Radiant leaves, ripe fruit, fall from trees. Celebrate! Rhythmic cycles of life to death, grow naturally to decompose.

About the Krazines

The Krazines (formerly the Kenosha/Racine Area Zine Makers) are an art-making, creative writing, and zine publishing group, whose membership is open to anyone who wishes to take part from Kenosha, Racine, or anywhere else in the world.

The Krazines were founded in 2016 as a part of Left of the Lake, LLC. Their first event took place in February 2016 at Public Craft Brewery in downtown Kenosha, WI when several celebrated zinesters entertained and educated at this social place. In the following month (and ever since), artists and authors of all ages and abilities have produced pages to be published in our full-color, professionally-printed zine.

Copies are provided to contributors and sold to subscribers, as well as limited amount of copies are for sale to the general public.

In non-COVID times between 2016 and early 2020, The Krazines hosted monthly Art Jams on first Saturdays at galleries, shops, museums, coffee houses, and private residences in the Kenosha and Racine area. They hope to return to greeting you at Art Jams at some time in 2021.
