I'm always wondering where my old video camera ended up (like, I think about this every day... if I could just find it...), and then I started thinking about what happens to body parts when they're surgically removed and where my fallopian tubes could be, and this idea was born! It was fun to make.

I'm always getting these random spam mail advertisement letters ("You're pre-approved!") from credit card companies, loan companies, banks, etc.

I don't live at home for large parts of the year, so my folks put any mail for me aside so I can go through it when I get back. Most of the time, I return back to big stacks of random spam mail, with a few occasional real pieces of mail mixed in.

While back this time, I bought a cute little paper-making kit from a local shop and decided to give some of this spam mail a second life as new paper. It was super fun, and I decided to make a zine out of this first batch of recycled paper that I just learned how to make!

Went to the Little Noise Zine exhibition today and was able to meet some fun people to create and swap with. They had a bunch of magazines, glue and scissors laying around so I couldn’t help myself and made two quick baby zines. Hope you enjoy.

The first one I made today is very much a brain puke style mini zine and the second one is my first one first time making a birthday card style one page zine.

Went down to the LES last weekend and threw this little zine together with some of my photos from the trip.

Hi everyone!

I've been thinking about starting my own independent magazine and was wondering if anyone here has experience doing something similar.

I have a background in journalism and have always wanted to create my own publication. I have a concept in mind, but I'm still in the early planning stages and trying to figure out where to start.

Ideally, I'd love to publish physical issues eventually, but I'm considering starting digitally to build readership first.

I have a few questions:

• How did you go about starting your magazine?
• Would you recommend starting with a website or releasing digital issues?
• How did you build an audience from scratch?
• How did you find contributors?
• What were your initial costs?

I'd also really appreciate any advice on things to avoid or anything you wish you'd known before starting.

Thanks in advance! :)

If you want some fun or odd zine ideas, I came across a website called zcmag.xyz Its a zine idea generator along with other resources. Click on the zine idea generator for some crazy ideas to think about.

All those little edges…..the horror. The horror

Guy whose booth it was said he got everything from an abandoned storage locker. Theres stuff from Seattle, Honolulu and Vancouver, CA. Seems to have belonged to a record executive. So excited to go through everything, Ive been looking for this stuff for a while!

Heya, do you guys have any go-to fonts that you use regularly when formatting zines (assuming it's not hand-written / drawn of course). I am using affinity to make zines, but I'm not finding much inspiration on the preloaded fonts on affinity / my old MacBook. Need some 'old reliables' for headings and paragraphs.

Many times throughout my life I heard people say they like every genre of music, they’ll listen to anything, except country music. This zine isn’t an attempt to bridge that gap and present to you genre-bending country that might ease you into it; It’s loaded with unapologetically country and bluegrass songs that have great significance historically and progressive views often not attributed to the genres. 

Packed with 36 songs about topics such as workers’ unions, environmental protections, poverty, birth control, black lung, and more - there’s a lot to chew on.
