Rust Magazine

We are beside ourselves right now as we grapple with an immeasurable loss that leaves a deep void not only in our hearts but in the creative community at large. Zachy was a rare bird who radiated joy, inspiration, and wonder wherever he went. He pushed bounds, broke convention, and embraced the weird in the most enchanting way.

We were lucky to feature Zachy’s work in the Issue #3 installment “Daybreak Dissidence” through a hoopstitch collaboration. More of his art can be found at zacharyswearingen.com. You can donate in his honor at gofundme.com/f/in-memory-of-Zach-swearingen @ Milwaukee, Wisconsin
