Hello Hello!!

This month’s theme is a bit different from what we’re used to! Looking back at all our past issues was a fun way to explore all the various submissions we’ve received in the past. In this mini-issue, I had the pleasure to create the cover art to “spotlight” our wonderful contributor’s work (a special thanks to Crystal for coming up with this wonderful title)

I wanted to create a cover that gave off a warm and cozy feeling with cute animal characters that are in the midst of creating a zine issue. I made it so that the characters are showing the different stages of creating a zine - from coming up with themes (cat) to creating marketing posts for submissions (red panda) and contributors creating their pieces (bunny). I hope everyone likes this cover as much as I enjoyed drawing it!!

Lastly, a farewell to our wonderful former editor-in-chief, Crystal Chambers, for everything. It was really fun working alongside you these past terms. You will deﬁnitely be missed and best wishes in your spring studies

‘Till next time,

Jessie Jiang Co-Editor-In-Chief
