Merriam-Webster defines a zine as a small run often noncommercial, homemade publication usually devoted to specialized subject matter. I'm paraphrasing. If you want to know more, Wikipedia has an excelent article on zines.

QRK5

This is my art/perzine that is made up of content from my notebooks, sketch books and photo archives. Though it often includes current work as well. QRK5 is NATO morse code shorthand for read you loud and clear.

Also, for the record, QRK5 is pronounced cue are kay five.
