ZINES

Here are zines I’ve made! They’re listed in the order they were created. I’ve included links to download printable files from Google Drive. You can keep them, share them with friends, put them in little free libraries, etcetera. Just don’t sell them, please. 🙂

Find all zine files in one place here.
