For those of you asking, Zines are essentially hand made, self published magazines.

The first zine I ever received was in 1989 when I was in kindergarten, and we were partnered with a “grown up” 3rd grader. My partner created a zine for me, with a short story about a hero earthworm named “Wormy” and I still have it to this day.

There is something about Vans video style, that is SO original, and refreshing. Thank you Van. Thank you Spirited Man.

Every time I watch Van Neistat, I wish I could be his apprentice and just absorb his decades of filmmaking, design/art, and construction experience.

I love your creativity. And, oh as a former cut and paste artist creating ads and specking type for the yellow pages, I can tell you that running the copy thru the waxer twice at 2 angles say, 10 degrees and 350 degrees, works the best for pasting up!

I wish I could like this video twice. A masterclass in writing and salesmanship. Well done.

Did you adjust the images to allow for creep when folded? 6 pages, 110lb card stock. if the end user trims flush, the inner pages will be shorter than the outer, could put your images near or inside trim safety. 26 years of printing :) I appreciate the detail in this video.

Hi Van, your video came up on my feed and I’m super inspired by it! Thank you🙏🏻

Wonderful! I've been excitedly waiting for this. I will be printing mine out today! It's a pleasure to support. Thank you.

Van, you have inspired this Spirited Man. I can call my self a chef, musician, writer etc. but the act of creation and the thought process there within is what my spirit is tied to, and over the past few weeks of binging your content I have never been more inspired to just DO. Thank you Van

I went through a very heavy “grunge” phase in my late late teens/early 20s (not by clothing style- I just emerged myself in late 80s/early 90s Seattle & greater PNW grunge music and culture) and was really into all the “zines” I could find from those days. That’s where I learned what a zine even was. I’m 31 now so it’s been a long time since I’ve even heard the word lol. But this video was awesome and it also brought back lots of memories.

Your close to 500K Van … love every video .. i learn so much about editing from just watching yours vids 🔥💯 Much Love ❤️💯

I teach high school photography and we don't have many resources to print high quality at the school. for the advanced class we are doing a black and white Zine and I will print it at staples we just might have to do this with every semester. I will share this. Love seeing a zine layout with that machine. Thanks Van!

Ten Bullets is a central part of my business strategy. I love it. It ROCKS!

What a great Idea! I'm a Patreon from the beginning. As long as I keep my job I will stay a Patreon! KEEP IT UP SPIRITED MAN!

The Spirited Man is just just full of surprises. Leaving gifts like this one. I guess the surprise factor, as a rule of gift giving, really does make for a happy ending :).

i’ve watched this video twice now, i’ve been wanting todo a zine like this of my own for awhile. Thank you

Became a Patreon yesterday, literally to download the zine. Totally worth it.

Love that you’re teaching a new generation about zines!

I've been a computer nerd all my life. I'm a developer, I spend my days on computers, and I love it. Yet, the analog world is fascinating to me. Something I see from afar, I don't know much of, making it even more appealing. On top I love control over my stuff, and I hate buying new things (my computer is now 10+ years old). This fascination over the analog gained another level thanks to your videos. Thanks for the inspiration, looking forward to read the zine :)

I became a patron after watching this video. There are almost 4,000 subscribers now so I missed this one and another zine. I am so sad about missing this one. Anyway, thank you, Van, for inspiration.

I just finished creating two books for some research seminars in graduate school for architecture. Doing it yourself is so rewarding, for one, I did it booklet style like this and stapled, the other was printed double sided, stacked together, and bound with screw posts. Very happy with the results, this video is very timely.

I love how your Chanel has evolved to include your creative process and influences. I aspire to be as spirited man such as you. Peace and wellness to you and your family. Keep going Van. I wish my only way to reward you for my benefits was more than subscription and viewership. But alas, we operate our family of five on a budget. But you inspire me everyday to not treat our consumer goods as disposable. I also have learned from you to appreciate my wife of 22 year’s creative talent and encourage it. As well as help create a space to let her bloom. Thank you Van.

“It won’t fail because of me”. Nice 👍. This should not be used as an excuse but as a declaration.

Dang it Van! It worked now I am a paying member. Thanks for convincing me. Happy to contribute so little with so many to create such a small return to you. You are worth so much more but thank you for making it the price of a goooood coffee :)

Yesterday, -1 Netflix sub. Today, +1 Van Patron.

in love with your analog way of doing things

We need a Spirited Man Masterclass. Van's style is so such a fantastic resource for helping me shape my own videos

Such a thought out and beautifully executed message. I like to be part of this evolution of your channel.

I used to love making books and zines during my MA. I forgot how much I missed it until now. I'm 100% going to print and bind a copy of this!

i needed this inspiration today. thanks! living in a small town, its hard to find people to push me to grow.

Im soo happy hes getting love in the patreon space. He deserves the royalties from it and that means we get more content woohoo.

there is simply no mind on the web quite like Van, thank you man

I thought a packet of sewn pages was a signature? At least that’s what we called them back when I was binding books.

