For those of a certain age, it was almost a requirement to have a LiveJournal. Not everyone got into the design side of LiveJournal, though, and for me, it was essential to my development as an artist and a designer.

I put this zine together on a bit of a whim, realizing that I wanted to start sharing some of my memories and experiences around my earliest days on the web and the culture and community that existed back then. I hope to create more of these and then collect them all into something longer and create a book out of it.

Some of the icons reflect some of my interests back then, but also show some of the commissions I did for others, as was custom at the time. There was a true sense of community developed around these icons that seems hard to explain now, but you can discover a little more about it by reading the zine, which is available for purchase and download on itch.io.
