Zine: Playground games in the 1990s

"Playground games in the 1990s" is a pros and cons list of recess activities that were popular in elementary school. (At least in central Pennsylvania, in the 1990s.)

Each page includes small illustrations relating to playground activities. I drew on Whitelines paper, so I could draw with a regular pen and then photograph the paper to use the drawings digitally.

Here are the interior pages.

Zine: Movies I never want to see again

"Movies I never want to see again" is about movies I watched one time and do not want to watch again. This doesn't mean they're bad movies! But something about them makes me feel like once is enough.

The cover of "Movies I never want to see again." The text is printed in black on red paper. In the bottom right corner, there's a photo of a spilled popcorn bucket.

I drafted this zine by hand and then I made it in Canva. The popcorn bucket on the front is modified from Terrance Barksdale's photo on Pexels.

It's an 8-page mini zine printed on red paper. Actually, this is the first mini zine I've printed on something besides white paper. :)

Here are the interior pages.

Out of the zines I’ve made so far, this one probably came together the fastest, from the initial idea to the finished zine.

I made the backgrounds with scrapbook paper, and I added some details with fineliner pens. Then I wrote the text on white paper, tore out pieces, and glued them over the scrapbook paper. I like how all the colors and patterns came together.

Here are the interior pages:

Zine: The Danger Zone

I have some sample fountain pen inks from The Goulet Pen Company that are colors I would not write with, but they are definitely colors I would draw with. A bright yellow ink reminds me of caution tape, so I created this zine of everyday dangers, with the danger highlighted in yellow on each page.
