When art block hits it is hard to focus on your creative work. It can leave you unmotivated, stressed or frustrated. Often we keep our creative worries to ourselves hoping they will just magically disappear. Getting rid of a block can be tricky, especially when you don’t have someone or something helping you out. This survival zine is meant to free you from your worries for a little while, give you some tips and hopefully offer some solutions to your problems. So, enjoy the ride, maybe by the end of it you’ll find yourself wanting to create some new art.

Because I had been struggling with art block in my final year of college I decided to make an art block survival zine for my graduation project. The zine is filled with tips & tricks, stories, interviews, cartoons and challenges, to help creative people who struggle with art block. I made this zine with different kinds of paper and printing techniques (such as RISO and linocut) to create a tactile experience.
