Are you makings zines yet? Are you teaching other people how to make zines? Are you proselytizing about the good word of zines? I've finally updated my website with all of my zinemaking worksheets available to download & use for free. You can find them linked here: studiokori.neocities.org/zines

A cartoon humanoid cat character with a hat, glasses, and a hoodie that reads "make zines!" They're saying "You can do it! Today!!" in speech bubbles, and holding up two booklets, one that reads "My top 10 Duran Duran songs" and one that reads "Herbal teas."
