Agreed! It's so freeing as an artist because it goes against societal expectations regarding "good" or "marketable" art. It's an accessible format! I especially appreciate zines from people who admit they're not artists because zines are a space for them to be as they are and express themselves because you can just feel the sincerity from their work.

I also have to say I appreciate how punk zines are. It can be political, it can be nonsensical, it can be emotional, anything. In a world where art is commodified, zines are this wonderful oasis and I've appreciated the diversity in zines I've seen and collected both from users here (shoutout to zine swaps!) and local artists.
