't a free pass to avoid doing the hard stuff. especially all of the stupid, silly art that i make, like my zine about the sims games lol.

when i think of discussions about the importance of protest art, i can't help thinking about that quote from vonnegut: "during the vietnam war, which lasted longer than any war we've ever been in -- and which we lost -- every respectable artist in this country was against the war. it was like a laser beam. we were all aimed in the same direction. the power of this weapon turns out to be that of a custard pie dropped from a stepladder six feet high."

creative doubts are a very leisurely problem to have in the scheme of things.

with that being said, these zines are more of a mantra that i've developed to pull myself away from all the spiraling thoughts that come when i spend too much time online doomscrolling, or when i think about the works i've made on gender, queerness, and anti-fat bias and how pointless it all feels.

and then i remember there are both very shitty, rich people and their very shitty, indoctrinated followers that would prefer i continue to feel this way, and that i and the people like me stop existing, or at the very least stop making our existence known and stop thinking our work and joy and community is of any importance. and then out of spite i resolve to scroll less and make art more, because i'm not going to give them that kind of resignation for free.

additionally, i think zines are a really valuable tool to utilize during a time when it's getting more difficult to organize and access information online. we're coming into an age now where we're really recognizing the impermanence of the internet—from important webpages and communities being wiped from existence to the increase in online content censorship that we see from platforms trying to appear more advertiser friendly family-friendly. this inherently conflicts with the nature of the world that we find ourselves in, whether it's talking about queer bodies or the ongoing genocides. additionally, it's getting harder and harder to access news that isn't from extreme right-wing sources without running into paywalls, which makes it difficult to educate yourself and others on important topics.

but nobody can shadowban zines. if your zines get taken off the internet for whatever reason, no one can stop you from printing off physical copies and mailing them, putting them in public places, or sharing them in-person with others. zines are both ephemeral and eternal, and also a great way of turning feelings of hopelessness into hope and community that you can share with others, whether they're about important things or silly video games.

In January 2024, I started publishing between one and three mini-zines each month, and sending them out to my subscribers. Though there were a couple months I skipped due to personal reasons, because some months had multiple zines, so far subscribers have received 13 zines. I am currently finishing up the final batch, which will include three zines, bringing it to a total of sixteen.

I will be taking this listing down in mid-February, when the final three zines are completed. Most of these zines will not be sold/distributed individually, so if you’re itching to see any of the past minis and/or the final three, this is your LAST CHANCE to get in on it.

I made some mini zines

I made it to send to my dearest fandom people and I'm here to share it on tumblr too.

And It's printable! It's ok to print it out as long as

1. It's not used on commercial purposes, or

2. use on intent to offend me and other people.

Instructions on how to print mini zines and zip file with images in it are in the below.

‘ANGELSLAYER’ is a little experimental zine I made a couple months ago with my own writing and collage.

It came from a place of suffering (like a lot of my zines do), this time about the internal battle of coming to terms with being the villain in other people’s stories, and even finding a bit of power and acceptance in that. 🕊️

It is essentially two single page mini zine sheets bound together with black ribbon to make a book made of two sheets of paper!

It can be found here if you’d like a copy :-)

a mini zine about being plural !!

i had a different one in the works but the words never found me for it. but tonight i had some words i guess?

i love the stamp i used on the back a Lot too- butterflies are a big symbol of plurality for us, so a butterfly made of butterflies is perfect!!

'The Cape' is a very small zine by J. R. Carpenter from 2006. It chronicles a fictional account of someone in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, U.S., trying to learn how to whistle loudly. You can explore elements of the zine on their website.
