One more zine for 2024. 🚀

The cover of a zine titled SPACED OUT with colorful, abstract planets and a starry background.

“Spaced Out” is a quarter-page zine that collects writing and illustrations that are inspired by outer space.

Illustrations were hand-drawn in black and white, and color elements were added with space-themed washi tape. All text is typed.

Details:

  • 12 pages (including covers)
  • Finished zine measure 5.5 inches high x 4.5 inches wide
  • Printed in full color on white paper
  • Folded by hand and bound with staples

Paper copies are available in my Etsy shop (U.S. only), and I’m open to trading (anywhere mail can go).

Spaced Out is also available in a digital format on Ko-fi.

Here are some of the pages:

A page spread with planets drawn in black and white. Colorful curved shapes are around each planet. The text on the left page says I just want to float in your atmosphere. The text on the right says Sometimes you throw me out of orbit, and I have a hard time coming back.

A zine open to a page featuring an astronaut floating in space on the left. On the right, there’s an abstract eye design with text above it that says The abyss looks inside you and you cannot look away.

If you’re interested in how I made the washi tape pieces, I wrote a blog post about my process.

I made holographic stickers to go with this zine! This is an updated design of my “I need some space” stickers. Every “Spaced Out” zine comes with a sticker.

A round holographic sticker that says I need some space. Text and graphic elements, including a rocket ship, planet, and stars, are in yellow on a purple background.

I added a note to the back of my zine about not using AI.

The back cover of a zine includes a starry background, a moon and stars logo, and Mythical Type in a large font. Near the bottom of the page, text says Creativity is human. This zine was made without the use of AI.

I’ve been seeing some artists clarify that they don’t use AI in their work, and I think it’s an important distinction to make. I already have a webpage about why I don’t use AI. Now I have a note in print, too.
