This is the first zine that I have scanned and digitised, I have entered it into the Batsford Prize 2022. I used a combination of marker pens and oil pastels then scanned it and edited it on photoshop.
This zine is about how grateful I am to be surrounded by people like me, whether they are queer or we are connected in another way, I feel such immense pride to be able to share their stories and know I deserve to be here.
