I started with a piece of an old Indianapolis street map, which I painted with fluorescent blue and yellow and then hit with blue splatters. The graphic on the front cover came off some junk mail and had been bouncing around my stash for ages.
I just love your zine! The colors are so neon-bright, and I love the way they sometimes follow the contours of the map but mostly don’t. The fun facts about Indiana are also very entertaining. I definitely learned a few things!
Thanks, everyone! I was really happy with the map base, although using something that already had a bunch of folds in it created an unnecessary hurdle.
As did I! I would’ve sworn (as I think would most Hoosiers) that “Back Home Again” was the state song. Excited to start some fights now .
Do it!
You have a connection to Butler, right? I can confirm that’s not part of the base map, because it’s on the offcut I’m currently using as an underpaper.

I went to Purdue in West Lafayette. My roommate was Evansville. I also lived in Indy for two years and my grandparents lived in Boswell.
As a 90s kid from Europe, my first association with Indiana is Eerie, Indiana … but the first thing that comes to mind when I think of New Jersey is the Sopranos
It would be a fun idea for a swap, a home country / state swap where everyone shares fun facts about the place they’re from.
