Here is the link to one of the zines I made!

This zine is about a lot of things, including family, memory, desire, and developing self-concept. I really wanted to approach the concept of desire as more than just sexual attraction–as something complex that underlies our basic interactions, the ways we relate to other people, etc. Includes some pretty cute kid pics of me!

Here is a tutorial of how to assemble a one-page zine: http://rookiemag.com/2012/05/how-to-make-a-zine/ (THANK YOU ROOKIE!) You can use standard 8 1/2 by 11 paper for this, and if you don’t have an x-acto knife you can just use scissors.

I feel super excited about this blog–I hope you all wanna keep reading it! I’m finishing school right now, but this is my reward to myself– I get to blog about it!! I haven’t had any opportunities to gush about how passionate I am about this project… So look forward to more soon! Including an actual description of my project, all the zines I’ve made so far and background on the creative process for each, reviews of really rad zines, and more!

much love,

James
