Felice Cleveland's Handmade Zines Chronicle Travel and Houston Life
Felice Cleveland, an artist based in Houston, produces a variety of zines, such as DIY guides and books about animals, which can be found online and at zine festivals across Texas. A prominent theme in her work is travel; her 'National Park A to Z Coloring Book!' was originally designed as a gift for her nephews and showcases illustrations and facts about national parks. The revised 2025 edition of 'Central Texas Swimming Holes' highlights locations like Barton Springs Pool and Blanco State Park, including details on costs and features. Since relocating to Houston in 2016, she has also developed 'Houston City Guide' and 'City Guide Houston with Kids' to inspire visits from family and friends. All zines are meticulously hand-drawn, stitched with waxed thread, and available on her Etsy shop.
