my zine
the thing that really got me drawing cartoons was my zine, [list.]. i started writing my zine during my freshman year in college, after my partner, daniel, convinced me to go for it. he had made a zine throughout high school and i had always wanted to, so with his encouragement i went for it. [list.] started out with a traditional collaged, cut and paste zine aesthetic. daniel also made a zine during this time called ‘bike.’ we were all about the one word zine titles i guess. eventually, we decided to do a split zine
daniel is actually a pretty amazing comic artist but he focuses on photography instead, and he’s really amazing at that too. here’s an example of one of the drawings he did in that split zine.
daniel had always drawn some scratchy comics in his, and i was really into reading scratchy comics, so we decided to make a comics edition of both of our zines for the split. little did i know, this would transform the future of [list.] zine forever! from then on, i threw out the cut and paste style and illustrated all of my lists with comics. as a result, my zine became way more popular and i had even more fun making it.
here’s an evolution of the ramsey character and my drawing skills. i made this for the new drawing zine i just put out. details to come.
