David Velasco

Waukegan, Illinois, United States

Zinester from Waukegan, IL working predominantly in found photo, collage, drawing, and writing in Spanish and English. My main body of work features introspective writing on grief, chosen family, shared narratives, and childhood intertwined with found photos collaged digitally. Other works feature my own photos, drawings, traditional collage, and freeform writing in various combinations. I aim to work with upcycled or secondhand materials throughout my zinemaking process anywhere from the source imagery to the final printed media.

Ems

Dresden, Saxony, Germany

Ich bin Ems (keine Pronomen) und bin seit ca. 2 bis 3 Jahren aktiv in der Zine-Szene unterwegs. Ich gestalte und sammle Zines, habe schon mit einer Zine-Freundschaft einen Workshop zusammen geleitet und den Zineclub Dresden gegründet und die Zine-Ausstellung “From A to Zine” organisiert. In meinem Etsy-Shop (https://forbiddenscientist.etsy.com) verkaufe ich ein paar meiner Zines, aber ich bin auch immer offen für Zine-Tausche. Schreibe mich dafür gerne auf Instagram (@forbiddenscientist) an. Für sonstige coole Zine-Projekte und Events bin ich (vorausgesetzt ich habe Zeit) immer zu haben. Ich würde sagen, dass meine Zines sehr vielseitig sind, wobei sich einige Themen, wie Queerness, Feminismus und Waschbären wiederholen. Meine Zines sind eine Art Tagebuch darüber, was mich zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt am meisten beschäftigt, geprägt oder angeregt hat. Und ich hoffe sehr, dass ich damit auch anderen entweder eine Freude machen oder zeigen kann, dass sie nicht alleine sind.

Snail mail and journaling are two of my favorite things, zines may become a third. Currently enjoying the hunt for zines, reading people's thoughts, and figuring out how the zines themselves were made. Open to any workshops and festivals!
