Flower Girls is a zine by Brooklyn based artist Nichole Shinn and published by TXT books. This risograph printed and saddle stitched zine is a compilation of illustrated portraits of women, with ornate details and borders. Each portrait is a fairy-like character, created by Shinn, printed in maroon ink on textured paper. Nichole Shinn is one of the founders of TXT books, an independent publisher and risograph printer in New York City.
“Our interest is in self-publishing as a collective while facilitating projects with outside artists and writers. Our best case scenario is to publish those who have not yet considered producing a zine; Our ultimate goal is to create dumb jokes and passion projects with as many people as possible.
Our publications are resolved via Risograph printing for cost-effective self production and as an informal way to aesthetically bind our output.” -TXT books
