For those who haven’t seen me talk about this yet I have cool news! (As if you couldn’t already tell from the title lol) I joined a fan charity zine based around the Iron Lung movie!!! All proceeds from the zine will go towards the NHSBT foundation which assists with blood drives/blood donations in the UK!!! For those unaware of what a "zine" is: a zine is a self-published, non-profit book made by fans of a specific pop culture franchise. Fans contribute original artworks or fiction with the proceeds from sales donated to the designated organization. The rest goes towards the production of the physical copy of the "magazine" which will be shipped to the artists and people who buy the zine! It’s my first very experience with doing anything like this but it’s been so rewarding so far and the mods have been so nice to me with my 3 billion questions haha. I can’t wait to see (and hold) everyone else’s work in my hands - including my own of course - when the book gets delivered this coming January! :D Side note this piece is also inspired by one of my older iron lung pieces I shared way back in march this year. I shared it along with the poem titled “a heartbeat wrapped in iron” on here you may remember. I wanted to try and redraw it with a different approach although the poem remains the same and will also be included in the zine as well. Finally, yes- you are the first people to see the art for the zine. I’m goin to make a proper post probably tomorrow on my IG and other socials heh. :]]]
