my entry for the @aftgpridezine I am so happy to be a part of the project. Pls check it out to see all the amazing artist writers and cosplayers who have contributed 🧡🫶🏻 I spent nearly 30 hours on this drawing, I hope you all like it 🧡
Hello hello!! Colorful Critters Zine is a project to spread queer joy through cute and colorful animal friends! Artwork featured would be based around colors, flags, and symbols of the queer community, in conjunction with cute animals! The monetary goal would be to raise money for queer charity organizations. Please fill out this form if you're interested in the zine in any way!
okkkkk so I know we just got done with the valentines day zine butttttt I just couldn't get my mind off this idea soooooo..... we're doing it!! ♥️☀️♥️
what's a zine?
for anyone unfamiliar with the term, a zine is basically a digital (or sometimes physical) magazine, that someone or a group of people create about something they're passionate about. for a reference, feel free to also check out our pinned post for the zines we've released so far
so what exactly is this zine about?
basically, just summery aesthetic. the gang hanging out by the pool, a late summer's kiss, the gang going to a pride parade, dennis in a fairy au where he fights charlie for flower pollen.
any and all ships are welcome, of course (and hopefully no need to mention this, but no incest or consent play)
what kind of contributions are accepted?
the contribution just has to be sunny-centric, but it can be drawings, writing, crafts, games, playlists, or just something you're passionate about.
what's the rating?
as previous zines, this will also be pg-13. I don't know if this has to be mentioned, but since there has been a toooonnnn of discourse about this online, kink is allowed at pride :)) kink attire, kink themes, all that jam is allowed, just as long as the submission doesn't depict sexual acts <3 for a more in detail explanation, contact one of the admins or send us an ask here and we can help answer any questions you have.

Video description: Slow zoom out on a lite brite with 3 bats and the text "Shop open" in trans pride colors. Next views are all of a white man putting the lite bright art together. Percussive electronic music plays.
I had the pleasure of drawing for The Lovers, the Dreamers, & YOU: a Muppet Pride Fanzine last year and now it's finally pride!
My piece features a headcanon my friend @dorics injected into my brain a long time ago about the character Jen from the dark crystal reading really well as transfem representation! So here's Kira helping Jen put on a set of fake wings because of course she has wings, she's a girl 🏳️⚧️
“gentle reminder 2 love thy neighbor even if yr neighbor hates yr guts. thats what queer resistance is 2 me”
By Sam Aguba (he/him)
Sam is an 18 yr old trans boy artist & aspiring nurse based in california. He draws for kicks and love. Find more from Sam on instagram
“Atlas (he/him) Under Pressure”
By Quinnton Debolt (he/they)
This piece is representative of the scrutiny and pressure trans people are subjected to every day in order to justify their existence. To some, it can feel like the burden of the world is put on their shoulders.
Quinnton (@quinntoncreates) makes original art for queer people by trans people and finds that expressing himself through various media to be both an outlet of creativity and a way of reminding the world that they exist, an infinite act of defiance.
“SELF LOVE”
By Jack Dane (he/they/she)
To me, resilience as a queer person is hugely driven by how we care for one another within our communities - and how we care for ourselves. My piece SELF LOVE is an exploration in self-care, in making peace with myself and with my body. It’s not always easy, but taking time to reflect on my needs and to tenderly care for this queer self that I inhabit is essential for weathering the trials and challenges that it brings.
“Put Me Back Together” 2024 acrylic paint and embroidery thread on canvas
By Aaron Hutts (he/him) of Aaron Taylor Art
“I Loved Therefore I Was”
By Alexa Scotto (they/them)
I am a multi-disciplinary artist who works both traditionally and digitally, focusing on portraiture and symbolic illustrations. I love to explore the emotional complexities of the human experience, through the lens of others and myself. I also love to depict queer relationships and love as an extension of exploring my own experiences! I am driven by the need to experimental visually or seeking to “answer” questions of mine which cannot be solved through words alone.
Using an old blurred vintage photo, I have painted a queer couple from an unknown time ago. By painting them and bringing as much clarity to their photo as possible, I am bringing their love and experience back to the forefront. This painting serves not only as a representation of their relationship and lives together, but also towards their resilience- to be queer in a difficult past, and now the difficult present.
“Pretender's Practice in Tantalean Punishment” 18in x 24in Acrylic on canvas
By Juniper (they/he) of Juniperteeth
Juniper is a transmasculine mixed-media artist based in the Midwest. His work focuses on human identity and relationships through a surrealist point of view. The piece chosen to represent queer resilience/resistance depicts two recurring figures from their works: Dysphoria and Pretender. Pretender, representing a midpoint of transition, wrestles with Dysphoria to obtain the fruit.
Lil pride comic I made as a contribution to @/queerfanfarezine on Instagram featuring my two original characters, gay axe murderer Bradley and lesbian demonic cult member Carmilla.
Due to many Charms creators requiring a minimum of 50 Charms to create them and unfortunately since the sales of the Zine have not been great. We are unable to meet that minimum requirement and so we are not going to be able to create the charms.
However we will be able to create an alternative product involving the Charms Designs. And we will let you know what that product is in Due Course.
Once again we are very sorry this happened and we will keep you updated on what products will be made available. In the meantime please keep tabs on our Social Media for updates on the new Product.
we've got 100 pages of transmasc art and writing by 54 different creators, and it's on preorder through July 13th!
pick one up today!
