#zinetober

[esamastation]

I did zinetober this year, which started as me wanting to give myself incentive to do more art and maybe make some comics - and then devolved into me dealing with the death and funeral of the most important person in my life. I'm honestly shocked I both kept at it through this month and actually finished. Good job, me.

Anyway, did not use any prompts, so they're all kinda whatever. Also, learned that having little physical things of art that you made which you can then fiddle with is very good for happy brain chemicals. Which I definitely needed.

Been seeing a lot of zines on the timeline, so I figured I would make one to share some important information.

If you make any birds of your own, please tag me, I wish very much to see them.

For the end of zinetober and last day of @quezify ‘s eggtober I made a zine of my favorite egg recipe! Full zine and food pics under the cut (along with the scan of the zine so you can print your own!)

I even went to a zine fest and traded it with some folks! It was super super fun :)

Here’s the instructions! Alt text is on all photos.

Now for some glamour shots of one I made yesterday:

And finally, the scan! If you want your own copy of the zine, just print this on a normal piece of paper and look up how to fold a zine :) Enjoy!

Day 3

The prompt was perzine

I’m not too great at drawing cats. I printed out photos to draw tape in for the first time. On the last two pages I didn’t want to draw any more dumb cats or print any picture but I was kinda done talking about him, but I wrote a little bit and drew a couple cats

✏️ ZINETOBER 2023 ✏️

I know every year I tell myself that I'll participate in an artists' drawtober and I never actually complete them :(

This year I got into zines and decided to make a zinetober list. I think it is perfect since it lets me make something once a week without having the pressure of making something everyday.

I'm really excited to start making more zines and hopefully it'll inspire some of y'all to do the same :) ( Also I know we're already 1 week into October and I may or may not have forgotten that I had a Tumblr but we're going to pretend I posted this on time)

Did any other sapphic women pretend to be their childhood heroes growing up and spent a lot of time daydreaming about rescuing the obligatory love interest or was that just me?

Transcript:

The Tales of Robin Hood as told by a Queer Woman

As a kid, I used to pretend to be Robin Hood.

I'd explore the woods with a bow and quiver, acting out tales of bravery.

When I learned to write, I crafted stories of a Robin Hood who was a woman.

Sometimes, I wrote her as a crossdresser. Others, a misunderstanding. Or a legend, purposefully or accidentally misconstrued.

I wrote Little John as a woman too, sometimes. Or he would be a boy. On occasion, I merged him with Maid Marian, so he was something else entirely.

I always left Maid Marian as a woman, though.

I wonder why.
