Luis Blackaller a.k.a. Cartoon Distortion (él) es un artista gráfico y cineasta Mexicano enfocado en temas de conservación del espacio publico y cultura popular urbana, colonialismo cultural, cine y caricaturas. Luis vive en Los Angeles, donde publica su trabajo en forma independiente con el objetivo de plasmar su visión de la imaginación Latinoamericana y la vida en la cuidad de México.

Centrándome en mi experiencia personal como fotógrafo callejero y artista gráfico, describiré cómo aprendí a usar zines y auto-publicación para darle una nueva perspectiva y significado a mi arte. Hablaré sobre algunas fuentes de inspiración, técnicas, y enfoques en mi proceso de creación de zines, y seguiré con algunas recetas y consejos para inspirar a las personas interesadas en crear sus zines.

Zine Making as a Self-Publishing Adventure with Luis Blackaller (In Spanish)

Luis Blackaller, a.k.a. Cartoon Distortion (he/him), is an artist and filmmaker from Mexico City with an interest in public space, issues of representation and diversity in popular culture, the life-cycles of narrative colonialism, and good old fashioned cinema. Luis lives in Los Angeles, where he self-publishes his personal work with a simple mission in mind: to express his vision of Latin American imagination and life in Mexico City.

Focusing on my personal experience as a street photographer and graphic artist, I will describe how I learned to use zines and self-publishing to bring new life and meaning to my art. I will discuss a few sources of inspiration, techniques and approaches in my own zine making process, and I will follow up with a few recipes and advice to help inspire those interested in making their own zines.
