Growing Up
in Forest

I spent my formative years in my hometown of Forest, Virginia. I created this zine to encapsulate my earliest memories from this small town.

Storytelling

“I grew up in a small town called Forest. We lived in a little house with a big yard. I remember when we painted it green.”

Original Project

Fun Fact: When I originally created this zine, the whole project was done by hand on brown paper. I created multiple of the same zines without using a copier, meaning I drew out each of these pages myself each time. I wanted to update the typography, so it exists as a printed version now, but that shows my commitment to giving this zine a personal, nostalgic, feel.
