i'm too lazy/broke to ever fold my own zine but i write a blog and am down to write for anyone else's zine. i'm all for it and if i wasn't such a piece of shit i'd have been making my own for yrs instead of occasionally contributing to other peoples'. SAUCE is rad, COMETBUS ain't about skating but it's prolly the best/longest running one. i've done stuff for EXCESS! outta wyoming and 'the loin's mouth' in SF [that one wasn't skate related either].

Avantafro is a conceptual artist. he is involved in so many cool projects , fells like willie wonka is taking you for a ride in his fantastic zine factory !

his design studio makes lots of photo and collage zines. you can see some of them here

http://www.avantafromicropress.tumblr.com/ (http://www.avantafromicropress.tumblr.com/)

in my humble opinion they evoke that fancy anarchy tradition from L.A.s NOMAG, with pretty disturbing takes on reallity !

ABSOLUTELLY ZIPPO chronicles the east bay scene ,from the dawn of Gilman Street Project to the punk explosion of the 90s to  everything happening right now!

a book collects in 400 pages all issues from 1988 to 1998 ,

its beautiful photocopy aesthetics and brilliant written articles make this zine a must to all anarchy lovers  !

 trades or $1 for most....issue #49 and 42 is $2...then the postage is about $1 and add about 50 cents more multiple issues.
For international orders i think just add $1 to the postage.

HIRNPLATZT from Austria releases high luxury comix  in very limited runs . here are some of them :

VICTOR DUNKELS NECROFIXION is scary. feels like you are doing something really wrong and evil just by looking at it.disturbing revelations of black arts leading into eternal sin, truly inspired by the devil . this cat  from spain is the next Goya no doubt about it. a few centuries ago and they would have thrown him in the fire !

B.I.BURKE by MICHAEL OLIVO is an epic 50 page comix without words, an experimental take on rambo in his first night as a gay in the army tripping on acid ! absolutelly insane!

FIGHTING FOR FOOLISM  by JOHANNES STAHL looks like art from  medieval grimoires with some references from the future in them  . a beautiful collection of photos drawings and collages  .


SNOW & CO by DIETER VDO is a weird gang from hollow earth creatures and their delightful adventures  fighting for good vs evil.so much fun in the details  great art , great characters, one of the best comics ever !

you can learn more about them here

I'm trying to put a photo zine together of my skate crew/artsy friends in SF, I have no idea where to start as far as the physical process of making a zine goes. I'm looking for some good/decent quality paper & printing, you guys think it's better to gather everything myself and do it DIY style or make it happen with a publishing company/printing press? There's a place called photoworks that can do it that runs around $110 for about 20 copies in black and white, seems fair?

That seems fair if that's what your looking for, to me the whole fun of putting zines together is laying it all out yourself. However if you are looking for something that looks professional then the learning curve might be pretty steep.

Try downloading Adobe creative suite and messing around with InDesign. You can download version 2 or whatever for free online, a quick google search should help you track it down and from there a few YouTube tutorials should point you in the right direction.

I can help you out with any indesign or layout issues.


This thread got me a little inspired. I'm thinking about making a photo zine in a few months if I can come up with some good shots. I design booklets and shit all day at work, but I never get to do anything for myself really, so a zine sounds kinda fun.

the big apple has a great line of innovative zines and nobody exemplifies this better than MICHELLE SPADAFORE ! i will let her introduce herself :

= My grandmother was the original zinester. She d take me with her on errands and out to Chinese food. One of her regular errands was the local copy store where she would print up these little booklets which included her poems and drawings. We d go to the post office and she d mail out the booklets to family and friends. So, I feel like I'm carrying on a tradition somehow. Hope you dig it.=

well how cool is that !?!

HAIKU & HOLGA is the supreme delight ! Old school cut and paste mixed media. Full color version.block printing.a compilation of word snapshots and Holga photos make the magic happen !

what a trip !

i was hooked after the first line !!!

the melodies she creates are amazing you will naturally sing them in awe and love her sweet music , reading these poems late at night in silence !

 and the images are so beautiful and dreamy !

i cant make them full justice !

any shoegazer fan out there waiting for the album of the year from my blood valentine or robin guthrie will get a fix out of this oustanding zine !you guys should really check it out this is really inspiring!

