Zines!
A zine is a small batch magazine that is self-published by an artist. There's really no more to it than that! No restrictions, no limits, no guidelines. They have roots in the punk scene, and carry with them the ideals of radical self expression and personal freedom to create.
All zines here are designed by Chicky. Most are mini zines printed on one sheet of standard printer paper. They're available for sale or trade. If you're really lucky, you might find one in the wild!

I've wanted to make mini zines for a while now, and I finally got the inspiration I needed from my friend Eric ("Esanch"). Poetry flows freely from him and with it comes a glow of hope that illuminates the world! He didn't ask for anything, didn't expect his poem to be turned into anything, just created for the joy of it.

The first of the Chickencats collection! This is a pocket guide to the most basic rules of chickencats. You'll notice that the guidelines are very loose, and that's by design. There are no wrong chickencats!
