Two local gays make a zine about their neighborhood
A downloadable zine
🐛 PDF / 24 pages 🐛
A tiny fanzine of photos, drawings, thoughts, and little details about our neighborhood.
By nbmachine and Ivan Papiol
On a rainy Sunday, while chitchatting, we talked about how cool it'd be to see more regular places in the media. Regular neighborhoods, in ordinary towns, with common people. Like us.
It’s been a little bit more than a year since we moved to this neighborhood, but it feels like it was ages ago, like this has always been our home. This place is soothing, extremely quiet, and it kinda seems it got stuck in the 2000s. Probably a boring place for most people, but a familiar place for us.
We love going on walks: looking at every tiny detail, every shop sign, every graffiti, every traffic sign filled with local artists’ stickers and computer repair ads. This zine is a letter of love to all of it, along with a little bit of ourselves too.

love this so much! coolest piece of art i've seen in a while. i'm leaving for college next year, and this made me look at my hometown with a diff lens.
Fantastic !! the style is captivating, love the combinations of photos and drawings. i'm not from spain, but as someone who lives in brazil, the thing about not really being able to see our reality without the lenses of US is very relatable. our culture must be seen by our own lenses. thank you for sharing this !! i hope you have grown more comfortable in your home and neighbourhood ♡
So Cute!
I love this project so much, the vibes are immaculate!! ¡Obra magnifica y qué ganas tengo de explorar sus otros proyectos!
Es increible, ojala más material asi de lindo en las ferias anarquistas de nuestro barrio <3

I downloaded this zine at 3 AM and I think that was the best way to read it. It was such a pleasant and comforting read about all the little things in the neighborhood and it's making me want to create a zine of my own. Nice work!
