    Wuthipol Designs

    Wuthipol Designs sits in that sweet spot where print craft, photography, and playful structure all collide. Based out of Bangkok, Wuthipol is doing work that feels both super clean and totally hands-on at the same time—like you can sense the cutting mat just off camera.

    A lot of the pieces lean into format as part of the idea. Not just “here’s a zine,” but “here’s a zine that folds weird,” or opens in a way that makes you slow down and actually look. There’s a recurring interest in illusion, sequencing, and how pages interact—almost like each book is a small system rather than just a container for images.

    Visually, the work pops. Bright colors, bold shapes, simple graphic moves that feel intentional without being overworked. Some of it edges into that risograph-adjacent vibe, even when it’s not strictly riso—flat color, strong contrast, playful geometry. It’s very satisfying in that tactile, print-first way.

    There’s also a strong teaching/demo energy in some of the output—like you’re not just seeing the finished zine, you’re getting a peek into how it works. That’s always appreciated in zine culture, where process is half the conversation.

    What stands out most is how approachable it all feels. Nothing precious, nothing locked behind theory. Just thoughtful, well-made objects that invite you to engage, flip, unfold, and maybe try something yourself.

    If you’re into experimental formats, bold color, and zines that treat structure as part of the storytelling, Wuthipol Designs is worth spending time with.

  • Small Noise #3

    Small Noise #3

    Small Noise #3 is a quick, folded mini built around a single improvised comic. Hand-drawn, black ink, no polish—just straight pen to paper.

    The cover has that dense, scratchy horned figure with bold, uneven lettering. Inside, it’s a simple setup: a seated person and this looming horned character cutting their hair. “Snip snip” repeats across panels, carrying most of the rhythm. It moves more by feel than story—just a short, slightly off interaction that gets a bit stranger as it goes.

    Linework does most of the work. The horned figure is heavy and filled in, almost overwhelming the page, while the person is lighter and more open. That contrast kind of drives the piece.

    According to the back, it’s part of a series of short improvised comics, edition of 50 . It reads that way—fast, direct, no cleanup.

    It’s a small, quiet mini. More of a moment than a narrative.

    Owen Black – Super Search #3 (Mini-Zine Comic, 2024)

    No.5264

    Review by Briyan Frederick:

    Pencil-drawn mini-comic by Owen Black, Super Search is called to locate a diamond stolen from the Museum Of Cool Rocks and bring the criminal Blue Coat to justice. Owen is the son of Wastach Wonders’ Evan Black and I picked this up at their Grid Zine Fest table. Own was with his father at the table and had created his own mini-comic-zine, selling it for $1 (extra if you want it signed).
