Zine Club: Steve Michiels

Zines (as in 'magazine' or 'fanzine') are homemade booklets of texts, collages and/or illustrations. They're a playground for young literary and graphic talent and are usually self-published, using an old-fashioned Xerox machine. 

In Zine Club, illustrators, storytellers and tinkerers meet to make zines together. A special guest provides inspiration: every week, a different zine maker or collective comes in to draw along and talk about their work.

Our first guest of the season is Steve Michiels. Steve is a Belgian cartoonist, illustrator and animator. Many of his cartoons and comics are soft-colored illustrations with an emphasis on visual, surrealist comedy. His characters tend to be everyday civilians in odd and sometimes disturbing situations.

Bring your own drawing materials. Bring your friends. The main language of Zine Club is English, but everyone's welcome.
