WOOOO, Grand Rapids Zine Fest yesterday was a blast! Thanks to everyone who stopped by! ❤️‍🔥 Saw many familiar sweet faces and met many new ones :3 and thanks to @smallsmallwitch and @chickswayzine for being rad and hilarious table neighbors, be sure to check out their work! Someone researching zines went around interviewing folks and asked me how I would describe the zine community (Inclusive! Welcoming!) and what motivates me to make zines? I just love how it’s so accessible, a pure form of self-expression or information spreading and sharing of all our different passions and stories together :,)

Someday I hope I can travel and do more fests around the country but I am so grateful to have this local event to look forward to each summer

my random af new zine about ribbon bows and its history! 🎀 16pg printed on @frenchpaperco speckletone madero, with ribbon binding and decorative bow on cover. I sold out at the fest but can make more if anyone is interested, just lmk (and also lmk your fave color cause I can customize your bow hehe)

new stickers!!! :0) now that I finally got the hang of diy stickers to an acceptable degree, I can’t wait to try more designs that swim around in my brain

i promise next ones won’t be digimon themed lol

My @grzinefest haul - mostly traded, which I’m really thankful for!

okay this isn’t from zine fest but I didn’t have a chance to share my zine haul from my recent san francisco trip, so I’m sharing these beauties here now 😍

post-zine fest celebratory dinner 💕Now I can finally rest / begin to tackle the giant mess I made while prepping lol

Spring by @justdashuang
Zine, art book, risograph

This riso artbook features six risograph prints inspired by everyday life and the ways it is shaped by politics. It captures spring as both a season and a state of being, reflecting how life quietly shifts under the weight of personal and political change.

Had an unbelievable time in China. The food, culture, and people were amazing. Hard to narrow down even 20 photos. 2 weeks flew by with @justdashuang and can’t wait for more places we’ll go in 2026!

This May I stood in front of my committee, defending my Master’s thesis at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago @saicpics 🌿

Only now I truly start to see how those experiences are taking root in me — how deeply they’ve shaped the way I see art, education, and life itself.

It wasn’t just the program in Art Education @saic.arted that transformed me, but also the people I studied with and the professors who guided us with so much wisdom and care.

I look back on that day with so much warmth and gratitude. ✨

Просто оставлю эти кадры здесь как напоминание о очень важном пройденном этапе. Хочу, чтобы у всех защиты дипломных работ проходили в такой атмосфере: среди друзей и близких, когда всё организовано самой группой студентов и отвечает вашему видению, а день проходит с теплотой, заботой и благодарностью.

P.S. горжусь нашей семьей, потому что это образование свершилось усилиями нас ТРОИХ, не знаю как бы без поддержки мужа и мотивации малышом закончила эту большую работу!
