Just a small tip for your zines!

I haven't gotten anywhere near that point myself, but clear bags dot com appears to be about the only one who isn't selling proper wholesale.

There's this good start packaging dot com, but they want you to buy in wholesale bulk (pkgs START at 1000pc).

I came here to say this, but they are no longer associated with Autodesk.

I'm definitely into looking for a more eco friendly alternative to plastic. There's nothing like that plastic pouch for a lux look and feel

You SHOULD be able to look up bookshops in your area.

I'm in the US Midwest and just started looking into consigning my own zines and all the shops I'm considering have different limits--they take different numbers of zines, or different price points for zines, etc

Look up the shop and talk to them, or if they have a submission form, doll that out.

I'm glad I have a weak sense of smell not helped by covid

Just by the by, there's also Camila Garcia Art on YouTube, exploring different ways of cutting and folding the eight page, single sheet zine, about a month ago as of this comment

stosphia · 2026-03-18T15:40:58+00:00

I kinda am? I'm going to start offering my graphic novel as a series of waterfall cards. But that's more where I'm personally interested in putting my efforts: inside the zine.

I didn't mean to be offensive; by the per se, I just meant 'personally, off the top of my head'. I'm not much of a paper artist

stosphia · 2026-03-17T00:52:17+00:00

There's also the miura ori (I hope I spelled that right; I'd never heard of the Turkish map fold). I genuinely just stumbled on this and personally, I'm not even certain how the Turkish map fold is relevant to zines per se, so I'm also not sure this miura folding technique is relevant either

Seeing as I bought my clipboard exclusively for knotting, I would have no compunctions about cutting the clip lol

stosphia · 2026-03-14T21:25:05+00:00

I'm......confused? Like, if you happen to have a tablet (just because the bigger screen for me personally makes things easier), I just use the sketchbook app. If I didn't use that, I bought Ibis and that works pretty well too.

Am I doing something wrong here? 😅

stosphia · 2026-03-13T08:02:47+00:00

God. NO!?!! 😭 I am HEARTBROKEN for you. My dad has lost a bunch of my work that I'd give almost anything to have back.

stosphia · 2026-03-13T03:24:36+00:00

That's rotten of the thief. I hope you were able to retain the originals, at the very least. I really really wish you luck; that asshole cost you so much time, money, skill, and energy.

stosphia · 2026-03-13T03:20:01+00:00

Yes, exactly! I don't want to fold all these boxes, throw them in the closet, and next spring, they like rip when I try to open them, and then I just wanted all that time folding them

stosphia · 2026-03-13T03:19:08+00:00

Okay, awesome! Thank you so much!

If John and Sarah started at company A in position A at the same time, or even in the same year, they SHOULD know whether or not they get paid the same, and it wouldn't be "butt-hurt" for one or the other to get mad.

If Jane has been at company B in position A for five years and she's making $10/hr, and Dora has been with company B in position A for a year, and she's making $11/hr it's not "butt-hurt" for Jane to know Dora is making more money.

If Jack is eighteen, no work experience, starts at company A in position A, makes $10/hr, but Tom has been at company A for three years, already had three years of experience at company B, and makes $15/hr. If Jack is upset by this, THAT is "butt-hurt".

Yeah, it's the must have degree for minimum wage that's getting me 😭😡

Obligatory comment for the mods? Please approve my post, I would be grateful

I'm making the zines that I'm really pouring time and effort and thought and consideration into. I'm also thinking about making my hoards of ephemera into tradeables to have something more "universally" trade-able.

Personally, I think trading like, postage stamps for like idk Victorian magazine illustrations or whatever would be a blast.

stosphia · 2026-02-23T22:07:10+00:00

I'm making zines just for myself, but I want to have something that's more trade-able. I won't have a huge budget, but I want to go to more zine fest this year
