🇬🇧 London friends, this one’s for you!

Join author Eugene Cheong and illustrator Simon Spilsbury for the launch of Cowards Don’t Go To Heaven at the D&AD Festival on 9 June.

Part creative manifesto, part survival guide, the book brings together four decades of hard-earned lessons on courage, curiosity, intuition, authenticity, and persistence — all delivered with Eugene’s signature wit, honesty, and refusal to play it safe. Paired with Simon’s brilliantly irreverent illustrations, it’s a conversation starter as much as it is a book.

Come by for an evening of stories, ideas, and creative mischief. Whether you're a designer, writer, artist, student, or simply trying to make something meaningful, we'd love to see you there.

🎟️ Tickets are free — register via the link in bio.

📍 D&AD HQ, London

Behind every zine is a much bigger story ✂️📚

Independent publishing doesn’t happen in isolation — it’s shaped by print studios, publishers, art book fairs, libraries, collectives, and communities that keep ideas moving from one pair of hands to another. 🤲

In the book‘s “Behind the Zine” section, we spotlight some of the people and platforms helping zine culture thrive today: from the vibrant Risograph experiments of RISOTTO , to the publishing worlds of Hato Press and Nieves Books , community-driven spaces like Raum Für Illustration and ZINE COOP , and global meeting points such as Tokyo Art Book Fair and PageMasters .co.

Together, they reveal how zines are more than printed objects — they are networks of collaboration, care, experimentation, and shared enthusiasm. 🌍

Swipe through to meet some of the people keeping independent publishing alive - and read the rest in A Book on Zines, available first on victionary.com! 📓

7 to Rewire Your Creative Mind 🧠

What happens when a publication becomes a eulogy, a seaside diary, an archive of cracker labels, or an observation of laundry hanging out to dry? What if a zine arrived disguised as a box of food, or transformed overlooked railings into experimental furniture?

From In The Name Of The Father, a moving tribute to family and remembrance, to Grafis Nusantara Vol.2, which preserves Indonesia’s overlooked graphic heritage, and Hang, where improvised drying racks become accidental urban compositions — these works challenge how stories are documented and shared. Elsewhere, miniature ceramic fèves, quiet reflections on self-improvement, solitary walks by the sea, and unnoticed details of city infrastructure become subjects worthy of entire publications.

Swipe through 7 zines featured in A Book on Zines that remind us creativity often lives in the specific, the strange, and the deeply personal. ✨

A Book on Zines was designed with the same question often ask: what if publishing felt a little more human? ✂️📎

A sister to A Book on Books, the cover echoes its familiar structure. This time, swapping polished stacks for a pile of zines scattered across a cutting mat, nodding to all the trimming, stapling, folding, and making behind independent publishing. Wrapped in craft paper, the book carries the warmth of something ; a small tribute to rough edges, DIY spirit, and works made with intention rather than perfection.

Special thanks to Dinamo for sponsoring the lovely typeface used throughout ✨

A Book on Zines — New Aesthetics in Zine Design

Small in scale, but full of ideas — zines have always been spaces for experimentation, self-expression, and making without permission. Passed between friends, discovered at book fairs, or tucked into bags and shelves, they capture thoughts and stories in ways that feel deeply personal. 📓

A Book on Zines celebrates independent creators reshaping contemporary publishing through bold visuals, unusual formats, material play, and honest storytelling. Featuring zines from around the world alongside conversations with artists, designers, publishers, and curators, the book explores why this humble format continues to matter.

From accordion books and archival projects to tactile objects disguised as everyday packaging, these pages are filled with works that challenge what publishing can look and feel like.

A companion to A Book on Books, and a source of inspiration for anyone who loves print, independent publishing, and creative experimentation.

Courage. Curiosity. Playfulness. Persistence.

At the heart of Cowards Don’t Go To Heaven are eight habits Eugene Cheong believes sustain a creative life — not through certainty or talent alone, but through instinct, conviction, idealism, and continuing despite doubt.

These pages aren’t rules to follow, but reflections shaped by four decades in , creativity, failure, and reinvention. Accompanied by Simon Spilsbury’s expressive illustrations, they offer something rarer than advice: perspective.

Which habit speaks to you most?

20/05/2026

What keeps a creative going after decades of doubt, failure, reinvention, and success? What’s worth holding onto — like courage, instinct, and idealism — when the industry rewards certainty?

Flip through Eugene Cheong’s brutally honest reflections on creativity, accompanied by 71 illustrations from Simon Spilsbury . Equal parts manifesto, memoir, and beautifully chaotic notebook, this is a book to revisit whenever you need some perspective — or just a push!

Cowards Don’t Go To Heaven
The Scribblings of A Lost Creative Soul Who Found Paradise

What happens when four decades in advertising collide with faith, failure, instinct, humour, and hard-earned creative truths? Eugene Cheong turns it into a manifesto that’s unapologetic, wildly honest, and impossible to neatly categorise.

Accompanying the writing are 71 illustrations by Simon Spilsbury , whose expressive, offbeat visuals punctuate the chaos and bring another layer of wit and humanity to the pages.

Part survival guide, part memoir, part creative provocation — Cowards Don’t Go To Heaven is for anyone trying to make meaningful work without losing themselves along the way.
