Hello everyone! Apologies for the radio silence here. I just wanted to provide a quick update on the project for everyone and let you all know where the project will be going moving forward! I would like to be as transparent as possible, and I appreciate your patience as we proceed with the project!
when does the preorder start?
Hello! Due to Covid-19, preorders have been postponed until further notice. We are continuing to monitor the situation as it evolves, but because a few of the manufacturers needed to create the merchandise we plan to have available are overseas, we have opted for postponement.
As we move forward, please continue to check our social for future updates regarding preorder dates. We thank you so much for your patience and your support!
Participating Artists! Today is the second check-in for the zine. A reminder was sent to all of you via email. Please send all check-ins via email or Google Drive along with a description of the concept behind your artwork (if this information has not already been provided). Thank you!
We’re happy to present the contributor list for OK KO Let’s Be Trendy, a fashion fanzine! Because of the great response, we have expanded our artist list! We encourage you to visit the links listed below and check out everyone’s amazing work. For all artists’ links, please check out the Artist List page!
Moving forward with the project, be sure to track the #okkozine tag to follow our progress and for previews of artwork. You can also follow our progress on Instagram and Twitter @okkozine. Thank you so much everyone!

Since this is a fashion zine will the outfits be separated by different time periods? (There really shouldn't be assignment for these since it's fun to see a few of the same characters showcasing styles throughout history!)
Hello! There are no restrictions for how the artists choose to depict the characters, any period of time is open to be interpreted in the zine.
All artists have been notified! Please be sure to check the inbox + spam folder of the email you used in your application. If you have not received an email, please contact us at okkozine@gmail.com with the email you used to apply.
Again, thank you so much! Please be sure to check back in for the final artist list on November 30th!
have acception/rejection emails been sent out yet?
Hello! Acceptance/rejection emails have not been sent out yet. The date for decision emails was pushed back to today, November 10th. All applications should receive a response by end of day. Thank you so much for your patience!
Are we allowed to draw more than one character within the same piece?
Hello! Yes, artists will be able to draw more than one character in the same piece. But please note characters will be assigned.
If there is a specific character or group of characters you are interested in drawing, artists will be asked to list them in order of preference. We will attempt to ensure artists are assigned something they are interested in drawing no matter what!
That’s a wrap, thank you so much to everyone who applied and helped spread the word about the zine! The response to this project has been incredible, we are extremely excited to get started.
QUICK UPDATE regarding decision emails for the zine. Originally, we planned to have them all sent out by Friday, November 8th. But due to the number of applications we received, we will be sending out emails a bit later. All applications should receive a response by Sunday, November 10th. Thanks so much everyone, and best of luck to all who applied!!
