sneak peak into...

FIRST ISSUE OF KONZILIJUM! :)

Our independent (maga)zine, inspired by punk fanzines from 80s/90s, striving to spread education for *free* (you will be allowed to print it and share it yourself if you want, too).

This month's issue will contain a variety of articles (analysis of "The silence of the lambs", album of the month "Smak" (1975), feminist discussion of internalised misogyny, "Glass menagerie" short essay, playlist of the month, etc.!)

i think it's an important part of growing into who you want to be on your way out of what you were raised in. whether it's making black out poetry with a book of mormon that you kind of wince at years later or fashioning your string lights into a crown of thorns or nodding a little too hard at the thought of watching south park or "more like LIEble, lol," you're going to go through that phase of oh-so-edgy post-christian atheism. it's a part of growing up. and you'll look back at yourself years later, chuckling at the same jokes with more peace than righteous agreement, knowing you're okay now. it's okay.

Next d20 exchange gift! This time it was for @say-hi-intrepid-heroes :D!! I drew Pete this time - my first ever TUC drawing somehow. Different art style cause my brain wasn't computing anything that wasn't funky

He is everything

your collage on Harry's schizophrenia drives me up the wall, because it's SUCH a cool and well-executed idea and inspires me to try something similar, but comics are so uniquely perfect for it and none of the topics I'd want to focus on are comics. </3

(I guess I don't really have a point to this ask, I just think abt that collage a LOT)

Oh, I absolutely get that frustration, wanting to do something similar with non-comics things!

A comics collage is kind of like an AMV: it lets you relive something you know but cut up to be punchier, and with an additional layer of ideas on top helping reinterpret what you see. Unlike with an AMV, though, the collage makes it equally as easy to use an academic paper as your reinterpretation-medium as it is to use poetry. Or both! At the same time!

The comic format is unique in that... Okay, I'm going to get into an Amateur Media Theory ramble here, so bear with me.

Audio is a one-dimensional medium: you can only go backwards or forwards in it along an axis, and it drags you along at a predetermined speed.

Text is also one-dimensional (there is only one "correct" order in which to read a paragraph), though you can set your own speed.

Images are two-dimensional. Your eye can explore at its own speed up, down, left, or right.

Video is three-dimensional, but the time dimension is not controlled by you (like with audio) and limits your ability to explore each individual image.

The fragmented text of comic books extends some of that user-controlled two-dimensionality to the way you approach words. I can use a combo of comic images + cut-up poetry techniques to change how the reader experiences the texts I'm using as a source.

Anyone writing an essay has to decide on an order in which to introduce their ideas. But what if you wanted to approach your concept as a cloud, or a tree with multiple parallel but contradictory branches? What if you wanted to leave visible gaps in your argument to demonstrate that some parts may be left out on purpose?

I love the idea of "web-weaving" that's popular on tumblr right now. It encourages ideas to be considered together without having to commit to just one linkage or interpretation. Like with comics, it can include images beside text, skipping the necessarily lossy attempts to convert one to the other.

But despite the "web" idea, it's usually presented as discrete chunks of text (or images) for the reader to consider one after another. The reader may construct a web of connections themselves. But in the comics collage, I can show the reader the overlaid jumble of wordless connections, contradictions, and associations much closer to how it appears in my head. High dimensionality, high information density, high creative control--and it all looks pretty darn cool.

Seeing that both making moodboards/aesthetics and fleshing out all of Doc’s “eras” have seem to re-surge in popularity, I’d though I’d jump in on the trend too.

hi all, sorry for the criminal lack of emotes . i'm currently playing a very enthralling game of russian roulette with whoever decided school was a good idea. on a more serious note, school is kicking my ass which loosely translates too -> trying not to fail english 10 ! its going great (lying) . incase you want to find me elsewhere where i may be more active, you can find a bunch of my socials here . i am a criminal lurker on my other accounts because im signifcantly more active on discord ! if society continutes to vote yes on toymotes and i get more popular i may end up making a discord at some point . depends ?? lets discuss in my comments or smth idk ! while im fighting the american school system, i reccomend checking out @memojis ! they're awesome . if ur SUPER DUPER awesome you should check out my kofi :3 here's some recent art / wips as a treat !

~40 pages of something between a digital zine and an annotated research scrapbook on the concept of heart transplantation and the cultural perceptions surrounding it, entitled Change of Heart.

Made this in 2022 for class but Heyzine deletes your zines if they are not viewed in a year so I'm posting it for more people to see!
