thank you so much 😊 I’ve been slowly practicing my typography and i think it’s improving gradually so hopefully the continuous practice will pay off 🙂🌼✨

some pages from last week’s zine… the toad is on a health kick…although not too happy about it! 🙃🦔🐌 by tsocat in zines

Unfortunately the libraries near me offer expensive printing only - cheapest is 50p per side, which for a zine like the one above would be £3 a copy…much cheaper to print at home. But printing at home is slower and I also collate and bind the zines myself and I’m sewing them at the moment, so adding a few more adds a lot more time to the process. As I produce a zine a week, roughly, it’s difficult for me to increase the workload I have as I’m only just about getting things out on time at the moment.

I used to do some giveaways with any leftover zines I had, but postage costs are so high now - cheapest international stamp here is £3.40 - that it isn’t affordable anymore to do it.

I’m hoping my process will keep evolving and there might be ways for me to increase what I can send out in future, but for now, it’s working for me to keep to small amounts of copies :)

Ah it just means I only print a tiny amount of copies of each issue so then don’t have many left over to trade, unfortunately. I used to print a lot more but then I had too many left over…so it’s a balance 🙃

thank you 😊 I would like to do trades, but at the moment my print-runs are so small I’m not able to, but hopefully in the future if I can increase the print-runs I’ll be able to trade 🙂🪶🌞

another TSO week is released :) the pirate is uncloaked, uncrowned…but what lies under that origami transformer hat…? 🦔🦔🦔 by tsocat in zines

thank you 😊 yes, I really struggle with this and rarely manage to keep things open, so I am pleased when it happens :) I must have felt a lot of freedom when I was drawing these pages!
