These are some pages from the fifth issue of my zine Lost, published circa 2001. It was distributed at opening of my thesis exhibition back at school.

It's been long out of print, but here are a couple of ways to check out the entire issue:

• You can save some trees and view the whole issue online here.

• Or make your own bootleg copy by downloading the large print-ready PDF here.
(Print pages in order, back-to-back. When done, staple down the middle and fold in half. Or fold in half and staple down the middle.)

The second issue of RareForm is out, brought to you by HozaeOne and TenGramz. This issue continues where the first left off, bringing you more grime from the real streets of L.A. Packed with flicks of stuff by a multitude of writers and featuring interviews with Seroe, Skoler, and Table, this issue is a must-have. Limited to 30 signed and numbered copies, get one while the getting is good.

Another sick zine from the homie M.B. called Episodes. This one has a cinematic feel to it, like a film with a bit of a melancholic soundtrack (but that may be the cofee in my head talking.) Try wayout[dot]mb[at]gmail[dot]com and you might make contact.

Dsrup K4P has been rockin' dope zines for a hot minute. His latest showcases more of his signature black and white graphics, letterforms, and iconography. If you manage to see a copy somewhere, grab that ish! Or drop him a line to see what up.

You can check out more of his projects here.

These are some spreads from a fresh art zine called Way Out by the homie M.B. that I recently got in the mail. No website (that I know of) but you can reach out old-school and holler at wayout[dot]mb[at]gmail[dot]com for more info.

These are some preview pages from Tempt's upcoming zine for the Eyewriter Kickstarter project. The fundraising goal was met, but donations will be accepted for thirteen more days. Peep it, you get all kinds of cool stuff if you pitch in.

(The zine is the premiere issue of a classified project called Nowhere. Stay tuned!)

This is a limited-edition zine Patrick Martinez and I put together for our New Works exhibit at Tradition way back in 2009. The zines went really fast at the exhibit, but now you can download the PDF and make your own copy in case you missed it (or didn't get one.) Fancy paper not included.

The homies over at The Uprising L.A. / TenGramz just put out the first issue of their zine RareForm. It features flicks of graffiti, skating, slaptags, drawings, and much more from the streets of L.A. The covers are all hand-silkscreened and numbered in a limited edition of 30. Each one also comes with an assortment of stickers! Definitely worth grabbing a copy.
