2 zines that I can’t put back on the shelf

I’ve been collecting various zines since my friend Will showed me “Drawings in bars” when I was a teen. This past year two that I can’t seem to get enough of are a photo zine by Ivan Hitch and a zine of drawings by Willow Gallagher.

Ivan Hitch showcases his perspective as an adventurous young documentarian of Philadelphia. Friends, tags, landscapes and some archival graffiti photos make up this zine. Many names to look forward to like spy one, nemel, orb, hazel, item, IAO, SOS to name a few.

Keep an eye out.

Free the world 2k25 by Willow Gallagher is a visual packed full of machines, people, creatures, plants, daily horrors and so much more. I enjoy these kinds of detailed maximalist draws. Pockets of jagged lettering announce political ideas, daily struggles and systemic horrors.

My favourite page illustrates the pollution of our atmosphere by satellites.

I look forward to seeing more.
