Are you guys thinking of doing Lotus Zine #2? Ive seen the first zine and i loved it

Thanks for your interest! At the moment the committee leadership does not have the time to begin the cycle for a second volume, but we haven’t completely given up on the idea. We hope to bring you vol. 2 in the future--stay tuned. 

(If you’re well organized, have the time, and have relevant experience with zines, feel free to send us an ask off anon if you’d be interested in working with us to spearhead vol. 2.)

Kite-flying during Makar Sankranti is something I’ve always wanted to illustrate! You see kites everywhere, and it’s so incredibly cool, I’m excited for the festival every year ☀️ 

(for the @lotuszine!!)

lotus zine is finally out!! ive been waiting to share my piece for months! i tried to style it after old aids awareness posters, and the tamil up in the ribbon says “we are not the disease.”

if you want to see more south asian lgbt content from the zine, i highly recommend buying it! a digital copy is only $5, and a digital and physical are $10. all proceeds go to orinam, an indian-based lgbt support group!  💖🏳️‍🌈

hi! I wasn’t able to make a purchase before the deadline so I was wondering, would you guys ever consider opening a second round of pre orders for vol. 1 in the future?

Hi, please contact us through either DMs on twitter or email us at [email protected]. We can definitely work something out!

Also, generally there is a possibility of orders being reopened based on demand. Hope this helps!

Hi! I just wanted to double check something, even though the order form for lilypad bundle asks for an address, it's still definitely a digital copy?

Yes, it’s still digital! Bigcartel asks for an address regardless. Thank you for checking in!
