Here In Ladyworld Zine is the follow-up to 2017’s Guardians of the Zine. This fan-publication, collectively called TWRPZine, is a collection of art, photography, and writing that celebrates the band TWRP and the one-year anniversary of there EP, Ladyworld.
My role in this project was multifaceted. Not only was I a contributing artist, but I designed the layout and cover of the Zine, communicated with contributing artists, and coordinated production of the zine with local and remote printers.
Sales of Here in Ladyworld Zine were donated to Music Heals, a Canadian charitable foundation that supports music therapy programs throughout Canada. We were able to donate over $1000 USD (over $1300 CAD).
