Bio

Hi I'm April and I'm a cartoonist, photographer, and risograph printer living in Queens. I make zines because I'm a contrarian little stinker and like to do what I want. Ok, but really: zines are immediate, personal, tactile, and democratic. Zines make it possible for me to make work that is completely of myself and share it quickly with other people. Zines allow me to both serious and silly, with drawings and photos, poetry and prose. And you know, I also like making pretty little books of pretty shapes and colors.

Zines
