zine sampler

this is a little sample pack of zines. the MHW issue (green) talks about how to make your own zine. DNB and Cook This! are 24 Hour Zines, and EA:Self Portraits (red) is a 1/8 size zine that shows staple binding. it's an alternative zine size that isn't really used much. the other zines are hand bound with a japanese stab binding.

this little set seems like a pretty good starter for anyone who is looking to make their own zine, with instructions in MHW#2, and a showcase of three sizes, and two different bindings.

available in my shop on etsy.

Spiral Bound no 1

Originally uploaded by anongrrl
Spiral Bound is a compilation of work from various artists, both visual and verbal, about why they journal, and why recording oneself is necessary to their respective identity.

Some of the entries are written in the form of explorations of the topic of journalling, and some are excerpts from personal journals. Some are both. There are both word and image, sometimes combined, from a variety of styles.

This is a 55 page zine printed on cardstock and comb bound. This binding is very similar to a coil, except it is interlocking teeth like a comb bind with a spine along the back of the round comb. It is a round, thin plastic binding.

Why do you write? Looking for some ideas? Check out Spiral Bound issue #1.

i don't make these anymore, but i show you so you can see just how far they've come since then. this was a very small 1/8 size. it was only 12 pages or so.
