Historically, zines have been self-published as pamphlets or leaflets as early as the 1700s.
"
Since the invention of the photocopy machine, zine-making has been one most popular forms of independent publishing, especially in underground communities.
"
The most important aspect of a zine is generally that the publication identifies as one.

i’ve found zines to be a fun way to feature my artwork, ideas, designs, thoughts, feeeelings, and so on! a wise & playful professor in our art education program demonstrated how a certain level of constraint - like a template - can be just what one needs to get creativity flowing; fussy fussters like me thrive on structure ysee... heh.. PLUS there’s something especially fulfilling about having a little book you made to show-off n hand-out : @ )
or hide around town > : 3

I spent a week documenting my moods each day with images & text because that's self-care gals

I work at a sign shop. as you can imagine we're filling lots of orders during this 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic about physical distancing, hour changes; yknow, Quarantine Stuff™️. anyways i have access to scrap material that can't get used in orders for one reason or another--too small, printer error, physical damage, etc
your gal loves scraps! Quaranzine collages them into "THeSe-UnCeRtAiN-TImEs" Capsules

every weekday in October 2017 i carved one (1) stamp according to a single-word prompt. every weekend i made one (1) zine from those stamps.
for the love of tiny printmaking.
