[zinesiwontfinish]

hiya, so basically

My worst habit (at least I hope this is my worst habit) is having ideas for zines that I don't ever actually put on paper. That, or starting a zine, realising it's a bigger idea than I thought and abandoning it 'for when I have time'. Or maybe the very worst of all, taking so many months or even years to make a zine that my art, and sometimes even my opinions have changed by the time the day to print and staple comes.

I love that zines are in theory this diy, low pressure artform, but even now in my 30s, I struggle to get out of my own way and finish things and share them with people.

What I've decided to do then, is to start sharing the projects I know I won't ever finished here - on what I think of as the lowest pressure social media platform (hope that's still true friends, because its been a while!) - with the thought that if other people are compiling zines on similar topics, then the content could find life on a page as part of a submissions zine. Or maybe other people could be kind enough to steal the ideas outright, and make their own zines liberating my hoarded titles and blurbs from my notes app.

Maybe those things won't happen at all, but I still want to share my old bad art and half cooked ideas and things I don't have the spare time to finish.

Here's a taste of what you can expect:

Every thought I've ever had about Avril Lavinge

A review of an issue of Girl Talk magazine's pop feminism rebrand

A guide to the coolest places to go in lovely Wrexham ♥️

Over enthusiastic cheerleading for community radio

Terrible drawings

Possible drawings

Pages that look great, but I spelt like the main word wrong

Reviews of RTS games I played in 2017

Hope you'll stick with me (never getting over that there's no emoticon for a pritt stick) see you soon.
