Megan Quinn writes: Red Sweater is our unofficial zine collective based in DC and San Francisco. We make zines, art and handmade paper goods. Some are meant to be given as gifts, and some explore the bumbling awkwardness–and sweetness– of saying “I love you” or “I’m sorry.” We also have  posters and zines that explore the culture, movement and fluidity of dance.

Robby writes: I am a graphic designer and musician. I began screen printing punk rock t-shirts in 1982 in my high school art department. I spent years studying painting, only to realize that my paintings look like screen prints. I’ve come full circle, and now have gone back to hand-cutting rubylith and mixing ink in tupperware.

We’re honored and amazed by the Zine Machine #2 poster, designed and drawn by Pat Moriarity. Thanks, Pat!

I make black and white prints of landscapes. Sometimes I hand color them with water colors. The picture [click below] is a view overlooking the Plum Creek Valley in Southwestern Wisconsin. I have a small cabin there that I built myself and use as a nature retreat.

Devin Utah is returning to the Zine Machine with a collection of awesome stuff:
