"My zines are filled with
colorful, cute animals and
sarcastic humor," says Foster,
a storyboard revisionist at Fox
TV. "I enjoy flipping tropes on
their heads!" She'll be sharing
one of her creations called
Heavenly Kibble Guardian
Corgi #3 at the Zinefest. "I like
creating zines because I enjoy
creating the jokes and stories I want to see in the world. Then,
it's the cherry on top when someone else connects with and
enjoys the content I made!"
FABIEN TONG
For Tong, a storyboard artist
at Titmouse, zines offer an
opportunity to tell stories
he wants to read while also
allowing him to tap into
drawing for fun instead of
work. It's also less daunting
than creating a graphic
novel— "so many pages!" He
calls one of his zines of the
"thuggish-ruggish variety." "It's cheesy action and cheesy
dialog inspired by the martial arts that I love," says Tong.
"The other idea is just a fantasy world that's inspired by
various video games that I'm addicted to."
