Monkey Socks

My first zine titled Monkey Socks is finished!

Monkey Socks is a 12 page exploration of sock monkeys, the classic and quirky American toy.

The zine measures 15cm x 10.5cm and is photocopied on white office paper. It features original hand drawn illustrations with details made in red pen.

I've made a bunch of copies, but don't quite know what to do with them all so if you are interested in receiving a copy, just drop me a line at: lovemelodyzines@hotmail.com

Welcome!

Hi there,

My name is Amy and I am brand new to the world of zines.

I am drawn to zines because they are a fantastic medium for so many things: artwork, writing, political rants etc. They are also really easy (and cheap!) to make. Plus who doesn't want their work self-published?!

Materials vary, but all I need is some paper, a couple of black and red pens, a ruler, scissors, a stapler, a photocopier and a big imagination.

Voila! A new zine is born! :)