Hey Van, I used to make such zines in the early days when I was playing underground metal music - we did it to promote new unknown bands - people sent those zines from one fan to another, usually photocopying them along the way. Cool times :)

That's awesome! I saw the zine before seeing this but didn't have time to do anything but download it. Wonderful concept!

These videos are so completely inspiring. Thank you!

One of the best youtuber, and the best role model i have!

Just watched this today and I’m so bummed about missing out on zine 1! Really glad I have zine 2, though.

Alright, I’m sold

You're not ripping off Tom Sachs. 'Zines were around long before. At worst we make homages to them. In the same way I painstakingly printed out and bound scans of Ten Bullets (harvested from a collaboration site some years ago). I then used this to make my own Working to Code for my shop / studio. Is it influenced by Sachs? Yes but also by many other things. The content is original even if inspired. Regardless - looking forwarding to printing / binding yours (zines are still a thing with my [modern] kids and even my very [not] adult collaborators)...

I just had the ideas of making a zine and then this vid came out, right on

This a a brilliant idea! I did not see this method before. Wow. Good luck.

thank you spirited man, looking forward to print my own copy!

OMG! AAAAAhhhh! (Felt this was the appropriate response to this blog. Thank you, as you were......)

¡Congratulations Van! ¡Keep creating!

I just really like watching your movies. On KZfaq. A lot. Can’t bring myself to buy the Patreon.

I would call that stack of bound pages a signature. I would use the word registration to mean the set up that makes sure all your printing is accurate and fits the paper you use in the exact same way.

very good marketing drive!

Awesome job van

Not sure if this next idea/thought/tip is for you Van, because you seem to make work with purpose, and all the choices are there for that purpose. But if you, or anyone else would want to do this themselves; I found it to be nice to use a heavy duty paper cutting table to cut the page ends flush. This wil work only with a max ammount of pages and the type of the paper is also a factor. I found it nice to do that.

Done. I’ll see ya over o in the patreoniverse

More than awesome

Wish I could support you on Patreon just to get the Zine's. Since I can't because I'm just a student, you've inspired me to do the very best next thing! To make my own. To accumulate all the information heroes of mine, such as yourself, share with the world! Might come in handy! Can't wait for the next video.

Okay, that’s it.. I’m going to patreon to have a look and that’s how it is, because I like your stuff and the way you look at life/existence.. what ever the right fraise is, I think it’s some what clear what I mean.

My Ten Bullets and Paradox Bullets zines live in my backpack!

Love love love it. So cool, zines are a essential!

Van. Love the NF Zine idea.

Going to print mine. And sew it together. Wish me luck!

Really enjoy the “collection” aspect!

As someone that's made Zine's my entire life this is fucking awesome. Take my $5!

Love this! Thanks for all you do.

Need the second one

THX for your inspiration Van! Ignore this comment. It's just for the Algorithm. Best Part: 00:01 - 07:45

Love this episode, thank you

I hope when the day comes and Tom sachs is on vans pod that it is a two hour long convo

this video makes me wanna make one myself. thanks v!

This is amazingly beautiful

ahaha 2 days and 2000 patreons was crushed. Time to start working on the second one Van!

Ahh alright fine.. you got another patron

Wonderful idea!

every single thing in this video is perfect.

Very nice I'll get one

Great.

Oh I miss the 90’s. I had a skate zine and a raver zine.

brilliant

Hell yeah. Also zine about yer art scene adventures?

Brilliant !

I was so intrigued to see this Zine that I signed up with patreon and joined your membership… just to see that it has already been taking down… say it ain’t so? any hope of getting a copy? you got me hard teasing max Fischer and Herman Blume.

Graphic designers paradise

Awesome

Sorry to interrupt but… Paradox Bulles is the ultimate ✌️

genius cant wait to read it!

I wish you luck, i admire and relate

Well played Sir.. very clever.. I see where Casey got his ideas from

Cool!✌️

1:38 CONNECTICUT, BABY!

Great video, lovely to learn about zines. I must admit I misread the title as DIY zipline, which I was looking forward to watching, and subsequently was a little confused. Van, could you do a DIY zipline?

I support the shit outta this. Go Van Go.

4:37 I think the pack of pages might be called a “signature” rather than a “registration”. Not sure though

I'd love to know what synth and sequencer you've been using?!? Maybe I'll ask on Patreon.

Love the zine idea. You should make each volume available only until the next volume comes out. So you can't procrastinate and they'll be sort of limited editions.

Thankyou!

Tom Sachs logjam cover inspired by the mcmaster carr catalogue. Is there anywhere to buy it? Or was it a one off run?

Гэта добры ролiк, але ен зняты iнакш, добра

incredible

Craziest thing is i made my own replica of the 10 bullets like 4 weeks ago on my tom sachs escapade

That’s so cool

Going and joining now
