My typewriters have all been in the shed since we moved house a few years ago, but I decided to get them out and get them into use. I’ve actually never used this one before — a >100yo Corona 3. Needs a new ribbon but otherwise in perfect working order! A glorious machine.

Kachi-Koshi

Haphazard 05

I like to watch sumo wrestling. It's a lot of fun! This zine is a crash course in sumo in case you would like to give it a go… and I think it's interesting even if you're not going to become a committed fan.

Onion Songs

Haphazard 04

A list of songs that reliably make me cry, with snippets of lyrics.

There's a spotify playlist too

Highlights

Haphazard 03

Reading ebooks is so much easier because I can always pick up my book during down time (on the train, in a queue, at lunchtime). So now I read more books again! I highlight passages that I think capture an important idea. Here are some of those passages.

manga panels that i saved because i relate to them

Haphazard 02

I mostly read digital manga and sometimes I get the urge to screenshot and save a particular panel because it resonates with me. The weird thing is that these panels are usually very, very mundane.

Japanese Stairs

Haphazard 01

When I visited Japan, I noticed that there are a lot of stairs around. Where we would put stairs on the inside of a building, they put the stairs on the outside. I couldn't stop noticing stairs and photographing them.

The Preface

Haphazard 00

Here I explain a bit about my history with zines, and how I ended up committing to a weekly zine project.

I am bad at social media BUT we are six weeks into 2025 and I have made six zines and tabled at a zine fair (the Festival of the Photocopier)
