Making my first zine | COMPLETELY HANDCRAFTED

I made my very first zine (hopefully the first of many) and guys I can't begin to tell you how satisfying this whole process was!! I've always loved the hands-on, physical process of art, and making this zine was all about that. I mainly used two techniques: a xerox transfer to print photos and text into the zine and rub-on lettering to add more text. Both of these methods were new to me, and I had a great time learning how to do them.
Hope you guys enjoy learning along with me and watching the art process.

I still think the memorialized series was such a genius idea. I love the idea of trying to portray memories, I love the texture of both the abstract paintings and the acetone transfer images… so brilliant!

Lately I’ve been struggling a lot with anxiety and depression, I’ve been trying to sell and promote my Lino prints, writing and paintings but to no success. But art never fails to take my mind off of things. And I’m glad I watched your video, usually my adhd doesn’t let me sit and focus on a video but each clip has a super cool tool I’ve never seen that inspires me so much. Watching you press on those letters and seeing them form meaningful sentences really warmed my heart for some reason. This is a huge inspiration and I hope your art takes you many places.

Such a wonderful technique (the xerox thing) - and keeps in line with a zine being a fragile and personal medium I think. Very inspiring, feel like trying it out right away!

[jessiewarner]

Lol loved in 12 seconds. U always do amazing stuff:)

[donnajennings]

Your face as the printer danced is priceless. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[donnajennings]

So, if I understand it, you went back to the original photo, enhanced it so when you did the transfer it would be clearer/more distict?

[Freundinnen]

I have to try this technique. Does anyone knows, if nail polish remover with acetone will work, too?

Edit: I tried it. It works wonderfully! So have fun while testing 😊

[johnorr]

Have you decided how you want to archive the master copies of your zines?

Hi, I am a French student in cultural mediation and I am preparing a website on the theme of fanzine. Do you agree that I share your video on the site? Thank you for your answer :-)

Rubbing alcohol??? Bet that u got a bit dizzy.

Ι like the fina result....but the technique feels .... wasteful. You use printer ink to print them plus the paper you print them on only to ....throw them awa after in order to have a faded, uneven and blurry copy of a picture you have already printed ....plus the chemicals
