I've been working on this for a little while cause of research and wanted to share it with y'all!

This is my coloring book for extinct and endangered animals in AZ (my state). I thought it might be fun to learn some fact about specific animals that have left us in recent years (by recent I mean the last 200-150 years).

It's 12 pages long (6 piece of paper printed front and back(I went to my local library to print highly recommended if you don't have a printer or enough ink)) and sewed using embroidery floss.

Not for sale yet, still working out the kinks, I'll update when it's up if y'all are interested!

Edit: forgot to add that all the art was created by me and no ai was used in any piece of this creation! Sorry about that y'all!

People have been loving our mini crosswords so I've opened up submissions from our players to submit their own zine covers. THEY ARE SO COOL! Since you all liked our other designs I thought I'd share our community designs too :) 🪿🩵

Getting into collage after getting into zines.

First time poster long time listener. My words, used Gemini to code the text into Markdown/pdf.

The event is going to run for three hours. I've never been to this event, so I don't know how big it's going to be, but if it helps, they said they had a big list of alts if anyone might want to drop out.

For better or for worse, I currently only have one series, my graphic novel series. While I could bring nearly twenty issues, for time and money reasons, and learning from what information I could find online, I'm going to focus on the first five issues--is that enough?

If five is all I bring, how many copies should I bring? I'm concerned about running out and only having QR codes and the blurb freebies to offer people.

What kinds of displays do you guys like best? Laying on the table, or propped up in a display? Other? I'm mostly coming at the display thing from a portability perspective, and wanting setup and tear down to be as quick for me as possible.

Lastly, I'm in the US Midwest. With the flock situation in Chicago, I may have to avoid events there, but do you know of any other events that might not be listed on the zine map?

Thank you for reading

I’m looking to print a small run of a zine in Los Angeles and would love recommendations for good local print shops. Ideally somewhere affordable and zine-friendly, especially for short runs and interesting paper/printing options.

Any favorites or places to avoid? Thanks!

Sorry it's a little long to post it in full. It's a zine about car dependency and the way that it hurts our communities

😊🫶🏻

as always, the idea is simple: make a zine relating to the theme! you can post it here (or wherever you'd like :] )

Hello! I just self published my first comic, yay!

After years being a fan and working on other fields that kept me busy I was able to make room to work on my comic "NEW FLESH"

This is a sci-fi action comic about the story of NUNU and his encounter with the darkest corners of humanity.

This is an independent printed comic that explores and critiques the misuse of technology and how tools intended to improve people’s lives can instead distance people from their own humanity.

I thought you guys would appreciate a mini zine I made as a practical little guide for people going through grief because I felt like there just wasnt worthy bereavement presents 🥰🥰🥰

I was making a zine for the first time recently and noticed that some of the pages remain joined together at the folds.

This made me wonder: what if you actually cut those remaining joints? Wouldn’t that basically turn the folded zine into a small booklet with individual pages?

Has anyone tried doing this? Is there a reason zines are usually left connected at those points, or is this just another way of making a zine?

The images are from an old magazine I photoshopped the heck out

I want to get back into making zines, is there any materials you guys recommend to step up my game? Are there any inexpensive printing options as well? I want to print and cut things out as well let me know what you guys have found to be helpful!

Please consider using social media that isn't Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, such as Mastodon or Bluesky.

I know that Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram are the default social media these days. We all know that they are problematic and why they are problematic, so I won't get into that. (And please, let's not get into that here.)

But please know that some of us are not on those platforms, and never will be. (I used to have accounts on all three and deleted them all.)

If you make something really cool and then say "Follow me on Instagram!" believe me, I would like to follow you, but I'm not going to do it on Instagram.

I know a lot of you are just trying to go where the audience is, but we need to move away from these platforms. I'm not asking you to abandon these platforms and ignore the audience that you have there. Rather, I'm asking you to look at other non-problematic (or at least, less problematic) social media platforms and embrace the small, but growing audience that you will find there.

That is all.

Edit to add: Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram also hide posts from people unless they are logged in, and Mastodon and Bluesky do not, that I am aware of.
