Randumb
Zine/Illustration

Rats, robots, rotten milk at the back of the fridge. Randumb is a zine that celebrates the ridiculous stories your brain comes up with while you’re staring at the floor of the train on the trip back home from work.

The mural style drawing was spontaneously drawn, with no plan as to how it was going to turn out. The headlines written afterward attempt to make sense of the scenes they are describing, albeit in a nonsensical, rambling sort of way. Parts of the headlines are also hand-painted at the top of the page, to emphasise the gibberish copy. Printed on colored paper, this adds another element of randomness, as different pages appear in various colours due to the binding of the booklet.
