What We Need
All funding provided through this campaign will go towards the creation and distribution of Comfort Food Zine. Costs include ordering proofs, printing, and shipping zines to artists and backers. All contributing artists will receive a copy of the zine, but my goal is to supply the artists with multiple copies of Comfort Food Zine for them to sell or give away as they wish! The more funding we receive, the more copies I will be able to provide contributing artists!
