A strong Europe is a hold on Russian aggression. Now you know why Trump and Vance talk sh*t about the EU: they work for Putin.

I made this zine to process my feelings around a really negative set of experiences I had with someone.

Feel free to copy, distribute, share, remix, etc. as you’d like.

The Ko-Fi link is pay what you want, so you can download a printable pdf or png for free.

I ruminate with my feelings if I don’t talk about them, journal, or externally process in some way. This zine is the culmination of talking, journaling, and doomscrolling through those big feelings.

Releasing this zine into the world is a sort of exorcism to facilitate moving forward from the harm.

I’m not open to the questions about what happened or with whom.

Check out my socials for more zines and a bunch of item cards that are nothing at all like this.

BLACK SPRING WEEKLY — Issue 50: The Veil Parts at the First Turning

Issue 50 of Black Spring Weekly marks a quiet return and a slight reset, a recalibration, and the beginning of something new. After a short pause, this issue steps back into the studio with fresh intent, exploring the idea of the artist not just as a creator, but as something closer to a practitioner… a conjurer of form, symbol, and meaning.

This week drifts between sketchbook fragments, half-formed ideas, and the slow rebuilding of creative discipline. There’s a renewed focus on drawing and sketching, which is the foundations of practice, alongside the pressure of unfinished paintings waiting to be resolved. It’s messy, honest, and very real.

Threaded throughout is the influence of W. B. Yeats my all time faveourite poet, mystic, and magician, who helps the setting the tone for April’s deeper dive into art as ritual. The studio becomes more than a workspace; it becomes a threshold. Preparation, repetition, and intention begin to mirror something older, something almost ceremonial.

Elsewhere, the journal captures the everyday: growing cress, small wins in sketching, weight loss struggles, strange internet rabbit holes, and moments of unexpected beauty, like a sudden rainbow cutting through the noise. It’s a reminder that creativity doesn’t exist in isolation; it’s woven into everything.

The Fascination section leans fully into this idea, exploring the artist’s space as a ritual environment, where tools, process, and repetition take on symbolic weight. Paired with a dark, atmospheric playlist and a deep dive into The Inmost Light by Current 93, the issue builds a mood that’s introspective, strange, and quietly powerful. Black Spring Weekly remains a free, ongoing artist journal, part diary, part sketchbook, part ritual. Step back in. Start again.
