2024 zine recap

1/9/25

I make zines for fun, and I want zines to be primarily for fun, so I don’t set specific goals each year. Even so, I’m really happy with what I accomplished in the past year!

Here’s a rundown of zine-related things I did in 2024.

Zines I made

I made 10 zines!

Mini zines:

Six colorful mini zines with various titles such as Left-brained art and How to make a mini zine are displayed on a dark surface.

Quater-page zines:

Contributor zines (that I organized):

Four zines titled Children of Immigrants, Urban Legends, Shoveling Sand: my favorite writing advice, and Spaced Out are arranged overlapping each other.

Zine contributions

I contributed pages to these zines:

Events

Local zine fest - I was a vendor, and I taught a workshop on making mini zines.
Fall Fest at a local library - I led a zine-making station.
Local creative studio - I taught a workshop on making zines.
Local college - I spoke to a graphic design class about making zines.
Two zine hangouts at local spots - These were great events to spend time making zines with people. Very casual hangouts.

Collage zines I made at events

Three zines with collages on the covers. One cover features autumn leaves. One cover features rows of chairs and dominoes. One cover features technology elements.

Miscelleanous

I joined the zine line of the Smallweb Subway. This is a webring themed after subway systems.

Not a zine, but collaboration with a zine friend. I submitted a short story to a podcast, VLASINDA’s Desolate Library.

I’m looking forward to making more zines and continuing to connect with people in 2025!
