My last zine of 2025 - Frozen Peas! Who leaves reviews for frozen peas on supermarket websites, and what lives do they lead? Had a lot of fun drawing the little pea adventures for this one. Fun fact: I was originally searching for pea recipes but I just kept seeing goofy stories and decided to run with it!
Ever notice every car advert happens at the end of the world? What does the end of the world look like anyway - and why might we want to go there?
They killed us all and there is no more traffic is a 16 pages of risograph zine on exactly that. I even figured out how to combine some colours for this one.
My first Risograph zine, 'Astral Projection for the Modern Business' is out now in beautiful gold and purple! My take on how remote working would function in an occult Victorian era.
Printed (and stocked) by @typewronger - find it nestled in their zine & occult sections. Will also be on sale at Glasgow Zine Fest in a few weeks!
Cool exhibition about work and life, opening this Friday, 6-8pm at @embassygallery ! I've made some fun new stuff, especially for anyone who enjoyed theAstral Projection for the Modern Business zine. I'll be there, say hi, or check it out any time until 10 may :)
A CAPTCHA asks a simple question: can you prove you're human? Let's ask a better question: are you the most human? Find this out and more at the Folly Problem late-night human quiz. Come for at least 3 rounds of questions based on the odd ways we try to keep the machine and humans worlds apart starting at 11pm.
Alex writes zines and performs under the title of Folly Problem, all about how uncanny ideas collide with mundane life. His zines have explored remote work as astral projection for business, the human life stories left in frozen pea reviews, and explored of how car adverts depict the apocalypse.
Happy New Year! I've been exhausted since Christmas break started, but it did give me the chance to read some great zines / magazines and an independent comic that I was able to collect from various places across Edinburgh and Norwich.
If you want to know why I like each of them, where I found them, and so on: I did a little blog post on them here: /new-year-zine-reads/
I've got a blog now, for writing about zines or anything else. Link in my bio. This time I tracked down some birds (long-tailed tits) and wrote about them. You can go see them too if you like. Or just enjoy the recording I made of their yelling.
Another freakishly warm December is upon us. If you want a zine about how weird a warm December is, then wow, I've got one of those!
December T-shirt is a teeny little A7 zine about climate change getting a bit too real. Fight me for one in the warm December rain, or you could get one at @typewronger - your choice
First ever event - done! Thanks to everyone who said hi at Edinburgh Zine Fair. It was great to meet so many artists and art lovers. Special shout out to the kind soul who gave me a frozen pea badge 🫛 🫡
Hopefully I'll see lots of you at future events (first I better figure out what those are!)
EZF - Meet the Zinesters! 👀 I'll be showing off these zines (and more!!) at the Edinburgh Zine Fair this weekend.
It's my first time ever tabling an event so come along, say hi, and meet the duck 🦆 (it wants the frozen peas... 🫛). I'm around all weekend - see you there!
Saturday: noon - 5.30pm
Sunday: noon - 4.30pm

Zine alert: Why do sewer covers in old parts of Edinburgh say EWW? A joke? A coincidence? I did the research, found some very old drawings, and shoved them all in a nice blue zine for you.
Thanks to everyone who haspicked these up already, you can find the rest in @typewronger and I'll try to print some more soon :)
