#zinester — Public Fediverse posts

Making zines traditionally sure is messy, but fun!

Anyways, here’s a BTS of me making my Social Media Sucks for Artists zine. Let’s just say there was a lot of gluing (and sticky fingers!)

Have you guys made zines before? Let me know!

I never thought I'd like participating in #internationalzinemonth so much! Here’s a write-up of what I learned and why I decided to make zines.

for the #zine folks out there: my friend Dayna just created a foldable paper template for a mini-zine display box, which you can get from their website & create zine holders out of whatever paper you fancy

My new #zine is out - you can learn how to #doodle in my wild Scribbly-Wobbly-Timey-Wimey Style. 😁
And if you are quick - you get it for free during the week-end: https://ko-fi.com/s/507f02742a

But you can also give what you want, I'm still collecting for those waiting horror bills ... https://ko-fi.com/naturematchcuts/goal?g=59

I do these #doodles after a stressful day and even as illustrations for my blog.

If you download a #zine, especially a #miniZine to print it yourself, do you need lines that show you how to fold it and where to cut? Or do you make that yourself without any lines?
I uploaded my last one with helping lines, but you can see them after folding.

What's better than complaining about social media? Making a zine complaining about social media! And posting it online. Social media-ception anyone?

Any other artist struggling with socials as well? Let me know!

Keep an eye out for when this is available to download!

You know what’s better than one zine? Another zine!

I made this whilst making the Social Media Sucks for Artists zine. Ideas truly do come at the worst time possible.

Anyone else struggle with too many project ideas (and finish none of them?) Let me know!

Here’s a sneak peek of what’s inside!

Made this during #internationalzinemonth . Even if it’s over, I still highly recommend people try to create at least 1 zine! Especially if you’re a hoarder (and have a lot of scraps in the house) like me.

Follow to see more of my art!

Guess whose getting another visit from the printer tech :blobcatfine:

A Guide To Being Gentle (with yourself and others) Zine

This little zine is embracing gentleness towards yourself and the people around you.

Read and download it on my website for free:

Made another quick zine during #internationalzinemonth (though I didn't get around to posting about it now). Yes, I am a writer complaining about writing.

Anyone else struggle with writing? I definitely sure do!

The Amphi Festival Zine is finally done! I collected all the drawings I made during the event! Enjoy flipping through it :3

Guess I’m just in time! Here’s another zine I made for #internationalzinemonth ! Yes, I am absolutely complaining how social media sucks for artists.

Tried to make a quarter page/A6 zine. Pagination is a lot difficult compared to a half page/A5 zine! Now, off to scan it!

Have you guys made any zines this month? Let me know!

It took quite a long time due to heatwave exhaustion, but now my new #minizine is ready to get digitised. It's an #HowTo for my way of #doodling: for people who cant #draw but like to do it, for more #colour & #beauty in this wold, and perhaps a method to calm down in stressful times. Soon in my ko-fi shop!
Would you like to learn such colourful doodles?

It's #InternationalZinemonth ! Went in a bit of a fugue state and made this #zine all by hand the old-fashioned way!

Was really inspired by brattyxbre! Go watch her cool videos!

(Now I just need to go scan this thing)

RE: https://c.im/@mlupica/116934844066287818

I made #zines for the first time in the 1970/80s because I was fascinated to produce #minibooks or #magazines with simple materials. I restarted not long ago as a personal protest against being robbed by AI corporations, against AI slop. I wanted to do something simple outside of hype culture.

Well, seems to be a trend now. 😉 And I like it. I like that human explosion of #creativity!

Against all odds I finished my #zine about #ArtistTradingCards !

You can read it here: https://www.betty-draws.de/2026/07/15/atc-zine-07-2026/

The stifling heat following an ultra-brief thunderstorm and the national holiday should be excuse enough to put off any hard housework and stay in the coolest (27°C) room.

There, all I can do (imagine, my laptop has no internet connection) is embroider, paint, write by hand or sleep. So I’ll finally finish the #Zine! Purely handmade by a real human.

The first home-printed Zine I made was about food. You can read it on my homepage.

@riotmuffin A good idea for small #zines! But aren't zines very different? I know photography zines as perfect as small books, with weeks of work ... and the author must make a living.
When is a price too high?

A rather cold (15°C) rainy day ... working on my #zine. Such a good feeling to use paper, pencils, and scribbly, wobbly #humanmade lines!
What I already know: it will be bigger than a 9-page mini zines and have text. And I can even recycle these images for my blog.
The zine will show you ideas for #slowWatching #nature. Here some older images: https://mastodon.online/@NatureMC/116680517704000078

Working on a new zine. The idea is still taking shape, in a playful and explosive way, combining text and images. Something with nature ! The bad photos show you: these are #humanmade!

You find my last zine about #reconnectingWithNature here: https://ko-fi.com/s/700d3d3138
