I enjoy making them and collecting them. Zines have a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Zine\">long and geeky<\/a> history and often feel very personal. I doubt anyone got rich by selling zines but that&#8217;s part of the appeal. I&#8217;ve bought zines from artists I admire when I couldn&#8217;t afford their other work, buying these is also a form of art collecting since you are getting short runs and experimental pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some zines are available for purchase on <a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/wolfcatworkshop\/shop\">my shop<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Opossum and Magpie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a pop-up zine that tells a visual story between two characters. An opossum and a yellow billed magpie. I tried to choose theme&#8217;s related to California for the spreads and the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yellow-billed_magpie\">yellow billed magpie is native to the state<\/a>. This zine is printed on an inkjet printer, then cut and scored using a Cricut digital cutter, and then assembled by hand. The video below shows the assembly process. <br>I documented the design and making of this particular zine on my Patreon in 11 consecutive posts starting with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/posts\/movable-zine-1-58078121\">Movable Zine, Part 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"820\" height=\"643\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/cover.jpeg?resize=820%2C643&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2061\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/cover.jpeg?w=820 820w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/cover.jpeg?resize=350%2C274 350w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/cover.jpeg?resize=220%2C173 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"820\" height=\"573\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/opossumMagpie.webp?resize=820%2C573&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/opossumMagpie.webp?w=820 820w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/opossumMagpie.webp?resize=350%2C245 350w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/opossumMagpie.webp?resize=220%2C154 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"880\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uGL20g-MhAQ?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;start=276&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-constrained wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2>Imaginary Furniture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I documented the creation of this zine on my Patreon account in the following individual posts: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/posts\/46877742\">New zine in the works<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/posts\/47970749\">Zine progress and pattern process<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/posts\/49363105\">Zine progress with time-lapses!<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/posts\/51885080\">A peek behind the (sketchbook) curtain<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a collection of drawings I did digitally using the popular Procreate app on an iPad.

href=\"https:\/\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/index.php\/like-the-river\/\">elsewhere<\/a> that this is a story about loss with a positive twist at the end. When I drew it I was thinking a lot about this feeling I get sometimes when I&#8217;m with my cat, I truly love this creature but I will most likely live longer than him. Knowing that he&#8217;s going to die makes me sad in one sense, but grateful at the same time because he&#8217;s here now. I suppose it&#8217;s a form of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Memento_mori\">memento mori<\/a> and I&#8217;m hoping to derive a sort of stoic meditation out of it. But in my story the 4 legged character (a stand in for my cat) brings our hero to a cave where he or she comes to some sort of realization, then returns, happily to the waters where he came from. So in that way I wanted to think of that departure as a healthy letting go. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"620\" height=\"620\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/like-the-river-zine-wolfCatWorkshop.jpg?resize=620%2C620&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/like-the-river-zine-wolfCatWorkshop.jpg?w=620 620w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/like-the-river-zine-wolfCatWorkshop.jpg?resize=300%2C300 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/like-the-river-zine-wolfCatWorkshop.jpg?resize=100%2C100 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/like-the-river-zine-wolfCatWorkshop.jpg?resize=220%2C220 220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/like-the-river-zine-wolfCatWorkshop.jpg?resize=50%2C50 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>I did print a few affordable copies of the zine in the intended 4.25 by 5.5 inch size.

One complete drawing per day. Almost all of them were done on paper using actual ink. I went old-school with this one and inked the drawings with a dip pen. <br>As the month of drawings progressed a sort of narrative started to emerge as I kept on drawing some of the same characters in different situations. When it came to organizing the pages of the zine I followed the narrative and not the order in which they were drawn.  Keen viewers can see some heavy influence from <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Theo_Ellsworth\">Theo Ellsworth<\/a>, I love his work and we have been collaborating on another zine and a lot similar ideas migrated here. <br>There are a total of 28 black and white pages, with 3 more drawings on the cover, and the size  is 5 1\/2 by 8 1\/2 inches. The title &#8220;Overgrown Legend&#8221; comes from the Inktober prompts from days 14 and 15.

Although this one is inspired by some colored pencil drawings I did it entirely digitally using the procreate app on an iPad. This process also made it somewhat easier to deal with reproduction.
