Winter Wellbeing is a risograph zine illustrated, edited and (mostly) written by Archie McKenzie, created for TransGiving, UK. It is a collection of advice from various community members young and old, sharing tips on how they navigate staying sane in the winter. The zine discusses, the importance of comfort, socialisation, light, navigating holiday periods, and more! 

 

In late 2023, when beginning the zine, I reached out to close friends and family who also struggle with the season to see if they had any advice they wanted to share. Some had lots to say, and some had just a couple of tips but together it formed a jam-packed zine with a familiar warmth, an array of cozy illustrations, and even comfort food recipes straight from the heart! All the contributors are listed in the back. The zine is risographed in Blue and was printed at The Printhaus, Cardiff.
