A few backgrounds I painted for our zine Drive. about the anxieties that come with facing new things. It was made in 50 hours in a zine jam and you can read it on their website:

Next collab: Zineton 2022
Zineton is a zine challenge in which you can participate regardless of your location in Finland or abroad. The weekend-long event takes place every autumn. Basically you have 48 hours to create a zine from scratch! The hosts give you a theme and mandatory elements, so you have to make something entirely new.
More info about Zineton:
We participated Zineton in 2022 with teamname "Mie & Sie" ("me and you" in our local dialect).
Our theme was "Delicate delivery" and the mandatory elements were "wellness tip" and "mask". There were five themes and the mandatory elements were the same for everyone.
just look at E's talent!!! insane skills
Our zine is called "Rakastan, kyllä rakastan" (lit. "I love, I truly love"). It is a Finnish version of "she loves me, she loves me not". Unfortunately, we haven't translated the zine in English, so I will give you a summary:
The story of the zine is about the importance of confessing your feelings. The boy wrote a love letter to a girl, before she leaves to the army. He told in his letter, he cannot keep up the act and wear the mask anymore. They have been best friends since preschool, but when he looks her, he freezes, his brain malfunctions, his legs turns into spaghetti.
"An anxious person is advised to breathe, but how does that help when you take my breath away?"
He has asked from daisies that does she feel the same, and now he asks from her: do you?
We absolutely A D O R E this 8-page long zine! The plot, the characters, the layout/graphics, the art??? speechless.
E handled the graphics and layouts and I did the art. We built the story together.
And honestly?
Page 6????
THAT SMILE????????????
We must protect her by all costs!!!
Every zine got its own honorable mention, and here is ours:
"A warm and really touching work about feelings and their importance."
You can read our zine (and other ones as well!) from here:
