If you enjoyed seeing me and so many talented LinkedIn ‘weirdlings’ ๐พ featured in the debut issue of the Weird Professional Zine, then you are really going to enjoy what everyone has compiled for Issue No. 2. Not only is there more content than the debut issue, but the zine has sponsors now as well.
For this issue, we were encouraged to design our own page(s), and apparently mine is instantly recognizable because, as so many people have told me, my โbranding is on point.โ I guess my 15 years of marketing experience finally has its benefits for something on LinkedIn. Now if only those skills could pay the bills and their platform would actually help me land a legit job. ๐
For my submission I decided to use my “Walk On The Wild Side” portrait I did of Howie Mandel and Maurice from Little Monsters. I felt it really encapsulates the strange fun vibe of the literary mag. Ironically I had submitted my page months prior to getting invited to Howie’s show and getting to meet him, so the universe really was aligned with this one and apparently my intuition was on point as well.
Here is a how my finished page looks published in the zine….
๐ Be sure to give the online version of the whole zine a look through and discover all the weird and wonderful things everyone submitted. It will be available on Flipbook (for 1 year) and you can also purchase a print copy (pre-orders are open until June 1st) as well.
๐คฉ A big shoutout to our Fellowship Of The Weird Editor-in-Chief, Ambra Hubert ๐ฆ for continuing to make this literary magazine possible and for giving all of us โweirdlingsโ ๐พ a platform to express ourselves without judgment!
Being a part of unique projects like this is exactly why I love sharing my work publicly.
