tender, tender
a zine exploring soft and strange feelings.
For this zine project, I prompted contributors only with the word "tender". The results (illustrations, photos, collages, poetry, and playlists) were surprisingly cohesive (and contained far more references to cannibalism than expected). This was my first step into the world of self-publishing and commercial art. Compiling and marketing this project brought forth a myriad of valuable skills to take with me into a future of illustrating and making books.
Below are some photos of the finished product and images of the pages I contributed:
