Creamy Life is a series of zines that I began printing in 2012. I’ve printed in the teachers only printer closet at my college, at Kinko’s and once with help from a local art collective on their Risograph printer. Every time is a thrill: holding the little stack of books, each one hand folded and stapled.
The name doesn’t refer to anything in particular, one day the phrase A Creamy Life Devoid of Passion came to me and that’s what I called the series, shortening it to just Creamy Life for issue two and beyond - I guess I matured into a more joyful way of looking at life in that period.
Each zine is a lovingly crafted collection of sketchbook drawings, finished pieces, comics and journal entries. Looking through them vividly brings me back to the time period they were created in, especially the autobiographical comics and drawings of boys. My obsession with boys and collecting sometimes more than one at a time is apparent in these little books. They are extremely personal.
The following pages contain all four Creamy Life zines to date, bonus drawings from the same time period, and my commentary.
