- 1. 1 A COMMARTS COLLECTIVE A zine made by the Communication Arts Departme nt of VCU for EVERYONE 2016
- 2. 2 FORWARD Here it is! The second ever edition of A Commarts Collective, a zine made by communication arts students at VCU for, well, EVERYONE! We have a ton of talent this year and I can’t help but think that it is at least partially because of all the inspiration one could draw from the beautiful city of Richmond, Virginia. There are muses around every corner here from river rat to the finally finished VCU library to crust punks. The abundance of inspiration has made Richmond inhabitants particularly in touch with their hipster sensibilities. We are, after all, the new Portland (just don’t let anyone dare hear you say that out loud). We seriously could have a Portlandia spin off, I mean, the dream of the 90s is alive in Richmond! Don’t believe me? Just consider the fact that you are holding a zine right now… point made. Nothing against Richmonders; the people here are passionate about their craft beers, GWAR, feminism, Bernie Sanders, local coffee, single gear bikes, #BLM, veganism, house shows, handmade patches on denim jackets, Steven Universe, and PBR. That’s great! This is zine that celebrates all you passionate people so leaf through and appreciate all the awesome art our gracious contributors submitted this year. Hope you enjoy, see you next year!
