How about a brief introduction?
Hi, I’m Beverly and I’m from California (just east of Los Angeles). A year after I got a degree in chemistry I decided to change paths and pursue a career in the arts. I am currently studying illustration and design. I get a lot of my inspiration from music and people-watching. Some of the things I enjoy are reading, drinking coffee, and going to concerts.
How did you get involved with zine making?
A few months back I got into swapping artwork and postcards. I joined a zine swap just to try it out and I made an 8-page zine with random doodles and patterns I drew. I read “Whatcha Mean What’s A Zine” and “Sharpie Revolution” and my love for zines grew from there. I like how you can make a zine about anything and everything!
Tell us what’s your goal when it comes to zine making?
To learn about self-publishing, share my work with others, and experiment.
Any favorite artists that inspired you to make your zine?
Chris Piascik; his Typostruction zine was a huge inspiration for me. Also, Kate Bingaman Burt and her daily drawings.
What’s the one tip you’d like to share with people who are interested in making their own zines?
Make many copies and trade with others!
