Via Miss Miranda. Past week I found this interesting challenge:
Taking its cue from 24 Hour Comics Day and with much much much respect to Scott McCloud, the 24 Hour Zine Challenge asks zinesters to create a 24-page zine from conception to final product in 24 hours straight. Zines should be of suitable size and technical difficulty so that this truly is a challenge for individual zinesters. Feeling adventurous? Make an oversized zine! With collage material, all typewritten, with a blockprinted cover! Coptic-stitch bound with silver thread! It’s not called 24 Hour Zine Day because there is not set day. There’s only a deadline for when you need to get the zine finished and mailed: July 31, 2005.
I liked the idea a lot, so I made my own zine. It’s called xoxovo and features random stuff I thought about my recent past and the future. I like the drawings, despite its pencily-poverty, and the experience has been liberating, so I guess I will end up being a zinester 
I like this kind of fast, imperfect work. Is a nice counterpart to the long, slow and perfect works I’m usually involved in.
