How About I Am Outside Of Your Window – A zine about creepy emo lyrics

January 9, 2026December 16, 2025StevenLeave a comment

How About I Am Outside Of Your Window takes a selection of lyrics and puts them out of context to emphases the weird, problematic and strange lyricism contained within the songs. The zine is not making fun of the songs or bands, in fact it is a funny, engaging and thought provoking celebration of emo lyrics and songs.

How About I Am Outside Of Your Window – A zine about creepy emo lyrics, embraces the DIY nature of zines to celebrate the genre of emo. It does not debate whether the bands or songs with the zine can or should be considered emo. Instead it asks questions on whether we, as fans of emo music, should take the music literally, or give some leeway to the creative talents of the musicians.

Milo Goes to Diversity and Equality Training

January 5, 2026December 16, 2025StevenLeave a comment

Milo Goes to Diversity and Equality Training takes a personal look at punk rock lyrics, attitudes and the exploitation of DIY art spaces. It is a perzine where memory and personal experiences are explored in order to look at how people take advantage of the open nature of DIY art, as a way to hide behind their ignorance and homophobia.

The zine uses illustrations, comics and text to present different ideas around DIY art and spaces. It’s not a comprehensive guide, it doesn’t present a solution and I am pretty sure lots of people will disagree with the concept and ideas within.

Milo Goes to Diversity and Equality Training comes with a massive content warning for homophobia.

You’ll enjoy this zine if you like indie comics, perzines, Descendents and queer comics.

Overshare

December 9, 2025StevenLeave a comment

Overshare is an intimate and personal story that takes an in depth look at what it is like to constantly share your feeling with strangers, loved ones and random people. It is a perzine, comic and handmade zine. It asks questions on when, and if, it is ok to share your emotions with unfamiliar people and those close to you.

The comic does not make a distinct conclusion, instead it draws the reader in and asks if they are complicit in oversharing their feelings. Self-care, solitude and mental health are considered throughout. The story is told from the perspective of the writer and artist, where a queer, autistic and working class point of view is presented.

The zine is available to buy here.

You will like Overshare if you enjoy indie comics, unique stories and personal narratives. It takes elements of Diary Comics, Perzines and Graphic Medicine to give a careful, distinctive and intimate approach to comic book storytelling in a DIY and self-published format.

Biphobic Messages sent to me on Dating Apps

You can buy the zine here

Having now spent more time than I care to admit on dating apps, I thought it was time to make a zine about my experiences. Biphobic Messages Sent to me on Dating Apps is a perzine that captures some of the ignorance I have received from an array of people that seem to be annoyed by my sexuality.

Biphobic Messages Sent to me on Dating Apps doesn’t look at the psychology or reasoning behind the messages; it gives a selection of the messages and leaves the reader to draw their own conclusions. (This excludes some notes and comments from the author.)

The zine features illustrations and is an experimental and personal comic book zine. Obviously it comes with a massive content warning for biphobia. I catalogue my experiences either different apps do my best not to get angry.

You’ll like Biphobic Messages Sent to me on Dating Apps if you enjoy indie comics, queer comics, perzines and experimental storytelling.

How to Live With Grief

June 22, 2025StevenLeave a comment

How to Live With Grief is a mini-zine in an envelope – with a few extra bits and pieces. The zine presents a method of how to live with grief. It was made during a stressful and solemn period of the artists and zine-makers life when they were trying to cope with great loss. The mini-zine does not propose a solution to grief, or a guide to going through the grieving process. It just presents how grieving can occur in many ways and how space and time can help.

The zine features words and illustrations. It is contained in an envelope to emphasise the personal and careful way the zine was put together.

You will like How to Live With Grief if you enjoy indie comics, unique stories and personal narratives. It takes elements of Diary Comics, Perzines and Graphic Medicine to give a careful, distinctive and intimate approach to comic book storytelling in a DIY and self-published format.
