Bio

Hi, I’m Astrid and I’m a 24 year old Swedish girl living in Switzerland. I make zines focusing on my own experiences related to being lgbt and autistic. I started making zines about 2 years ago and initially saw it as a less expensive way to make printed booklets of my photography. For the past year I’ve gotten into comics and in January I released my first medium length comic zine “Unidaze: the beginning”. For me as for many other people making zines are a way for me to creatively express myself and the things I want to share.
