STORIES FOR SAD BOYS is an independent zine by Italian-Australian artist Gino Gurrieri that explores male vulnerability, melancholy, and emotional honesty through illustration, poetry, and personal narrative. The publication occupies a deliberately tender space in a culture that still struggles to give men permission to be sad, sensitive, or uncertain — and it does so with the gentleness and visual beauty that its subject demands.
Each issue is a small, handmade object filled with Gurrieri's distinctive illustrations and the kind of honest, unguarded writing that makes readers feel seen. The tone is compassionate without being sentimental, sad without being hopeless, and quietly insistent that softness is a form of strength. For anyone who has ever felt too much and said too little, STORIES FOR SAD BOYS is the zine that says it for you.