zines for zines or $2

hey mike remember a florida cartoonist who got A restraining order in the 90s whats his name mike deanna  something like that
Michael Loughlin
23:21
Michael Loughlin
i'm not sure, was he drawing bestiality or something?
Brix Skwikz
23:21
Brix Skwikz
i cant seem to find it
this guy s been wiped out of the planet
Michael Loughlin
23:22
Michael Loughlin
i think i know who you're referring to. he had a piece of the book 'apocalypse culture' by adam parfrey but i just tried finding about the cartoonist and nothing came up.
gg allin and jim goad were also in there as i recall.
Brix Skwikz
23:25
Brix Skwikz
yeah bro lets track him down he s gotta be somewhere
Michael Loughlin
23:26
Michael Loughlin
heh, maybe contact adam parfrey at feral house? i know jim goad mentioned the guy because he sorta got charged w/ thought crime or something. like you're sposedta have freedom of speech. goad either wrote about him on his website or name dropped him in taki's magazine. not recently but maybe in the past yr or so.
Brix Skwikz
23:28
Brix Skwikz
yah bro you are in the right track
Michael Loughlin
23:29
Michael Loughlin
goad went to prison for hitting his girlfriend but mostly cause he wrote a zine talkin about 'let's hear it for violence against women' and made a bunch of feminists mad. i haven't read apocalypse culture since the mid 90s but i feel like everyone who was in it had a rough go of it afterwards.

Bumping in case anyone checks this thread. I made a zine if anyone is down to trade.

I finished up my first photo zine not too long ago. Its 24 pages + cover, 5.5x8.5", full bleed, laser printed, hand cut and stapled, all that great stuff. Edition of 10. If anyone is interested in one, I'd be down to trade for zines, prints, drawings, or anything else you guys make. I have a few left, so if you're interested pm me your address and I'll drop one in the mail for you.

How do you guys get the layout for your zines?
is it something done in photoshop/illustrator?

I have no idea how to use either of those things, I can barely use MS Paint.

I'm thinking of making a rough fold and cut zine (2x8 panel a3 size paper) and stapling them together.
laying out the paper, pasting the images on and then photocopying that however many times feels necessary

it'll probably be super sketchy but we will see how it turns out.

hopefully you guys can help out so I can make it better

How do you guys get the layout for your zines?
I just messed around to see what worked and what didn't. Looked at older Thrashers, Transworlds, and porn mags to get some ideas. A lot of cut and paste but the beauty of it is u can do whatever the hell u desire.

Was in the middle of making one (20 pages done) two years ago n  had my kid. Since then, the project has been at a standstill on account of I don't skate with anybody anymore and my bike rides are severely limited (Used to just run into people sessioning spots, ask permission, then take pictures). Shit, I got a pic of Tom K's first Zero ad just riding along the beach trail before work, Even got a Phanner photo a year before he was in any mags or videos.

Looked through whats done recently and decided to do it more like a skate/bike riding thing. Planning a ride from Long Beach to Oceanside (The Orange County ride) soon and see how things work out.

Glad to see this bumped. Just the other day I found an old skate zine I made for college, and while it was fun to make the content was very rushed and suited to appeal to a class rather than a wide skate audience. Been trying to brainstorm what kinda stuff I would write about if I were to make another.

Ideally you want to use a page layout program like indesign. I'd discourage anyone from using photoshop because that just seems like a nightmare. Illustrator would suffice, but only if you don't have access to indesign.

The thing with zines is they can be as rough or as polished as you want. you could take a few sheets of 11x17" paper, fold them into a book, then take prints of whatever you want as your content and tape or glue them to the pages to make a master copy, then photocopy that a bunch of times. It might take some trial and error, but you could do that without even opening a design program. For something more polished, you definitely want to use indesign or something similar. Set up your document with a page count in a multiple of 4, make sure you have facing pages turned on, decided weather or not you want your content to bleed (more work and possible more expensive if you do) and make sure you add at least a .25" bleed to your document. Then fill the pages with content and print using the print booklet feature. Make sure you select to have your crop marks and bleed marks printing and know that you need to print on a larger size sheet if you're going to be cutting it down. Then it's just scoring the pages down the center so they fold easier, cutting them out, then binding the book together.

If anyone needs more help, shoot me a PM.

Ah cool to see this thread, I just started work on a zine of my own. I did a quick sort of mock-up one just by hand on some 8"x11" paper folded over into a booklet. All hand drawn and written. I'd like to make a nice glossy one sooner rather than later, I need to look into costs etc. though. I have a feeling I'm going to lose money in the long run, but whatever I suppose. ART AIN'T ABOUT THE MONEY MAN.

Haven't put out a zine in awhile. For couple of issues, I actually had them profesionally printed but I really prefer the hand cut and paste and photo copy approach these days.

I'm down to trade. I' ve got copies of issues 2,3,4 of my zine foulweather. My last issue had a skate related story in it and my attempt at a horror short story... plus some other crap...

Thanks to you guys for Inspiring me to do a zine . Reading your comments and seeing what you did was the push I needed . Someone recommended indesign and I totally forgot my friend marky is a graphic designer so he was able to do the layout in no time . I Took the photos . Pretty stoked how my 1st issue came out . Definitely a few things I need to add/fix . I’m down to trade .

