Paper Cuts

My friend Mona Smith is a real inspiration. About six months ago, she decided that something wasn't quite sitting right with her in her life, so he decided to make some real changes. These changes revolved around understanding and appreciating her creativity, something that I believe everybody wrestles with at some point in their life. Well, Mona decided to do something about it and the first manifestation is an awesome little zine called "Paper Cuts" that she painstakingly made in a small edition of 75.

This is one of Mona's drawings and is an example of one of the pages in the zine.
I just got one in the mail and it got me all amped up to make things. Here's a little statement about it that came in an email from her, "you're only given one life to live so you better be proactive and you better stand up and fight for anything you might believe in... because you either stand or you fall. time is a-wastin, so don't just do nothing..."

Uh Huh.

The zine is probably gone by now, but you can check out her blog HERE for tons of inspiring little posts. Rumor has it that a second zine is on the way too.
