Theme: Humility
HUMiLiTY is a collaborative zine featuring 23 artists contributing pieces exploring self-reflection and community outreach. In the age of hyper-individualism, Humility is a concept some can find hard to grasp, as it can apply to ourselves, our loved ones, our not-so loved ones, and a larger sense of belonging in a community. Join us as we dive into all these different interpretations and expressions of Humility.
This project was a fun opportunity for me to put my illustrator skills to use while also getting to tackle an issue I struggle with constantly as an artist and individual. I’m definitely one known to stress the small things so sometimes my most important affirmation is that nothing matters. All the little worries at the end of the day hold no weight and the only thing that actually matters is my own perception of my work and self.

Theme: Start
stART; starting & the state of artists is a 64 page collaborative group zine addressing the current state of the arts community. Artists were asked to make anything related to art practice, careers, post-strike, post-pandemic, hopes for the future, venting about the current state, a reflection of past present future, whatever & however they chose to express themselves through this frustration. Some of us are students, some industry veterans, some social media artists - but we all have beef. Join us through thick and thin as we commiserate, reflect, & inspire ourselves, each other, & hopefully - you.
This project was a perfect opportunity for me and a lot of other crazy talented people to vent/ process our current situation through our art. For me I’ve been battling the decrease in my motivation to create for creations sake. Once I started making art for work and profit I felt as though I lost touch with my inner creative child, whos only drive to create art was for the fun of it. It’s still hard sometimes tp break through the art fatigue but dont worry she still visits sometimes :)
