Why read it?
1 author picked Year of Zines as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
What I love about Mirk’s book is the physically productive response to anxiety, the unselfconscious approach to creating physical art and words, and how the physical creation is so personal yet so universal. The dedication of creating a zine a day is monkish in its attention and yet also achievable in a way that is inspiring. Make art for your own sake, because it’s good for you even if it’s not “good”. Use it to get to know and love yourself better.
From Megan's list on The best books for when life throws you a curveball.
