Did the music change, or us..?

zines 
There is quite few new songs which I’ve heard lately.
Funny thing about those songs is that I’ve heard them before many years ago.

There is weird trend going on in music industry at the moment.
Many hit songs are ripped together with the old songs. (Awkward)
Feels like song makers has lost their mojo and inspiration.

Might be and probably is truth that I’m wrong, but think about it.

There was a time when these songs were hits, why would them work in modern world?
Sure, music today has to keep youths only interest approximately 30 seconds and that’s it.
Maybe this has the big influence in music.

Next zine tells the story of the “how-to” make hitlist song and enjoy at the progress..
Number 1.

Decade of decisions

Number 2.

Find the mixtape…

Number 3.

Be active!

Number 4.

Find your audience… or get lost in the process…

Number 5.

“GET WEALTHY!!!”

Number 6.

Ending…

That’s my thoughts about this trending style of making music, come on people. It’s okay to do it once in a while, but every artist doing it all the time just for trend..?! 

This could be just me being that old fart, but I am on to something, I must be…

There might be something groundbreaking in this scrapbooking, small comics.

If you have never try it, I highly recommend to do it.

It’s so easy to understand the beauty of minimalist work.

There is so little space between those pages.

You’ll have to think before, adding the story.
Folding the book.
In that video you can see how satisfying is this folding activity.

In a blink, paper turns to a small book.

Some people say to us Zine artists, that waste of time.
For my opinion, any art is NO WASTE OF TIME.

You just have to believe in what you’re doing, sure I know there is almost zero change to get super famous or rich.

I tend to say, it’s not about the money… sure it helps, but when you can influence even one person with your doing, it’s worthy.

Just make people feel happy and yourself in the process, that must be something right?

Let’s get on the pages.
Pages 1 & 2
This time the idea was to make a scary and bloody version of the Casper, but somehow it turned to this cute little bastard.
Pages 3 & 4
The ghost and it’s friends…

Which are better friends than spiders and bats?

Original bloodier version had the Vampire biting veins, this is close enough.

Spider was so much more wicked and blood thirsty than this final version.

Sometimes these dark minded stories takes a flip inside my head and turn in the children stories.

Although I have read many fairytale and trust me on this, if you take those happy endings away, you got pretty horrible stories.

To the next pages!
Pages 5 & 6
This was originally the day of the death quote.

The Day of the Dead (el Día de los Muertos), is a Mexican holiday where families welcome back the souls of their deceased relatives for a brief reunion that includes food, drink and celebration. 

You’ll get the point with Pedro and candies.
The end..?
Everything must end, even Halloween.

Currently we live in the world where Jamie Lee Curtis finally got Michael dead and that was Oscar worthy stuff!

Zine making is so much fun, if you don’t believe me, try it yourself and create something unique.

There is plenty of room in the void!

Yours. Jay
