hello and welcome!
2GÜD is an art punk zine run by two college students, sarah luu (she/they) and mols smurthwaite (they/them). sarah is currently studying art and mols is studying anthropology. the two first met in person at a show in san francisco, and 3 years later have been inseperable BESTIES!!!!!!!
based in san jose, california, 2GÜD released its first issue in january 2021 and started as a way for the two to not only express their inner thoughts and creativity, but to also allow them to channel all the negative energy from the early phases of the global pandemic towards something meaningful. their issues mainly consist of collages, short essays, journal entries, and personally curated playlists. all work is done by hand, cut and paste style...old skool baybee... B)
motivated by fellow friends who were zine makers themselves, sarah and mols decided to collaborate together to create one of their own, inspired by countless punk, riot grrrl, and art zines that predate that of their current generation. 2GÜD is seen by the creators as a glimpse in their own minds, and the two hope that while flipping through the pages, you will be inspired to create zines of your own-- one does not have to be the most talented or resourceful to make one :-)
"2GÜD is a way for us to be heard. we hope that you'll listen. if you don't like it, we don't care. we're 2GÜD 4 u anyway."
