If you just want to see all my zines that are currently available to download/print out, see my patreon zine collection page. Many of them are for paid members, but it’s only $2/month for the digital tier and you’ll get access to them all! (For $5/month you’ll get a printed zine in the mail every month.)
I started making zines for my college radio station in 2001, whoa, and then I made my first personal project zine in 2007, called Do Stuff! Here’s me back then pointing to the zine—the cover of that zine is a photo of me in second grade pointing at a painting I made.
That zine isn’t available anymore, but I did distribute a few hundred copies at the time so if you have it that’s cool!

I started wanting to get back into zine-making in recent years and I started with my little pizza-making zine in 2023:

I started 2025 by making a movies-of-2024 zine! I got obsessed with making a giant crossword puzzle, as well as multiple other connect-the-dots and other puzzles, and illustrations, and lists of movies and stuff:

Before tabling the Portland Zine Symposium in November, I made a mini-zine as a business card to give away. It’s 8 pages (including covers) and measures 1.375 x 2.125 inches. I’ve since updated it for 2026 and added a teeny tiny crossword puzzle inside!
get one of these from me in person!
Also in November, I turned one of my favorite old patterns (originally released in 2012) into a zine: Either/Or!

For May I revisited the 2021 time capsule idea with a zine about a music playlist I created in that year, the zine being mostly lyrics from the songs in the playlist, all hand-lettered:
In June I did my first collaborative zine, with my friend Anna—she wrote the words and I drew hand-drawn versions of photos she’d taken of doors while traveling. This whole zine was riso-printed for the print version, and the digital pdfs come in a couple of different colored versions:
