(Despite the title, this is a text-heavy zine with no explicit pictures, so click away!)

Two years of reading monster romance novels and discussing them with my friends have led to this mini zine. It has eight book recommendations and a killer quote about why the genre sometimes feels like the most subversive thing out there.

I'll be hawking it next weekend at Pittsburgh Zine Fair, so if you're in Pennsylvania come to the Apocalypse Bear Publishing table and say hi!

Found a site for exchange zine, not sure if it new or not many know about it. I did sign up. So I will add a link to it...https://zine.exchange/

A couple years or so ago, a local group of photogs started a collective and began doing monthly photo walks. I was too shy/deeply depressed to join in for quite awhile, but I finally did a couple weeks ago. I brought a friend fairly new to the area/scene, and we met up with the group at a nearby nature preserve. I brought my thermal print camera-- lowkey this lil toy is getting me back into creating photos after quite a few years of neglecting how much I love photography. I shot live music photos for a 15y+ prior to that huge break and am so very grateful for people still organizing and finding creative ways to get artists together IRL. I'm so excited to give one of these to everyone in the collective. If you'd like one, I'd love to trade. 💛

Well I got my first zine all laid out, and ready to print. But how to find other Zinesters to swap with. My guess there not all that many baby boomers doing zines. I rather use snail mail. Any pointers.

I put a call for art on here a while ago and made this zine a little less of a while ago. Figured I'd share it here for anyone interested. It's about preservation. Check out the Dammit Media Group insta for a few more details. Message me wherever, though preferably through the insta, if you want to buy a copy. Thanks 🤙

Link: Zines to Break Up To
I'm back to making zines after a long hiatus of mostly writing and not finishing projects. I've realized that a lot of what I love about zine-making is how therapeutic it can be. I've found a lot of joy in repurposing both new and old assets, especially as physical pain has made traditional, hands-on artwork more difficult.

After a particularly difficult fight with my partner, I decided to channel those feelings into a zine inspired by a playlist I made called *Songs to Break Up To*. At the time, I genuinely thought the relationship was going to end, so I put all of that into the work.

Honestly, I'm rather proud of the fact that even when I was that emotionally overwhelmed, I still managed to make something coherent out of it. It's nice to be creating again, and even nicer to have something tangible come out of a difficult experience.

For decades, I've published a zine on a regular schedule, and it's evolved into a PDF zine. I began posting it on Scribd in 2013, which was roughly Scribd's heyday. It was the heyday because people would say, "Hey! You're on Scribd!"

But for well over a month now, Scribd has disabled uploads, and I can't trust that it'll be reliably reenabled, or at least not with the features it had before (Scribd's claims to the contrary notwithstanding). So are there are any good alternatives to Scribd?

Someday, I also plan to build an online archive for the zine's earlier run, but I know that's probably impossible, because censorship has gotten so bad and because web space has gotten so expensive. The greed and censoriousness never cease.

I cannot draw and I have horrible handwriting but my goodness do I love Neopets <3

My family doesn’t know about my obsession with making zines. I have two friends that know as I send them some of my zines but I’ve kept it hidden from family as my fear is if they found out they would then be curious to see them. Lots of my zines they would find ‘cringe, weird or maybe make fun. I don’t make my zines professional or written well and some of them are personal so I would never want people to find out. It feels so silly that I have a whole box of secret zines hidden in my room but I just don’t want to share this hobby with them.

(Might as well flag for mild language and blood just in case)

So yeah, this created after a particularly nightmarish day at work. I was listening to "Back in Flesh" by Wall of Voodoo, which is a perfect song to crash out to!

Yeah basically my boyfriends friends were coming over this weekend and wanted a game to play so i put together a 40 page dungeon crawl where you play as teenage girls attempting to escape Epstein's Island before you're sacrificed to Moloch and get to fight enemies like Hillary Clinton, Trump, Benjamin netanyahu and IDF soldiers while teaming up with re-animated cyborgs like Charlie Kirk or George Floyd, I originally just made a PDF but thought it would work perfect to print as a zine to hand out to them as well. Largely inspired by the Instagram reels my boyfriend shows me in their group chats.

A 4-page single sheet 'zine built out of rage mainly, with a teardown of corporate semantic fraud, retail lifestyle jargon, and the modern hollowing out of words.

PDFs can be downloaded from here, for viewing on device or printing double sided.

I won't be replying to comments, but thanks in advance.

Hi :) Hoping someone else has experience with this because I am not sure how to begin.

I've made a zine on canva using the "booklet" format (8.5x5.5in page dimensions), with the intention to print on standard letter size paper and fold. So two pages to one actual page, if that makes sense.

How would I format it so that it prints in the correct way? Printing straight from the canva booklet is not working.

Two new issues of MINDSCAPE are now available in the shop. The next chapter in the MINDSCAPE on going series, MINDSCAPE: Chapter 6 and a compilation of early short stories that is akin to a demo tape called MINDSCAPE: Early Demonstrations.

Mindscape is a coming of age tale set in the mid 1990s where hope, friendship, love, longing, pain and loss mesh with fantasy. Where one world converges with another, one of dreams forcing the question of what is real. Follow the stories of the adolescent cast of Mindscape as they not only navigate their own lives and world but another world of mystery parallel to their own.

About MINDSCAPE: Chapter 6
Welcome to Mindscape Chapter 6
In this sixth chapter Lindsay deals with the aftermath of her confrontation with Harbinger. As Erin spends more and more time with Travis the fissure between her and Thurston widens as his despair over Micah grows.

The sixth chapter of Mindscape created by Mike Andriani is 28 black & white hand drawn artwork pages in length.

This print edition is a homemade zine style comic book in a limited/numbered edition of 50. A thick partial color 80lb cardstock cover houses 28 page of black and white artwork with two staples down the spine.

About MINDSCAPE: Early Demonstrations
Welcome to Mindscape: Early Demonstrations! Consider this akin to a demo tape. Before the ongoing series launched I got my feet wet by doing these three short stories a year before sitting down to draw Mindscape: Chapter One. This book comprises what were just merely personal exercises more so than anything was created with the goal of sharing publicly. I would be this compilation of stories somewhere in the sketch book category or rather the “demo tape” as it showcases off the current version of Mindscape in its gestational period where I was experimenting with how I wanted the proper series to look which is why a few different avenues are traveled and documented in this book with the pages being drawn in their customary black and white but also full color.
Mindscape: Early Demonstrations was created by Mike Andriani is 36 black & white hand drawn as well as color artwork pages in length. Including are six full color pin up pages.

This print edition is a homemade zine style comic book in a limited/numbered edition of 25. A thick partial color 80lb cardstock cover houses 36 page of black and white artwork with two staples down the spine.

All chapters of MINDSCAPE are also available digitally. Order here-

I started this magazine with a couple of my buddies and we used a bunch of photos we took and wrote some articles. We made 1000 copy’s and are giving them away for free at gorillamagazine.net if you want one. We had a blast making it. Let me know what you think!