So I have an idea for a zine and I have a few things I want to get at and I need you guy's help, this is what I got so far


For as many goddamned years I have put into this kvlt piece of wood with wheels, I have few bones to pick. I am here to let you motherfuckers know a few things. For everything we do it has been been bitten off by evil corporate succubus and silver tongued butthole lickers.  Music Fashion Chic couture

Hate the idea of your style being stolen? Be better then than them, we experienced it already throughout the early to late 90’s. When being punk wasn’t cool and just looked lazy to upgrading out kits with fitted Baseball hats, Polo, khakis, and cargo pant’s when that started becoming lame and getting used by your atypical bro douchebag we switched it up again. Ali Boulala Jim Greco were at the forefront of switching it up, although with questionable identities and sidepipe viewing tight pants like the Krew AR’s.


Even the worst parts of skating’s questionable fashion sense we’ve held true to our core beliefs. 


Which leads me to this rant about how not to blow it when finding your identity in the skate scene, if you can’t make it with talent at least slow your roll and listen up to the older dudes on SLAP. Yes they’re a bunch of grumpy tinfoil hat wearing Alex Jones which will take a rumor and make an entire thread about a post or a team member being let go. However it is good to understand that skating and style are what speaks most of a person, the rest is bullshit, have a whack style or have some lame YouTube* Vlog like Revive/Braille you will be laughed at.  The best and most humble skaters are the ones who don’t speak much and let their actions speak for them.

*The only exceptions to YouTube is Ben Degros and those that are building DIY projects for everyone to use and respect

No vibing, No outsiders, No elitists, No kooks, this is our scene and not something to rip off by your shitty Instagram/Etsy social media.

i don't understand what you're asking for help with. but my suggestion is learn indesign, how image sizing/printing works, then get the content. unless you're trying to make something in Microsoft word, which might help given your typos in that post.

but if youre serious, i know there are little things you may come across like setting up page bleeds, file types and color spaces that are easy to forget but will make things come out exactly how you want in print. so feel free to ask specifics cause making zines is fun and really cool to be able to hand out to friends or sell to people.

Well honestly what I want to do with this particular zine is I am going to size it up and print it out and photocopy much like Aaron Cometbus. Half writing and cut and pasting and photocopying.

 I just was asking for points to bring up in my rant of bullshit as an opener, does it come off as too preachy or condescending?  I want this to be a something with you guy's input kinda more angrier version of Lowcard but with shows shops to go to, record reviews, what is rad and and what is dogshit, not going to be lie I want it to piss someone off.

I think Zines are awesome and FMS does a great job on East Coast Overdose. Definitely take his advice on the subject. Including using Microsoft Word for spell check. Seriously dude say “Not going to be lie” out loud.

Also if its your first Zine it’ll probably only be circulated through your circle of friends so you can just save time and piss one of your friends off the normal way. Save a tree.

I have done punk zines in the past, I want to ask for others opinions on certain issues. right now I am writing how not to blow it at a demo or a meet and greet.


When at a demo or contest try to be observant and courteous they came to skate with you/for you. also no one wants a hometown hero trying to show off. 

 If you have questions or want to get to know the people of your favorite teams or whatever sit back and just watch listen and it comes your time to shine don't drop names as that makes you look like a dickhead try to be yourself and for fucks sake don't ask them for their board.

Are interactive .pdfs still zines?
Is it possible to have copy next to embedded videos thru InDesign?
Maybe a more suitable file format?

My friend at Vice told me it takes one acre of rainforest to generate a .pdf :’(

You’re right though, I always consider a Zine as a tangible item but it can most definitely be a file which saves money/time and has the potential to reach a larger audience.

I guess I just feel like a Zine should be made to be circulated through a local scene. If it makes its way somewhere else then thats awesome but if your doing it publically and hoping for a broad audience its more of a “Blog” in my opinion.

Started out doing a hardcore punk zine in 1999 called "Pulling Punches" for about a year and a half.
Then shifted focus to more comics/sci-fi/horror movies and a name change to "Too Cool For School" and that went for about 12 issues.

Currently working on a few zines, have one called "5 Questions for 5" that has interviews with Neckface, Steve Olson and others (hit me up for a free copy).

I think a zine can really be delivered in any way (digital or otherwise), one of my zines was released in an engraved bottle and written on a typewriter. I once saw a dude do zines on floppy disks and hand them out.

Everyone should make zines, it's so fucking easy.
A4 back to back, fold in half and staple... 

EDIT: I do all my zines cut and paste, so literally print out screenshots of the interview and then cut and paste them straight onto paper (literally with sellotape), take them to officeworks and get them printed there.

For those who drive dirt roads, explore back country areas, and need a dose of outdoors humor, I finally got an issue done.
