GUTMAG × Melt: Snow Day (2026)

Front cover of GUTMAG × Melt: Snow Day, a limited-edition fan zine with collaged portraits of the three band members and a foil-stamped title.

In 2026, GUTMAG collaborated with the band Melt to produce a limited-edition zine built from hundreds of fan submissions. Contributors traveled from across the country for an in-person production session, where texts and photographs were collaged and assembled into a hand-bound issue. Sullivan led the project through GUTMAG, working across editorial direction, design, production, and hand-binding.

The zine was hand-bound in an edition of 150 copies with a foil-stamped cover, singer-sewn binding, short-sheet inserts, and a loose poster insert.

The zine debuted at Melt’s sold-out Snow Day concert at Racket NYC.
