Welcome to my zine project page!

About Me

there are so many things that interest me, that it would fill 2 pages with topics hehe!
anyway, i sign up for Ning in the first place, because of this community.

right now , i seem to be the only one here from Portugal and that feels kinda lonely, you know? ;-(
i wish there could be more Portuguese folks in here. if you're Portuguese and i didn't found you before here on WMZ, feel free to comment on my page!

a few of the things that interest me:
zines, fanzines, art, music, literature, cinema, magazines, books, artist journals, sketchbooks, comics, graphic novels, photography, vintage, collections, stamps, street art, guerrilla art, handmade crafts, paper crafts, design, graphic design, typography, fashion, photoshop, printing, diy, etc

i've been (slowly) working on my first zine and i'm looking for places to read about what's zine-making like these days, and also looking looking for fellow zinesters to exchange ideas (and in the future, zines maybe?), contributors to future zines, etc etc...

follow my never-ending project of my first (and only, if any! lol) zine ever
THE MISADVENTURES AND PERILS OF MAKING A ZINE...

Ciao Gomes, I mailed you a while back but you didn't reply, maybe you missed my message. Anyway, your piece is great and I'm going to publish it. Is it ok this way or do you want to change or add something?

Hey, nice to have news from Portugal. I've been there a few years ago... (maybe 2005? I don't remember). I went to Oporto and I've found 2 comic shops, but any fanzines. :(
I don't know if there is a scene in Portugal, I hope you can tell me more about hehe. Although, I have a web page were I publish my zines: http://peresaguer.weebly.com
Ah, and I also opened a flickr about some things I've got at home: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fanzinepaper/

I hope we could have a nice talk about zines in the "Iberian Land" hehehe

no good news, sorry...

i had one big change in my life happening and it disrupted the whole balance of things. not that the balance was doing very well before that happened but i still had some hope. right now, that little hope is almost gone, and it's hard to find the strength to keep doing the things i liked doing...

this is all a long story, my intention isn't to flood the community with another useless and pointless (since it's got nothing to do with the theme of Zines). i just want to let some people [the people… Continue

looking for NEW zines!!

yep, you heard [read] me right, i'm looking for new zines... so far, most of the zines i got are from the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, and i'm looking for something "different".

i'm mostly interested in zines from Japan (or any other Asian country) and from anywhere in Africa, since most of the things i get to read are with an occidental cultural/social view (ok, Australian zines are from the other side of the world - to an European - but still...). the only problem is they must be written in En… Continue

the bad news is...

just to let you (i mean, anyone who tries to contact me through We Make Zines) that:

i might take a while to answer emails from now on, because tomorrow i'm back to work (my last vacations for this year end tonight snif snif´´´´) and i'll have less time to come to my computer (that sucks, but days only have 24 hours so...). i could try to check my email at work but the next few days i'll probably won't get much free time in there and besides it can be hard to get enough privacy to check… Continue

video - DIY: How to Make a Zine

i found this cool video on YouTube, by SamProof, were he demonstrates how to make a zine (small format, about 7.5 cm by 10.5 cm, that's about 2"95 by 4"13) without using glue/staples/stitching/etc, just by a special but simple folding process!

see it here:
