Next months mailing is ready 💕 Bilobob, roly polys and slugs? Might be my best one yet.
A black and white minizine and colorful matte sticker on a pink background. The zine cover reads, Slugs of the world! And has a big banana slug wrapping around from the back to the front cover. The sticker shows Bilobob, an orange ginkgo leaf character, and the three roly poly kids laying on a picnic blanket with their water bottles and some library books.

Ginkgo petrified forest trip!!
A very beat up old metal sign says, ginkgo gem shop, heart of the ginkgo forest, 1000 feet. The sign is green and yellow with a red heart, partially shaped like an arrow. Behind it you can see fences, power lines, and dry hills.A closeup on beautiful petrified wood covered in lichen! A view of the vantage campsite and shore of the Columbia riverA segment of petrified wood that someone has added an eyeball to, labeled deep sea fish. It was in an exhibit about picture wood- seeing shapes and animals in the wood!

All the shock about the recent revelations that NYC leadership intentionally harmed people to get them back to work more quickly in dangerous conditions where the air was leading to long term illness is pretty ironic considering the current public health situation we’re in.

Printed a zine I made way back in 2018 for this months mailer, to give myself time to work on something big! I only have a few spares so hit me up if you need one :)
This picture shows my hand, with pink sparkly nail polish in honor of Dolly Parton, holding up three collage zines. The cover has a circular picture of a kid holding a cat up to look on a microscope- beneath is the text, responsive to the super fish.This picture shows the back cover of the zine- its many pictures of smiling people from a source I don’t even remember- the text says, death is difficult, publish your book.

Latest kofi mailing! #zinemail #mailinglist #minizine #isopods
A black and white minizine, two black and white roll poly stickers, and a pair of blue and yellow scissors are displayed on my wooden desk. The scissors aren't part of the mailer! Haha. The zine's title is Stuff we saw at shipwreck day!! The words are framed by long wooden buoys on the sides, a vintage camera at the bottom, and a ceramic candleholder with a floral design at the top. The roly poly on the left is shaded with lines, the one on the right has a cloud pattern on its segments and is either rolling up in a  ball or unrolling.

A square sketchbook on a wooden surface, held open by my iridescent nailed hands. The page shows a line drawing in green ink of a big building with some kind of signal tower on top, and the words, July 14 2026 coop patio. It's gonna be a warm one.Same sketchbook, same setting, but this drawing is in pink ink, depicting a little table tray with napkins, hot sauce, and a bouquet of carnations. it reads four minute drawing in hammerhead, July 16.Same sketchbook, same setting, but a brown ink line drawing of hammerhead coffe's sign, power lines, and the side of the coop building.

New stamp, new patches, favorite old stained glass pitcher plant design!! 💚🪰
This stamp design is rectangular at the bottom and rounded at the top- I’m sure this shape has a name, but all I can think is tombstone. It’s done in a stained glass style, with thick black lines radiating out from a little cartoony fly. In front of those lines are two sarracenia pitcher plants,  reaching up through fluffy clouds. This picture shows the pink linoleum stamp with black ink on it, the first impression of it I made on paper, the pencil drawing I used to transfer the image, and a pile of carved out bits and extra blade, next to a wooden tear shaped tool. This picture shows the same stamp design in black ink on a purple floral fabric. Soon to be cut out into a fun patch!!

This months mailing list went out yesterday!!! It’s a good one, containing a big linoprint slug sticker, and an interactive zine full of prompts to help you explore a local park 🐿️ you can snag a copy, or sign up for a new zine every month, at my ko-fi! #mailinglist #activityzine #slugappreciation
The items from my mailing list are laid on a beautiful floral quilt made my a family friends mom. On the left is a large linoprint oval sticker, printed with light blueish teal ink on light brown paper. The design is of a big cartoony slug climbing on soft spongy moss, inside a bubbly frame. On the right is a minizine, which reads, park visit natura journal! And activity zine by Jam. Above these words is a cartoony illustration of a park- a kid and their grownup read a book on a bench while another child bikes by. In the background you can see a big tree, squirrels, a little pond with reeds and a singing bird, two bunnies in the grass, a swing set, and in the din stance, a car, two busses, and a big building across the street.
