Esther and Mark are such treasures. I love that you have such an amazing zine library. I’m always thankful for folks like you that take on archival tasks like that while also personally contributing to the culture with your own work. Definitely love to see more of examples from the library.

Whatcha Mean What’s a Zine was my intro to zines! My uncle is friends with Mark and Esther and gave me the book when it came out when I was 16. It changed my whole world. I also took one of your classes at IPRC in 2014 when I was briefly living in Portland. We all made zines about snacks and I still have every single copy in my zine library. Now I have my own career built on zines, teaching workshops, and organizing zine fests in Southern California! Lili Todd has tabled at a couple of them. I haven’t been to Portland since 2016 but I look forward to checking out Outlet the next time I’m in town. :)

i took your zine-making class on skillshare a few years ago. it was so fun and still have that zine! i see one-page zines virtually everywhere these days, but i first heard of this technique from you. when i visit portland, i will make it a point to visit outlet. it would be awesome to attend one of your live workshops. ❤️

Ordered! Been wanting an Outlet PDX item for so long—ty for the call to arms, KBB! ❤️ I’m an elementary art teacher who’s losing an art room and moving to a cart—zines might be on our curriculum now!
