We have always loved a zine and have some great books 📚 all about them. Now with enormous thanks to HCA Illustration Alumni we have been able to make our own Z i n e L i b r a r y ⭐ at CRC Campus Library. Mel has donated her own wonderful Zine collection to us which has enabled us to expand ours to create this.
Thank you so much Mel we’re so very grateful and you can come and visit it anytime.
We are currently having a short break from Lunchtime drawing ✍️ but will be back after the Easter Break for more sessions starting with a dedicated Zine session.

📕 You can research your next projects, have a change of scenery, take some time out (we have blankets) and we can also help you with any last minute referencing queries.

Meet Revel the Rebel! We let Alicia off her nibbled book when we found out who had done it. The cuteness to damage ratio definitely fell in favour of the kitten and we are partial to a lovely pet. .koi.art
