We’re tackling all the myth, legend, the magic of pickle juice in the zineternet today! Here’s a story from the 2022 Grizzly Ultra in Canmore, AB. Note: Don’t believe everything you read in zines.

10 Rules
Corita Kent’s 10 Rules, as seen in this feature by The Great Discontent caught my attention and curiosity lately. Rules with a certain cheekiness and lightheartedness, collected by a devoted nun?

The Old Volvo
Keen observers will notice it’s the “Year of the Zine” over here at the Manke Workshop. I’m having fun exploring the new space of combining words and pictures in a bite-size format.

Some methods of moving through the world occur only in this season, only when the conditions are right. Some for essential transportation, others for the pure joy…

The Blank Slate
It’s January 1. Happy new year. This morning I skied in the Sandilands with friends. Beneath the low gray sky, the world was white. Thick snow from a couple weeks back still caked to tree branches and needles and a thick layer of hoar frost made for a beautiful scene to take in as we…
