I started making zines back in high school in the early 90s and then for a couple years after. Just a weird kid in suburbia with this fantastic outlet i shared to a few immediate friends and a few dozen strangers around the country.
What i loved most was the process of assemblage. Figuring out how to get really neat effects like white pencil on xerox and using sheets of tracing paper while copying to make images selectively opaque.
Several years later, in college, i discovered that you could make money with an interest like this. “They” called it Graphic Design.
And so, roughly 15 years later I have been a graphic designer for close to 10 years and am thoroughly bored.
Plan on taking my weird skills/talent into another field, but first, would like to start a zine again to revisit what i fell in love with in the first place!
