yoko.cool / Yoko sends a zine, Issue 2

  • A jpg export of the front and back cover. The front says: It’s another zine from meeeeeeeeee (Yoko). The back says: Consider the impact over the intent. There is a drawing of me hugging a blobby cat.
  • A jpg export of the first spread. I talk about my hair. There is a funny drawing of me and Kevin in the kitchen trying to use a kitchen scale to weigh my hair lol
  • A jpg export of the second spread. I talk about being socially tapped. There is a drawing of me lying on the ground with tears coming out of my eyes labeled: Fig. An oversaturated sponge leaks from the eyes.
  • A jpg export of the third spread. I talk about how I stopped shaving my legs, and there’s a drawing of my hairy legs wearing a new pair of New Balances I bought over the summer. Bonus fact for this black and white zine: the sneakers are tan!
Spreads from le zine

Second zine! I talk about:

  • My hair, which is very long and heavy as of this writing
  • Being a humanity sponge
  • How I stopped shaving over the pandemic

Some notes about this issue:

  1. The earrings I drew in my self portrait are by Aye Hasegawa. You can check out her latest clay jewelry at her website Studio Aye.
  2. A long time ago I took a Myers-Briggs personality test that said that my personality type was ISFJ. I hold onto this characterization pretty loosely, though I have found a lot of self-acceptance in identifying as a feelsy introvert.
  3. You likely got this zine delivered in an envelope that looks like it’s made from old paper used for packaging — that’s because it is! I spent a couple afternoons making a bunch of envelopes and it was very fun. And the tape that I used to put the envelope together is by KyariKreations on Etsy :)
