The Whole Shebang | Howl & Hold Issue #1, Sticker Pack, Temporary Tattoo
Part lit mag, part flea market, part coping tool box, this zine is a patchwork altar to all the ways we keep going.
This isn’t your grandma’s grief manual (unless your grandma was a punk witch with a tarot deck and a trauma degree). Howl + Hold is a tender, gritty little zine made for the ones learning to live with loss while still showing up to brunch, group texts, and the unbearable miracle of being alive.
Inside: collage, paintings, photographs, mini rituals, prompts, poetry, prose, and weird little wisdoms to help you hold your grief without letting it eat you alive. Cry on it, write in it, throw it across the room—it can take it.
32 pages
Full color design
35 artists and authors included
100 lb paper
Locally printed by Fireball Printing
Saddle-stitch binding
This grouping includes: one hard copy zine, five stickers designed by yours truly, and one temporary tattoo of the “Every Tattoo is Temporary” design. All stickers are 4” round and made of durable vinyl.
About pricing:
Each H&H zine costs just over $4 to print. I spent about 24 hours designing this issue and another 8-10 hours on marketing and gathering submissions. That doesn’t include the hours and effort each contributor poured into feeling their feelings and creating their work. I say all of this to be transparent and to illustrate that this isn’t a get-rich-quick situation—it’s a labor of love. And I hope you love it.
About shipping:
All items will be shipped weekly on Fridays via USPS. Depending on when you order, there may be up to a week before your item is shipped. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but it’s how I make the hustle sustainable. Rush orders are not a thing. Grief is slow and I invite you to join its pace.
