For all of you who haven't heard about Miss♥information yet: that's the name of the zine I made for the 24 Hour Zine Thing 2010. Black and white copies of it are available at my etsy shop.
For all of you who do already know it - and (hopefully) like it - I've got good news! I finally managed what I wanted to do for so long: make it available online - in full color! Enjoy!
Miss*information
In case you like it so much that you want to ban it onto paper and flick through it as a real life zine, you can download a high resolution print version here (it already has the pages arranged in a way so that you only have to print it double-sided and fold it in half).

The Sketchbook Project 2011
Anybody (not) heard of The Sketchbook Project?
Well, I'm participating too! Just couldn't resist. The thought of the book going on tour like a little rockstar, other people (people who don't even know me!) flicking through it... It's gonna be in a library! A real library!
And it were exactly these same thoughts that suddenly turned into fears when I found my sketchbook in the mailbox and it was time to actually draw in it. OMG! Other people are gonna see this! Scary!
So, I wimped out and left the first page empty... for now.
I'm quite happy with the second spread though. Trying to forget that it's not really my own secret sketchbook and just having fun with colored pencil (definitely one of my 784 favorite media!). Because that's what my assigned theme is supposed to be, anyway:
It's just a pity that the pages are really crappy paper. Absolutely see-through crappy. Thus, I didn't draw on the backside of the first spread. Still need to figure out what to do with the in-between pages since I don't really want to leave them blank. Maybe glue in stuff. Any other participants reading this here? Did everybody else rebind their sketchbooks?
(I'm aware of the fact that the rules permit people to rebind the book with whatever paper they like, but I don't know how to do that and I probably would be too lazy to do it even if I knew.)
Oh, by the way, b/w copies of my 24 hour zine Miss♥information are available now here in my etsy shop, in case anybody's interested!
The original is in full color and it broke my heart to find out that color copies would make it way too expensive for a zine. Therefore, I plan to make the color version available as a pdf or something. I just need to figure out how...

It will be fun, I swear.

Nondominant 24h zine
I like this one which is quite ironic because:
a) due to a very distinct tendency towards perfectionism and self-criticism, I hardly ever like what I draw and
b) I did this with my (very very nondominant) left hand with which I can't even write halfway legible.
I drew these two after my rather long "artistic break". I thought it would be easier to start with something drawn with my left hand to take the pressure off and overcome that fear of "Oh no, I need to produce something good!".
(It worked!)
Also, I completed my 24 hour zine! (Very typically, in the night of 31st of July... Why must I even procrastinate the things that I actually enjoy doing?!)
It will be available in my etsy shop soon. In the meantime, a sneak preview of the cover (plus the back side).
Of course, I'm always happy to swap my zines, if anyone is interested! (Just mail/message me or leave a comment!)
