Zines!

Why a zine? Because art is a form of communication, this small piece of DIY published work can convey your thoughts, display your latest achievement, all the while having great control doing so. Social media and digital footprints will always have its place, but having something tangible, something to hold, admire, and save I think is fundamental to us as a people. When I know that someone has put time and effort into an item, such as a small painting from an independent artist, I find myself cherishing it, in part because I can keep and hold it.

Making zines has been a great experience for me, a real pleasure, and seeing what others have designed is also pretty awesome. Let’s hope that zines continue to have a place in our lives, long live the zine!
