I had been trying to make a zine a week, but procrastinating, as usual. Then, in May 2015, I gave the project a name: Sunday Zine. I gave myself a deadline: make a zine by Sunday night or else.

And it worked. I made a zine every week between May 2015 and May 2016. Some of them are repurposed blog posts (Adventure Time), chat logs (1D live in Vancouver), lists (things that start with M), or doodles (walking to America). One zine is just a charcoal rubbing of my parents's stone fireplace (I was desperate, ok).

But I look back on this project with so much affection. I decided to do a thing, and I did it.

Here we are in 2025, and Sunday Zine is still going. Not a zine a week, but a monthly zine jam, and a fortnightly live stream where you can watch me fumble through making something off the top of my head.

I make zines, and you can, too.
