ooh, i second this! i think it's way more important to have less content that you're really proud of and that others will be interested in reading than a ton of random little things put together. a...

Profile Information

 

regeneration / ashlee s.

i started publishing my first perzine, flying w/ broken wings, when i was fifteen. after seven issues under that title, i started writing regeneration. i'm working on a seventh issue [about alcohol and addiction] and i've also been keeping an art journal that will be made into a zine. i write about my life, pure and simple. and my art is visual representation of my life.

i live in a little apartment just outside of minneapolis with my cat, little foot. i'm a compulsive multi-tasker. I LOVE: reading everything in sight, art, sending/receiving mail gifts, learning/unschooling, making lists, taking walks, keeping myself happy, diy, waiting tables, naps, summertime, a full mailbox, watching tv, adventures, and all kinds of music.

regeneration #5 [$1 or trade] and #6 [$2 or trade] are currently available! check my blog for more information and reviews!

Just out of curiosity, would Little Foot's name come from The Land Before Time?

Hello to you! I'd love to read Regeneration, I don't have a zine of my own quite yet to trade so I'd love to purchase a copy from you!

Hey Ashlee,
I'd love a copy of Regeneration #6. Do you have #5 still available? If so, I'll trade you two for two, and then one zine plus shipping to the states is $5. Your zines sound pretty cool, I'm interested in reading them. I got your address off your blog, so if you still want to trade, I'll email you mine and then put your package in the mail!
