Chinese Sweatshop, Elsie Sampson

Elsie's zines are bursting with art, handwritten comments, attached objects, recipes and all of the other accoutrements of exuberant creativity. She generally writes about her life as a resident alien Chinese living in White Plains, NY. She makes arts, goes to school, and attends zine and craft events. This has nothing to do with sweatshops.

Mirror Tricks, Robin Hustle

In contrast to Chinese Sweatshop's jumbling richness, Mirror Tricks is spare and subtle. It's a visual and written account of the author's experience as a prostitute.
