As I've mentioned before, I've wanted to make a zine since I was in high school but plans always fell apart. However with my new pattern of drawing monsters nearly every day and my frequent re-watches of The X-Files I realized I had the perfect concept for a zine. I actually have ideas for many zines; a different monster theme for each one, the possibilities are nearly endless! But this is <i>Issue One</i>, a general look at monsters with a fun mix of old newspaper clippings, statistics, artwork, stories, and an essay on why we create monsters. Anyway, if you're intrigued you can purchase your copy <a href="http://monsterszine.bigcartel.com/product/monsters-zine-issue-1" target="_blank">here</a>. Hoping to break even and invest any profits into the next issue! We're also accepting contributors, so anyone with some monster art that wants to submit can e-mail me.</div>

Things changed this summer as I started sharing some of my ideas with <a href="http://thedustdancestoo.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">a friend</a> and now I'm excited to say my first zine is nearly at completion. We completed the rough cut and now we're waiting on some local printers to receive the limited run of 100 we ordered. Once the finished zine is in my hands there will be further updates and details of the contents, but for now you can preorder your very own <a href="http://monsterszine.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Monsters Zine Issue 1 here</a>. It's $12 with shipping included within the US and preorders will ship on December 20th. The zine is more than twenty pages of original artwork, stories, and even an essay exploring the origins of monsters myths. I really love how it's this big mix of interesting facts, cute illustrations, and entertaining anecdotes all tied together by the theme of monsters. More details to follow!</div></div>
