Prickly Pear Zine Collective

PRICKLY PEAR ZINE COLLECTIVE is a collection of artists and writers officially formed in the fall of 2021. We began as a group of classmates at Arizona State University in a class on art zines, and as we neared the end of our semester, we decided to form this group in order to continue inspiring and supporting each other as we decided to also continue our creation of zines.

Given the diversity of our group, our zines span a wide variety of topics and titles such as Atticus or Tornado Body are more narrative or poetry based. In contrast, zines such as Teeth, Derivative, and Pronoun Practice are better labeled as informational.

Most of our works tend to put more focus into illustration and composition, using words to further the messages told in the images. This is especially the case for zines such as In the Dark, where the letters are the illustrations.
