I made "22 Reasons you should come to Geese Goose" as promotional material for abcpvd's April 2024 exhibition. I gave most of these zines to Providence artists and friends, asking them each to show the zine to 3 or more people before the show opened. The remaining zines were given away as a prizes for completing a bingo card during the opening nights.

In addition to handset metal and wood type, these zines were printed with lasercut collagraphs based on geese images I sourced from various digital repositories. These sources are as follows:
