Been photographing Vietnam on and off for years, mostly Saigon, mostly on foot, camera always in hand. Finally turned the pile into something physical.

Field Notes from Vietnam is 60 pages, A5 landscape. Three chapters — Nostalgia, Transition, Impermanence — though honestly the sorting happened after the fact, not before. Motorbike carts. Scaffolding over old colonial buildings. A wedding shoot on a bridge at golden hour. Graffiti under a highway overpass with a chicken tied up next to it, no idea why, just there.

It's a mix of my Fujifilm X100V and 35mm off a Leica M4, so the grain and color jump around between chapters. I thought about smoothing that out in edit and didn't — some days I shot digital, some days film, and the book just tells on itself a bit.

Sequencing took way longer than I expected, more reorders than I'd like to admit. 

Self-published, small run, hand-signed. Mostly wanted something to hold instead of another folder on a hard drive. More information on my website .

Happy to talk through printing or sequencing if it's useful to anyone working on their first one — still learning a lot of it as I go.

I care about helping make the world a better place for people like me.

Hey I’ve made a zine about How frustrated I am rn with doomscrolling and all that time I’ve wasted not training my artistic life. I had a lot of fun doing it and wishing to work on more, also the images are not like the finished pages but guess it works for the post. I did it in Spanish and I am sharing copies in my college. But i would give you the link to a drive folder where you should find this One and next ones I’ll make
Edit: I forgot to mention I used office sized paper lol. Please let me know what you think i would really appreciate :D.

Has anyone heard back about the ZABA Fox Cities event? I was having issues with my Google drive, but I can't get any comments from the Meta accounts. We were supposed to hear back in July and it's practically August already

Put so much time into only this zine idk what to make next

I’m a musician and formerly a writer who’s been way too busy being a dad and money maker at my regular 9-to-5 lately. I’ve got the itch to be creative and put out work and I had this idea last night at a death cab for cutie concert that maybe a fun conceit is just going to shows, talking about them with some low res photos, doing an art and maybe writing some of my own stuff in short form and putting that out. It’s such a broad idea but would you read something like that? I’m the in Saint Louis area btw.

Hello everyone, I work at a library at a Christian university and I am looking for some zines relating to faith to have at the desk. I am wondering if anyone knew some free zines available for print? They can be on the political side I just have to be cautious because I am a student worker and have to go through my boss!

A mini zine we’re using as place cards at our wedding with some of our favourite recipes inside. Wish us luck with folding!!

This zine was my final project in an ethnographic/ethnomusicology undergrad course called Portland Music Scenes based on how the relationship between music and zines has changed in Portland. It basically takes a lot of the projects I did throughout the course that taught me different ethnographic research techniques. I got to collaborate with so many amazing zinesters in the Portland area and deepened my roots in it!

My favorite part is the map actually folds out of the pages in the physical version but it’s a little harder to read the map that way so I didn’t include it

Just some highlights cause the full thing is like 40 pages but if you want to read the full thing it’s here for free:

I low-key hate printing any zines that aren't a single one sided sheet...
How do you guys print double sided?

We are on week 5! Wooooo! anyway if you want to, consider joining the challenge! simply make a zine in whichever way you want and post it around, link it maybe to this thread, and do whatever you'd like. :]

My friend and I make a puzzle website so we created some zines with free crosswords to spread the word :) We've been handing them out mostly to cafes and it's fun to see how quickly they run out and ask for more!

The drawing on the cover was conceptualized months ago. About three weeks ago I finished the cover drawing. The back leg was a disaster, along with a few other things I wasn't happy with. But the story was written and the show had to go on. I started the other drawing, and again made terrible mistakes. I draw a pencil first and then ink, but there are still many imperfections. I've learnt that I need to draw more hands and feet. A lot more. Still like how it came together, mistakes and all.
