So what is a Zine?
Firstly it's not pronounced 'zine' like 'line' but rather 'Zeen' like Magazine! Actually a zine is just a small version of a magazine and they're known for being self published with a small production number and usually no fancy printing methods involved...go the photocopier! Wikipedia goes into all the nity grity if you're more interested!

In the art World, zines are fairly common and if you type 'art zine' into etsy you'll find some great publications. Closer to home though and what has inspired me to kick start my own, is the fabulous Girlie Pains aka Brisbane artist Mel Stringer. Her zine production rate is one to be envied!
So every free chance I get, I'm thinkin, drawing, planning my own little magaZINE! and having a blast, can't wait to share more process shots as I get further into it all!
