Aidan Mabey / Most Popular Boy
I am a writer, a lover of sour cherries, a film photographer, a fisheries scientist, a tender-hearted and skinned-knee traveller who loves to package my inner thoughts and experiences into tiny books that you can hold in your hands and savor or stash in a pocket for a snack later. I have been making zines for 10+ years and have a catalogue that includes poetry, photography, collage, and various printmaking techniques. All of my works are self-published, self-printed, self-stapled together at my kitchen table.
