A ‘zine is a micro-publication (a mini-magazine) that produces small tingles of joy, typically much more flavorful than that of a large-scale publisher & is independently produced. These artisanal publications are characterized by their emphasis on uniqueness, flavor & brewing technique. 100% hand drawn with a Pilot V5 Hi-Techpoint 0.5 black ink pen on recycled paper. Everyday Expeditions are my very personal everyday journeys in finding and following my deep velvet yes* (*see also: deep velvet no) as a USAmerican immigrant recovering from cPTSD in Switzerland since 1996. Just trying to find my people, place, & the meaning of life without losing myself & without being a jerk.
