FAQ
Who is in charge here?
Hannah Spoons Art! I am an illustrator, comic book artist, and printmaker with a BFA in Art, and I want to create zines with low entry requirements to foster fun and community in fandom and creative spaces. I've participated in numerous zines in all kinds of roles from head mod to cover artist to page artist, and everything in between.Why free digital?
I want to make projects that are accessible to people of all skill levels and are still fun and interesting! Fostering community, collaboration, and creativity is important to me. I also don't want to mess with money or production, no thank you.Do you only do One Piece zines and events?
No, I just happen to have a lot of One Piece ideas!I'm interested in helping mod one of your projects or asking you to help mod one of mine.
Feel free to contact me! You can reach me at [email protected] or on any of my socials. We also do mod applications for zines, but you can reach out beforehand if you see something you're interested in that's on the list.What even is a zine?
The word zine comes from "magazine," and is more or less an indie or self made booklet on anything you can imagine! The specific kind of zine you will find here is a collection of art and writing by various creators compiled into a pdf book under a specific theme.How do I join one of your zines?
Read each zine's infodoc to make sure you meet the requirements to join, and fill out the sign up form within the sign up period. Each project will have a public schedule, so you will know when the form will be out!I'm a total zine newbie and don't know where to start, or am thinking about running a zine but don't know what I need to know, help!
