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

The latest updates from our virtual festival tablers!

Finished putting out the rest of my press’ spring lineup: **in the graine: migraine, ableism, care**, by reed floarea, offers a disability-justice-oriented approach to migraine that weaves together both the practical and the political. The zine is about mitigating both mitigating symptoms, and re-orientating your relationship to life, work, and self-worth. print (large-print on grey paper for reduced contrast): https://sheerspite.ca/product/in-the-graine-migraine-ableism-care-by-reed-floarea-print/ digital (several different colour combinations selected for migraine-friendliness): https://sheerspite.ca/product/in-the-graine-migraine-ableism-care-by-reed-floarea-digital/ **Nine Zines on Grief,** by Imogen Reid, is a collection of nine beautiful, deeply felt mini-zines on grief. The zines explore her history with loss, from losing her mother as a teenager to losing friends to overdose and suicide as an adult. They both tell and show how grief feels from the inside: vivid, harsh, and consuming. Combining writing with illustration and collage, these zines evoke the work of artists like David Wojnarowicz who mobilize grief as a political tool, while never losing sight of how it feels on a deeply personal level. print (bundle of 9 riso-printed mini-zines): https://sheerspite.ca/product/nine-zines-on-grief-imogen-reid-riso-printed-zine-pack/ digital (versions set up for print and for reading on screen): https://sheerspite.ca/product/nine-zines-on-grief-imogen-reid-digital/
