From 1990 to 2001, I was with many who jumped on this "zine revolution" deal, putting out xeroxed stapled tombs for some to review in the pages of Factsheet Five and a bit more to read. Whatever artwork, comics and cultural deconstruction I had in me head was plastered in digest pages and the world was going to pay for it....in more ways than one.

 

I unconsciously stopped my zine production soon after my third Josie & The Pussycat zine. Reasons for this was that FS5 had folded, 9/11, the main subject in the said Josie zine just died and the internet revolution was spreading sloth among the members of the previous revolution, effecting my readers, my enthusiasm and, finally, myself. Say 'hello' to the new boss, sucker!

 

Finally, old age and the boredom that cripples you when you move to a small town got the best of me and I returned to the zine-verse with a quarterly zine title named after a cool Swing Out Sister song: TWILIGHT WORLD (zine version). It's a per-zine of random slices of my life and god-knows-what that currently falls into me head. When blog entries get too repetitive and redundant in these overexposed days of the internet, you might as well chuck it, write it down and go broke xeroxing.

 

To borrow an excuse from Neil Innes, I suffered for my art, now it's your turn.
