Welcome to the virtual festival! Below is a randomly ordered grid of online stores from zinesters and creators of small art. Submitted by the members of the Zine Crisis discord in the #virtual-festival channel. Browse through to find your next favorite indie treasure!

Warning: Many of these stores sell transgressive and mature content, so check warnings on store pages if you are sensitive to such materials. We try to add [18+ thumbnails] if their site has adult-only thumbnails, but we may miss some and a lack of the [18+ thumbnails] label it doesn’t indicate a store with non-adults-only art
