Quarazines
Kirk Reedstrom
These are strange days, the likes of which we’ve never seen. We’ve been overwhelmed by the hot takes, the long reads and think pieces…even the best ones. While we want to stay informed and be vigilant, we also want to offer you some solidarity with a somewhat lighter touch. Artist Kirk Reedstrom’s “Quaranzines” fit the bill just right.
Readers, writers, friends: be healthy, enjoy the zines, and we’ll see you on the other side of this. As always, join us on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram for the latest.
Originally from Houston, Texas, Kirk Reedstrom spent most of his childhood drawing and reading Calvin & Hobbes.
