Mishmash Zines is a zine production studio run by three huge zine geeks and enthusiasts who are dedicated to creating high quality produced zines for a wide range of fandoms.We believe in integrity, and bringing our expertise and proven successful track record to this studio, as names you can trust in the zine scene.
Mishmash Zines was founded by Yabakuboi and MagnusTesla in December 2020, with AtlassArts joining the team in June 2022. As massive zine enthusiasts, and even bigger fandom geeks, they decided to turn their passion for the zine creation process and their love of fandom into something productive, something that would bring joy to others. Read more about them and their experience below!
Yabakuboi | She/They/He
Yaba is an American graphic designer and writer that has always been deeply in love with fanworks and fandom creators since she was old enough to turn on a browser. She is an avid fanfiction reader, occasionally a writer, and a tattoo collector with an empty wallet. All her professional work goes to funding a good life for her cat, Piper, her pride and joy and annoyance. Please don't ask her when she's going to update a fic, she has no idea.
MagnusTesla | They/Them, Xe/Xem
Magnus is a thirty-something, non-binary transmasc eldritch overlord, masquerading (terribly) as a human bean. They have a passion for spreadsheets and body horror. In their spare time, Magnus loves to garden, hack up monsters on the PS4, crochet, and collect variant comic covers. They have 3 adorable gremlins cats who seek to drive them insane with their neverending chaos.
AtlassArts | She/Her
Atlass hates writing bios is a professional graphic designer/illustrator who enjoys drawing fictional characters. She has been working in graphic design & layout for 8+ years and most recently has become obsessed with modding zines. She loves tea & is perpetually covered in cat hair.
Yaba, Magnus, and Atlass have worked on a couple of projects together, as well as some with other teams, which you can see below.
