This was really interesting! I like how the blackout technique creates lines that sound a lot more slick and modern than the original play probably does, like "Therefore let us not shift away. there's no mercy left." so it feels really transformative. "All is the wine of life" is also a really cool way to end it.

This made me feel things. I'm impressed by how 'pared down' the poems are, and I appreciate the pages giving context and your vision for this zine. The idea of dissolving a 'celebrity autobiography' into a story like this is really interesting. The black and white images also work really well with the theme of loss. Well done!
Enjoyed reading this! I'm not a painter myself so it was really interesting to read about the sheer variety of things art supply shops have for painting. The thing that stood out to me was the idea that even 'bad' paints are somehow tempting because being able to use them to make something good gives that rush of accomplishment. I feel I can definitely relate to that. As for the visual design of the zine, I really enjoy the colours and the collaged words. It really conveys the sense of one-thing-leading-to-the-next. I did have some trouble reading the words that overflowed onto the next line like 'be-comes', so I'm glad this comes with a text version. Thanks for sharing.
