KEEP SUCKIG HIS FLAT FACE

Handle With Care is now seeking artists for the next volume! We are looking for about 20 artists for this edition.

Important information, boundaries, and legal stuff:

Submission deadline for Vol.6 is 19 May, 2026. If you are accepted but unable to make the deadline for whatever reason, please communicate with us! We are more than willing to be accommodating and figure something out.

The zine’s physical dimension will be 5.25 inches wide and tall (13.3 cm by 13.3 cm). Two-page spreads are welcomed. Submissions should be at least 300 DPI. Two-page spreads are welcomed. Submissions should be at least 300 DPI. Optionally, submissions in CMYK would be appreciated as the zine will be printed! But RGB submissions are just as accepted, they just might look a bit off on paper.

The prompt given for Vol.6 is gathering dust. This prompt is not strict: make something that’s the complete opposite if you want; it will not affect piece submission. Or feel free to go big and go bold with the theme, if you choose to engage with it!

Visual artists are welcome to submit a written accompaniment to their visual artwork if they’d like. Fully written works are currently capped to a maximum of five pages, though this may be adjusted once we have a rough idea what people are submitting.

Handle With Care is meant to celebrate raw objectum emotion and experiences, and meant to give these emotions a physical place in the world. We do not have a minimum skill level as a result.

However, we reserve the right to reject or ask for revisions on any submissions that make us uncomfortable, including any romantic depiction of an object that resembles a realistic feral animal or a human child. If your submission can be misconstrued as something far more concerning than just objectum sexuality by people who are not familiar with the community, it will be rejected for the peace of mind of everyone involved.

HWC is also strictly safe for work. Non-sexual nudity is allowed, although if it crosses a line we may ask for revisions.

All participants must be at least 18. Legal issues with using a minor's work and all that. Minors will be booted off the HWC discord, sorry! You are welcome to enter when you'll be legally an adult.

AI-generated submissions are also currently not allowed. We want to see work straight from objectum artists, not an objectum middleman commissioning ChatGPT for free and taking the credit.

HWC is non-profit. Physical copies are sold only to break even on printing and shipping. Any profit from donations will be re-invested in the zine or split evenly between all contributors.

Artists will retain all rights to their individual work, including copyright and being able to resell it. The zine editors (Ross Gillesby and Christopher Pye, in this volume) are allowed to sell the pieces only in the bundle of the entire zine and not individually, and will not own any copyright to those pieces.

Zine organization and communication is done through a Discord server. If you are interested in submitting something for Handle With Care Vol.6, please email [email protected] or [email protected] with:

What are you thinking of submitting? If it's a written work, how many pages do you estimate you'll need? What are your socials (for contact and verification purposes)?

We're very excited to work on a sixth volume of the zine!
