About food, reflections on food, reflections on culture around food

My second analog zine.. came with all the imperfections of the scanning and folding process (cut off text, scan lines, pages cut off) but lots of things I appreciate about the slowness and variability in analog.

Master copy at the end, too thick to properly fold, but it maintains a lot of the colors, textures, palimpsest qualities that get lost in the scan.

I made this collaborative zine with over 40 other artists about a dating app for cats, with each artist creating a dating profile for their cat! A portion of each sale goes to Project Meow!

Purrfect Match

Quick little folding exercise and education in interestingly named (real!) species! Apologies to the species. Cut on the blue lines, feel free to copy/distribute/modify/mock/whatever: https://dn711502.ca.archive.org/0/items/zine2_202607/zine2.pdf

hard to see but there’s some braided cord running through it too

Here’s some bits of an upcoming minizine where I draw from pictures I took at Shipwreck Day, a townwide flea market in Anacortes WA!

I make lots of photo zines of my personal work and I try to leave the interpretation of the project up to the viewer. I struggle with writing intro pages unless it’s about a very specific place or event I covered in the zine. If it’s just a collection of photos that I put together, it feels forced sometimes to add info. I know making a zine is whatever we want them to be, but is lack of “info” frowned upon? Thoughts?

It is a zine that presents itself as a single brand with two distinct entities with a dual-identity marketing strategy. It uses contrasting personas, twin sub-brands, and a split narrative to capture the essence of the journey along our market segment. One element recognizes itself merely a zine. On the other hand is the organizing elements that make it all possible; the endorsements of local brands which offer clues. It is a subscription to artistic sensibilities of an adventure from the perspective of building a brand from the ground up. Every simple mark on the pages looks like a secret code waiting to be solved. Your mind fills with pictures of secret trails, challenge coins, and everlasting friendships.

How It Offers Secrets
Tests of heart: Issues give a small clue only after the traveler proves they are kind or brave.
Symbols and signs: They point out hidden paths, stars, or old marks on stones instead of speaking plain words.
Gifts of power: The brand name offers a magic word, and a map to help navigate different trips enjoying VIP perks, skipping long lines, and getting insider information. You get special treatment everywhere you go, exclusive event entry, and behind-the-scenes views that normal people never see.

I started a zine that had some local success but I lost steam doing other creative projects and now I’m drained. I need some inspiration from you guys! I have 4 editions of my zine, with a few issues of each. It’s geared around cocktails, memoir, recipes, history, poetry, etc all about bitters. I feel like my work has become too formulaic and I want to get another perspective!
