Hi! I’m Erin
I am an illustrator and writer based in LA County. I started making zines as a way to stay creative after my post art school burn out. I love making zines about things I like, like new tv shows or hobbies, as well as personal experiences. Themes common in my work include personal anecdotes, mental health, original stories, fantasy, sci-fi and LGBTQIA+ topics. I completely illustrate all of my zines.
I credit zines and the zine making community with helping me find my creative voice again. It’s an amazing art form that is inclusive and accessible to everyone. Thanks for checking out my work!
