A couple little comics about trying on wedding dresses. Overall it is a very strange experience but also fun.

November WBMC Zine: Tooth, Mouth, Nail by Chris Kim

"tooth, mouth, nail" outlines my experiences starting testosterone and coming out to my family, followed by their backlash in 2021. Part of the struggle was the isolation I felt due to a stark lack of intersectional trans stories, so this comic is a way for me to add to that conversation as a 2nd generation Korean immigrant. Recovery from familial rejection is difficult, but it's possible, and I hope my story speaks to someone out there ~ @veggiecakeface

Tooth, Mouth, Nail is being published as limited run of physical zines, available during November 2023 only!

The WBMC publishes a new zine from trans/queer artists each month and mails them to you! Join at $6/mo to get on our monthly zine mailing list AND a print with your first delivery!

Hourly Comic Day: 2022 edition

This never ended up on tumblr back when I made it, which is kind of a shame since this one turned out really neat! I think the colors are really striking and graphic, past me did good here.

(I would also like to give past me a high five for taking the minutae of SPREADSHEETS and making it interesting to look at ahaha)

had a fun conversation with someone I went to highschool with who understood the very specific kind of gender envy I have about priests and dominican monks specifically, so I've decided to embrace whatever the hell that is and create an artist sona of myself that dresses a certain™ way but with inverted crosses because jaime hewlett drew that one (redacted) illustration and oh my god I hate the horny thoughts I've been plagued with because of it

#also people who do actual auto bio type comics where they draw their actual self in their actual clothes? can't relate #i'd HATE that #i do NOT want to see the self reflected in a stupid comic about how i accidentally romeo and juliet-ed ascanio and machiavelli

[foolstemper]

when you whittle my politics down to their most simplistic... all i want is for everyone to be okay.

It's Lonely At The Center Of The Earth: An auto-bio-graphic-novel by Zoe Thorogood. Image, 2023. 9781534323865. Publisher's Rating: M / Mature. https://www.powells.com/book/-9781534323865?partnerid=34778&p_bt

First I want to say this book is absolutely beautiful to look at. It moves between illustration styles in a way that feels totally organic, and Thorogood's storytelling talents and the range of illustration styles she employs wowed me in the same way Mike Huddelston's did when I read Decorum. I started a review copy of this book on my iPad and absolutely had to see what it looked like on paper so I rushed out and bought a copy, and I'm not sorry I did that at all. I'm going to loan this book out to a lot of folks I know but I'm keeping it for me.

But here's the thing, this book isn't for everyone, though I hope each of you picks it up. Thorogood starts it by letting us know she's been considering stabbing herself in the neck with a knife. And wondering if the book she's writing, the book we're reading, is just a performance that she can't stop. But she commits to recording six months of her life in an effort to try to make sense of herself (and her depression). It includes bits of her in the past, both as a weird kid being bullied and a young artist getting praise from comics pros and then a book deal. It does not turn into a romantic comedy even when it feels like it might. It's painful and funnier than I can explain and super sad in lots of moments. Thorogood's depiction of the No-Face-ish creature that is always behind her, which no one else can see, is particularly freaky.

There are SO many types of zines, sometimes it’s hard to keep track of! Here is a list of common zine categories with links to either free to read zines, descriptions, or artist shops and zine distros to buy from!

art zine - Zines that are filled with art, photo, collage, etc. This could be a sketchbook zine, drawings under a singular theme, or a general compilation of art. This is the most common type of zine produced by artists!

Subject of Devotion, Sabrina Mellado (For Shortbox Comics Fair). This was a digital collection of sketchbook scans available for free, compiled on her website

comic zine - Writing and drawing a self produced and printed comic! Another popular category of zines for artists. Also: Diary comic zines, Auto-bio Comic Zines.

How to Survive a Haunting, Jade Zhang Duende, Elle Shivers

fanzine - Fan-drawings, comics, writing, meta, fiction, etc. compiled into a self-published work!

I know the internet has taken over what many people, especially in fandom, understand a zine to be, but anyone can make a zine and anyone can make a fanzine. At the zine library I used to help maintain, there was an 8 page mini that was just a bunch of Idris Elba pics with cute kaomoji’s saying “i love uwu idris elba <3”. The first media fanzine was published in 1967, for Star Trek called, “Spockanalia.” Seriously, all you need to do is be impassioned by a subject to write, collage, or draw something about it!

Stitching Together, Annie Mok (Available to read for free, but I encourage you to send her a tip as she has recently been in recovery from surgery and is also on food stamps https://ko-fi.com/heyanniemok/shop) Good Chicken, Natalie Mark (Me! Is self promo okay?)

info zine - A zine that shares information. This can be informational, or it can be an instructional zine such as a “DIY Zine” or a “Recipe Zine.”

Trans/Disabled Bibliography, Saul Freedman. I don’t have a link to this one, but it was a really wonderful and short zine of both citations and a love letter to the works cited. Instead, I have linked you to Saul’s zine page on his website 🤠 Patchwork Primer: how do we find what we’re not looking for?, kaythi and seiji. This info zine was created for an event I organized for people creating zines on the margins. I invited the two of them to co-program an activist book club for the event!

litzine - A “literary zine” can be a collection of fiction, poetry, prose, etc. that is self published and distributed as a zine. Also called “lit zine”, or “literary zine”. Some people prefer “chapbook”, or “poetry zine” for poetry.

My favourite litzines are not available anywhere online, so I will describe one of them for you? Todo Parecia de Cristal / “Everything Looked Like Crystal”, Laura Rojas is a collection of photos of the artist’s mom and her siblings growing up paired with journaling between 2015-18. They couldn’t bring photo albums with them when the moved to Canada from Colombia, and the photos had been mailed to her years prior to the making of the zine.

perzine - A “personal zine” focuses on the artist’s life, opinion, or thoughts in some capacity. A zine about yourself, your experiences, your life, a particular memory, your feelings, etc. This is my favourite type of zine!

Sonali Menzes/glittermagpie has some really awesome perzine and info zines about anxiety and mental illness. I have her zines, So you’re anxious as fuck, and You’re so Exotic. Keet Geniza/Make! Shift! Love! is another favourite zinester! I love Keet’s perzine series, Picking Bones, which are full of reflective auto-bio comics and prose. Your Whiteness is Boring: A Gender Perzine, Cleo Peterson.

political zine - Dealing with political topics, anarchy, communism, social justice, historical movements, and present day issues.

An Illustrated Struggle for Housing from Canada to the Philippines, Julie Guevara Autonomous Resistance To slavery and Colonialism, Russell Maroon Shoatz. (Note, the prices on Brown Recluse Distro are for BIPOC only, white people and institutions are asked to donate an extra $5 USD)

Hourly Comic Day: 2024 edition!

I had a pretty uneventful day, which is something I generally treasure and thus won't complain about drawing. I feel like the point of these for me is always to focus on the small and think about the sense of community that comes from sitting down to do something at the same time someone else (or many someone elses) sits down to do the same.

I originally picked that blue pigment to shade with because I'm trying to use it up, but it ended up raining most of the day and the blue was a very good color to capture that mood.

See you all next year! (And back to regularly scheduled art posts tomorrow)
