Reality Zine

$7 Add to cart

The inau­gural zine of a new era, laying out my two-pronged pro­gram for 2025 and beyond — a pro­gram that you are, naturally, invited to join. On one side, you'll find a mini-manifesto. On the other, a poster suit­able for dis­play on refrig­er­a­tors and other for­mi­dable house­hold objects.

My goal with these zines to make some­thing simul­ta­ne­ously per­sonal and unprecious. For me, it’s mean­ingful that this real object travels from my hands to yours. At the same time: my vision is for you to receive this, read and enjoy it, pin it up for a while... and then let it go.

I’m aiming for the spirit of old comics, pulp novels, newspapers: energy and ephemerality. (Of course, you’re free to store this zine carefully, if you like.)

The poster adapts the title of the classic 2017 blog post by John Salvatier, who is cred­ited in the zine’s text.

That text is marked with my pro­pri­etary Do Not Dig­i­tize guilloché:

Two-sided print on 11" × 17" Speck­le­tone from French Paper in Niles, Michigan. Printed in two color passes on a Riso­graph SF9450 at the Murray Street Media Lab in Berkeley, California.

First printing, March 2025: 500
Second printing, April 2025: 500
Third printing, September 2025: 500

Shipping for a single zine is $1, any­where in the world. The cost scales up for 2-3 zines, and 3 zines is the max. All zines are folded for mailing — refer to the pic­tures to see how they’ll arrive.

Shipping for 1-2 books is $5 inside the U.S. and an eye-watering $30 any­where else. Those rates increase if you order 3+ books.

Orders go out on Mondays. I don’t accept returns or exchanges. Questions? Email shop@robinsloan.com.

I ship zines via USPS First-Class Mail. When I print your address label, you'll receive a tracking link. Inside the U.S., delivery takes 2-5 days. Any­where else, delivery takes 1-3 weeks. (International orders are tracked until the USPS hands them off to your local postal service.)

I think it's mag­ical that this work can go nearly any­where in the world with a single stamp. This shop is, in some ways, an elab­o­rate exer­cise in post office appreciation.

Coun­tries to which I have dis­patched zines, so far: Australia, Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, Greece, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
