This tiny thing I made went all over the world!

Not exactly viral, but it's in the hands of artists across the globe!

Yesterday I received an email from an artist in Turkey who’d finally sat down to look through all the stuff he brought home from his trip to Italy….and my little zine was among them.

This short little update was made for my OG channel (the old one with a lot of zombie followers!)….I post periodically there just to make sure if folks haven’t realized I’ve added new YouTube channels, they’ll have reason to find ‘em….

It was exciting to realize how far my little limericks traveled when that email arrived; it makes the hours of folding and trimming paper worth all that time it took to make almost 100 of them. And when I met someone in a workshop, demo, or sketching out in the streets of Bologna, Fabriano, and Rome, I got a kick out of handing them one of my little packets. They had a business card and this little book in a plastic sleeve, to be sure it “felt” important enough to keep. Most of the time everyone tucked it in their backpack without looking at it - I was really glad I included my email on the zine as well, since I know how many of the little treasures I received that lost any connection to their sender.

If you’d like to print up a little printable zine for yourself - or a dozen of them to fold up and take to your next art club or class gathering - grab it here:

The pdf includes instructions on folding it up - and a cover page that’s slightly bigger so you can accomodate whatever paper thickness you print on (just trim down any excess.)
