My own journey as an artist took off in the summer of 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. I quickly learned how difficult it can be to gain exposure as an independent creator, and upon noticing that there were many gifted people in the same predicament, I was inspired to create this publication to try and work to change that, even if in a small way.
 
j3tzine has since grown to become a platform which showcases the talent and stories of those who I collaborate with in an artistic capacity, and more widely those whose work I personally admire.
 
​I hope that my readers, watchers and listeners will enjoy engaging with the crafts of the contributors as much as I do. Some are experts in their fields, whilst others are at the beginning of their journeys, but all are talented and have touched or inspired me in some way!
