Ivy Rose Zines are self-published perzines delving into an intimate, embarrassing, and always genuine internal world. Based in the Bay Area for the past six years, each perzine is a delicately crafted compilation from the various sketchbooks of Ivy Rose. Each zine is a deeply personal reflection of a different aspect of the author's life. These stories act as mirrors for the readers to see themselves with and illustrations drawn to evoke the emotions we often forget to let ourselves feel.
Comics about dancing divas & middle school heartbreak, illustration zines, clay figurines & earrings!
