belated posthumous happy 80th to my birth dad. my cousin voice-to-texted the typo “happy idiot” on the occasion which he would have found funny. ❤️#adoption

issue 8 cover idea was taking forever and looked bad. also the logo kerning was nagging at me. less is more?  #art #1bit #blackandwhite #pixelart #ドット絵 #oc #픽셀아트 #lowres #dessin #ditherpunk #doodle #icon #monochrome #zine #perzine #1bitart #digitalart #illustration #dotchke #craphound #fanzine

a screenshot of the free image software GIMP showing a mockup of the cover of Dotchke #8. a yin yang symbol has been rotated and cropped with tiny reverse-colored pixel icon images in the ‘tails’ of the two main shapes. an 8ball forms the black dot on the white side and a dodecahedron forms the white dot on the black side.

a screenshot of the free image software GIMP showing a mockup of the cover of Dotchke #8. a yin yang symbol has been rotated and cropped with pixel dithering fading back to middle gray down the ‘tails’ of the two main shapes. an 8ball forms the black dot on the white side and a dodecahedron forms the white dot on the black side. the logotype feels bolder and more solid.

i was trying to mimic the Crap Hound clip art aesthetic with the first two covers, but have shifted on that idea.

a screenshot of the layout of the cover of Dotchke #5 a black and white pixel doodle zine. a large snail crawls along with three amphorae behind it. a body of water or the night sky is beyond. very small in the corner are two bread tags and a work boot. it’s a little more cohesive than it sounds, i promise.

i forgot this distinction, thanks for reminding me. fans’ zines about a punk band or a local scene was how i first came to understand the term fanzine.
