Webly Bowles
Webly Bowles (aka Webly Bucket, born April 26, 1981) is a zinester from Portland, OR.
Bowles was born in Houston, Texas but spent her formulative years in Salt Lake City, Utah. Her sister, Alex Wrekk first introduced her to zines in the mid '90's before they started their own, Fun in a Bucket. Later, they both went their own ways breaking away from Fun in A bucket, as Webly created Touched by an Anvil after her love of anvils, and Wrekk started Brainscan.
Bowles went on to write about broken hearts. In her college years in Eugene, Oregon, her writing turned more to her everyday life of her love for architecture, dogs, her failing health, traveling adventures and growing up.
Today, Bowles is an architect by day, and her struggle in balancing an office job with her DIY ethics comes up often in newer issues of her perzine, Touched By An Anvil.
Coda Bowles, the dog-like animal she lives with, was the main character of the independent short, A Cowboy Hat & A Cane.
Webly Bowles was the first user to contribute to ZineWiki.
