New zine + giveaway!

The new Maps & Fragments photo zine is here! It’s beautifully printed, featuring color photos I took in Seoul, Busan, Beijing, Yunnan, and places in between.

THE GIVEAWAY

The giveaway includes my brand new mini photo zine, an 80-page hand-painted + hand-stamped idea notebook, various postcard prints of my photos, tiny postcard stickers in a hand-made envelope, and carefully selected paper goodies (a card + envelope byjoesther, a postcard by Millo, vintage label stickers in two colors, triangle sticky notes in tangerine and violet, an egg-shaped bookmark, etc.)

Everything goes to one lucky randomly chosen winner.

And you only have to do two things:
1) Be a Maps & Fragments follower. It can be on Google readerTwitterBloglovin’, etc.
2) Leave a comment with a way for me to contact you.

The randomly-chosen winner of this giveaway is Lisa! Thank you all for participating.

ZINE INFO

The pocket-sized photo zine was printed on custom-cut paper. In case you are as paper-nerdy as I am: the cover is a heavy 250 gsm matte paper and the insides are thick 157 gsm uncoated matte paper.


Every copy has been signed and numbered!


Each zine will be shipped with a complimentary polaroid postcard in a carefully wrapped package.

And as a little bonus, the first 15 zine orders will come with a handmade envelope full of polaroid stickers!

$10 + worldwide shipping (takes around 7 days). SOLD OUT.

    Your new zine looks really nice! Have you made a lot of zines before? I’ve always thought of making one, but I wouldn’t know where to being. You’re really talented. Anyway, count me in your great giveaway! Of course, I follow your RSS Feed, as well as your Twitter account.
