What Z Creates @what-z-creates - Tumblr Blog

Welcome to my new blog for my art/poetry! I've been on Instagram for a while (I'm @what_z_creates over there), but I figured it'd be fun to bring some stuff over to Tumblr as well. I do a variety of stuff, including sketches and doodles, digital art, more abstract stuff, watercolors, pastels, and zines. Some of my first posts will be uploads of my older art.

I also figured this could be a fun place to talk about my OCs, so we'll see if that happens. :)

I wish / against the sky (December 2025) - Digital collage, made for the Aspec Quilt Project (@aspec-quilt-project).

My submission statement: "In this square I wanted to invoke the complexities of my aspec identity - both joy and yearning, looking to both the future and the past, and working within our current societal structure while also reaching towards something different."

Say That: A Lyric Zine (November 2025)

My first lyric zine, which I passed out some copies of at the December 2 concert. Hoping I can do it again for the next (?) tour!

I’d love to share (probably via email?) the zine pdf with any folks who would like to print out their own/share copies. :)

A sneak peak of my most recent project.

I am planning to bring free copies of this minizine to the Autoheart concert on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, in Somerville/Boston, MA.

Please let me know in reblogs/comments if you are going to the concert and would be interested in a copy, so I can figure out how many to bring. I’d also love to trade zines with anyone at the concert!

Embr-ACE-ing Difference: A [brief] introduction to asexuality (October 2025)

Happy Ace Week! This was tough to put together - there's so much to talk about and nuances/intersections to get into, and a minizine only has so much space.
