check out these diy ZINES *:⋆°

Howdy y'all! Come along and get inspired by the vast and varied collection of zines that show up in my P.O. Box. each month. This month's episode is jam-packed with a little bit of everything: from perzines to fanzines, artsy full-color creations to b&w readables... there's a little bit of everything in there!

Zines are diy publications typically reproduced using a copy machine. Stemming from punk, underground, fandom, and activist subcultures, they're an accessible way to share your feelings, thoughts, skills, or art with the world!

My name is Dayna and I've been making zines — and helping build community around them — for over twenty years! They're one of my favorite things in the entire world. On my youtube channel, I like sharing my passion for zines with YOU! One of the ways that I do this is by sharing pen pal mail from zinesters around the world, so you can get inspired by the diversity of this format, and see zines of all different stripes.
