All the new zines I'm debuting at Chicago Zine Fest this weekend! @chicagozinefest.bsky.social

A poster for Chicago Zine Fest. A rat and pigeon stand on top of the Marina City complex. The pigeon says "We're gonna Yankee Hotel until we Foxtrot!" The rat replies "I think I'd rather Sufjan until I Stevens." Text reads Saturday, July 19, at Harold Washington Library, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. A sign reads "Come visit Passenger Pigeons Comics & More at table 36!"
Two weeks until Chicago Zine Fest (@chicagozinefest.bsky.social)! Come visit me at table 36!

"Just go indie" comes from a good place, but it's aimed in the wrong direction. No artist has ever, EVER needed someone to tell them "You should make your own work." That's not the problem.
The problem is there is zero, and often actively depressive, structural support in our society for artists.
Made a little zine about one of my favorite musicians.

A comic panel with a young duck and pigeon standing at the door to an owl's house. The pigeon has a backpack and a propeller hat. The duck has a backwards-facing baseball cap. The owl looks tired and is wearing a toupee, a tie, and pants. The owl asks: "What do you want?" The duck answers: "Mr. Neighbor Owl, Jay took Milo's Gameboy. Can you help get it back?"
Sometimes I draw something and instantly vibe with it. I'm really feeling this owl.

A number of copies of "You Should Be Watching The Young Pope" laid on top of one another, printed in red, white, and yellow.
A gif showing "You Should Be Watching The Young Pope" unfolding.
I made a fanzine about why you should stop what you're doing, sit down, and put on the Young Pope. Also partly about why I didn't like Conclave.

The cover of the summer issue of the Carrier Pigeon Quarterly. A pigeon, a rat, and a crab, make a snowman out of sand on a beach. A notice at the bottom says "Submissions closing soon!"
What is it? It's a quarterly guide to zine and comix releases. Think of it like an old school catalog for the Scholastic Bookfair, except it's a zine! Just to be clear, this isn't a bunch of reviews. If you have a zine or comix that you made and that you feel is worthwhile, then I feel it's worthwhile, too, and more people should know about it! When does it come out? Quarterly! The last issue came out in March, and this issue is planned for a June printing! After that, I'll have one coming out in September. Does it cost anything to submit? No! If you're an independent creator, I want as much money as possible to stay in your pockets. I'm doing this as a way to build community and to help folks find cool new stuff, not to pay rent!
How do I submit? To make things as easy as possible, I have a handy Google form to use! To see what info goes into the issue, please check out that form. What if I just want to know when this issue comes out? If you just want a little heads-up when the next issue comes out, I've got a mailing list for that. When issues do come out I sell them for $1 (+ $1 shipping) on my Ko-fi page. Alternatively, I usually give away free copies at any zine fest I table at.
Submissions for the Summer Issue of the Carrier Pigeon Quarterly are closing soon! If you have a new zine or comix you'd like featured, submit today!

Made a last minute bundle of old and new zines for San Marcos Zine Fest this weekend.
#zine #zines
A poster for San Marcos Zine Fest. On the poster a green heron stretches its neck at a butterfly saying "EEP!" Standing nearby are a pigeon and an axolotl. The pigeon says "You know, my neck could do that before I turned 30!" The axolotl asks" Really?" San Marcos Zine Fest is on May 3 from 12-5 pm at Green Heron Bookshop in San Marcos, TX.
I'm gonna be tabling at San Marcos Zine Fest on May 3 and I can't wait! If you're in the Austin/San Marcos area, come by and say hi!

Multiple, different color copies of a zine titled "Rambles in the Mormon Capital" featuring a picture of a sphinx sculpted with the face of Joseph Smith.
New zine of photos and essays I put together from a recent trip to Salt Lake City.

A hand holding a zine. The cover of the zine is in black and white and depicts a sphinx with the face of Joseph Smith. The cover reads "Rambles in the Mormon capital."
B&W test for a new zine. Is it weird that I kinda like how it looks with my crappy home printer? #zine

The cover of Noah Van Sciver's "Joseph Smith and the Mormons" flanked by two, mirrored bookmark collages depicting a gold, tipped temple in the midst of a northeastern forest, looked down upon by two angels bathed in golden light.
Book #10 of 2025: JOSEPH SMITH AND THE MORMONS by Noah Van Sciver
A recent trip to Salt Lake City has sparked my morbid curiosity on the Mormon church. Given that I love Noah's stuff and have read a criminally small amount of it, this felt like a good solution to both problems. It absolutely was.
The cover of Sarah Wynn-Williams's "Careless People" flanked by two, mirrored bookmark collages.
Book #9 of 2025: CARELESS PEOPLE by Sarah Wynn-Williams
I read this with a grain of salt, cautious of how much was just damage control, but I still enjoyed it. It doesn't say anything I couldn't have already guessed, but the sheer concentration of horror stories is still effectively depressing.
Also, if you'd like an idea of what the finished issue will be like, the Spring issue was recently featured in a video by Dayna of catmothcrow!

The cover of "Carrier Pigeon Quarterly, a guide to zine and comix releases, summer 2025 issue." In the image, the sun sets over a beach scene of a pigeon in a hat, with sunblock on its cheeks, building a snowman out of sand, a bucket, sunglasses, a hotdog, a slice of watermelon, some shells, and a shovel. A crab watches. In the background, a rat stands next to a towel and sandcastle, wearing a speedo, drinking a can of soda. On the towel is a book that reads "New zines & comix."
Do you make zines or comix? Do you have a new one you'd like to tell people about? If so, consider submitting to the summer issue of the Carrier Pigeon Quarterly, a guide to zine and comix releases, set to be printed in June!
