\nHello! I am an artist and avid printmaker who likes to write and illustrate poems & stories. My next goal is to write and illustrate a children\u2019s book, something I\u2019ve wanted to do for a long time.<\/p>\n
\nA few years back I was involved in a Comix Club group where we drew, talked, and shared our mutual love of comics. Zines were a natural extension of that for me, a way to combine words and art into little books that were not as time-consuming to draw as comics – all those comic book panels take forever!<\/p>\n
\nI like to try to make each zine better than the last in some way. I always learn something new about illustrating, designing, and writing for zines. I also like each zine to have its own character that makes it a bit different from the rest.<\/p>\n
\nThe first zines I ever purchased (I didn\u2019t even know what zines were back then) were by Mark Todd, who wrote and illustrated funny stories about his friends and family. Then a few years back I read Invincible Summer by Nicole Georges. I love the little illustrated books by Daria Tessler, zines by the La-La Theory, and comics by Corinne Mucha. Edward Gorey has always been a big inspiration as well.<\/p>\n
\nFirst off, just start something! It\u2019s scary at first, but you will learn a lot from your first zine. Content is important – what do you want to say and how will you say it? After the first zine, start to think about presentation – how to make your zine beautiful and unique in its own way. The art, writing, and book format should inform each other so that your book stands as a unified whole – something that represents you and what you want to communicate to the world. Good luck and have fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
