I love it when my artist buddies, or artists I've never met, send me their little 'zines. They're cheap, silly, easy, quick, and fun to send and receive. I especially love 'zines made from a single piece of plain old paper - including the ones with a slit in the middle for folding. Nothing profound here, just a little exhortation to sit and doodle, hit the copy machine, and grab some stamps.

This is what networking is all about. Give 'em something to hold onto and keep. People love the tactile quality of being able to flip through images as opposed to just viewing pixels on-screen. Got some great zines I'll be sending out soon too! Neelon is dead-on with this trendy idea.
I'm mailing out one next week, email me your address if you want one! scootsullivan@gmail.com

This is a great idea. Your examples are really cool.
Caleb, how does the one with the slit in the middle work? Why a slit? Are these self mailers or do they use envelopes? Thanks. Great post. Jim
