I've been wanting to create my own zine for years. I have spent many afternoons at the library and it’s amazing zine collection, taking notes and brainstorming ideas to create my own thing.
If you are not familiar with zines, I have added a definition by Nina Nijsten below, along with this video by one of my favorite artists, Hiller Goodspeed, an avid zine maker, who explains what a zine is and also how to make one if you are interested. I am also happy to share more about the process of creating my own if you are curious. Let me know in the comments if you have any specific questions!

What prevented me from making it my first zine wasn’t a lack of ideas or even a problem with procrastination. It was fear that blocked me for months. Fear of being judged by real artists out there that are making very cool zines. Or not finding the right format (digital vs print) and making it perfect. Fear of not making an important zine about an important topic.
This Spring, something clicked in me and I decided that I finally wanted to bring my zine to life. I realized that I already had the concept in my brain and it was just a matter of developing the idea a little bit further and polishing some final details.
The zine will be available as a PDF on May 18th via my website, where you will be able to purchase and download it. For my paid subscribers, it will be free to download.
In the meantime, enjoy this trailer that I made to introduce you to the world of my first zine. I am proud that the video truly encompasses the essence of what the zine is all about: remembering what matters by spending time outside, in the real world.
For now, catch-up with the latest issues:
Sobremesa with Andrew Hurt
For this issue of Sobremesa, I had the pleasure of interviewing Andrew Hurt. One of my favorite multidisciplinary artists in Vancouver.
Can't wait to see it!!
Soooo cool that you actually did this! I can't wait to see it soon!
