Concept

Glowing Vol. 4 explores “The 10 Steps in Being an Artist,” with each step expressed as its own titled haiku. The zine is designed as a compact creative guide—part poetic manifesto, part playful instruction manual.

Cover Art

The cover is a visual homage to:
• Charles Schulz (Peanuts): clean lines, expressive simplicity, and emotional warmth.
• John Waters (Hairspray): bold camp, rebellious optimism, and a touch of outrageous charm.

This fusion creates a cover that feels both nostalgically familiar and daringly fresh—wholesome yet subversive, classic comic energy with quirky Baltimore flamboyance.

Inside
• 10 haiku-based “artist steps,” each with its own mood, illustration, or layout treatment.
• Printed on paper that will endure the sweat from your hands. Made to be read, handled, shared, lived with, and revisited.

Audience

Collectors of artist-made zines, fans of lowbrow art, Schulz/Walters admirers, creatives seeking inspiration, and supporters of the Quam art universe.

Purpose

To offer a small but glowing artifact that encourages people to follow their own creative path—and gives them something real, crafted, and intimate to hold in their hands.
