I'm trying to get not one but TWO zines cranked out for Chicago Zine Fest and I'm about halfway on the one and maybe a quarter on the other. It's really difficult, I haven't written much (maybe 5 pages in the last week and a half) and all my layouts/lettering/ideas/illustrations are just turning out crappy. I decided last night I'm going to regroup and redouble my efforts into making the one zine as awesome as possible and leaving the other one behind for right now. I'm just not really in…

Hey Everyone,

I just created a new message board for all things zines, music and food over at www.notesandbolts.proboards.com

This isn't meant to take away from any of the awesomeness that happens here at We Make Zines, it's more a place for folks of all kinds to come and discuss the things they love (while there is a single sub forum for zines, there are others on various media, music, food, art,…

Hello!



We are a new zine library at XPACE Cultural Centre (http://xpace.info), an artist-run centre in Toronto, Canada. Starting March 2012 the zine library will be accessible in our main space whenever we are open, during regular gallery hours Tuesday-Saturday, alongside our regular art programming. The zine library will exist with two other library projects: a monthly curated library, which coincides with main…

My blog is basically a collection of the writing from my paper zines going back to 1996...33 zines in total.  A little bit of everything from social satire to bitter realism.  Would love some feedback.

I always mean to write a bunch of zine reviews together and I never do, so I think I will do a series of mini zine reviews here.

The other night I read These Here are Crazy Times #2 by Sarah May.

Here is her We Make Zines profile, but there isn't too much on it. I think I got her zine from Ms Valerie…

Готовлю "НАСТ" №5. По причине необходимости снизить расходы на издание зина придётся отказаться от цветной печати обложки и тонрованных страниц.

I'm thinking maybe I need to do a zine about menopause...tried to find out if there were others who make zines who are going through this madness....I don't even know if it matters.  

Tomorrow is/has to be better than how I feel now.   I don't want to feel this way for years and years more of this place.

Menopause sucks.   I can't take anything to make it better, all the stuff either doesn't touch this or I'm alergic to it....I just want to make it stop…
