At a friend's house was a copy of heckinsick's first zine in print format. He explains the concept in video format, available on all the popular platforms:

Having read through it in about 15 minutes, it seemed to me like a miniature version of the previously-monthly, DIY-focused Maker Magazine, but focused on artists in general and with a single narrator rather than various authors writing about the artists featured.

Some of the articles take on a Q&A format, while others are essentially a show-and-tell and he distills the essence alongside detailed color photos. The artistry is diverse, including photography to furniture to pumpkins.

This first edition is more "pamphlet" than "zine", but the printing looked and felt premium, and I could see myself buying a copy as a coffee table read.
