Using an Electronic Tool in a Very Handmade Process

in Art.19 days ago (edited)

What unique crafts are you taking with you in 2025?

For me this is, of course, the art of making zines! and today I wanted to share another short video behind the scenes of my booklet making practice.

▶️ Watch on 3Speak

From writing to designing then later formatting and printing, I am involved in each and every step of the creation of my zines and ... I wouldn't have it any other way!

And though this is a very analog type of art, I want to keep the world of zines feeling dynamic even in this modern world of digital everything. That is why I have challenged myself to create short form content about my zine making. I hope to inspire others to transform their words, art, and ideas into physical form by showing them just how simple zine making can be!

The background music is : "Seeds" by Crumb. That song and many others can be found via Crumb's bandcamp.

You're amazing, it's been many years since I've read the word "fanzine", when I used to buy little magazines about anime series that sometimes came to Venezuela imported from Mexico under the slogan "by and for fans".

But I'd never seen a fanzine made entirely by hand, the combination of modern tools to create DIY material is... it's such a refreshing twist and full of possibilities!

I feel spectacularly inspired after watching this minute of video and the music selection is so on point, please keep sharing your process and previews of your zines ; A ; I really want to see more!
