After visiting the SF Museum of Modern Art AND City Lights bookstore AND-AND this cool comic shop in Ashland, Oregon, that sold zines and underground books (I can’t remember the name, unfortunately), I felt the urge to just make some ARTZ. You can see in this zine the obvious influence of some of the abstract art that Mariah and I saw at the various galleries and museums that we visited, but the idea of just communicating my MOMENT---the feelings and thoughts that were running through my head as I was sitting by the pool and watching the human display flopping around in front of me---was also important. (I like to sit with my back to a wall, so people don’t get behind me. It’s a neurotic thing…)
If you’re interested in art or cartooning or communication, feel free to grab a FREE copy of this zine (in PDF format) and give it a look! If you’re amused, let me know. If you are inspired to make your own zines, send me information on how to get my hands on a copy. I love examples of free expression, and I’d be happy to let you know what I think of your creation! (Get that conversation started!)

I think my next post will be either a new radio show (on 3Speak) or a book review. I have to DJ a big company picnic tomorrow, so I’m not sure if I’ll get around to posting anything, but by Sunday, I should be ready to rock-n-roll again! See you then!
