so, the zine is basically about my experiences with having a psychotic illness [schizoaffective disorder]. it is about 25 pages and is quarter sized. just so you know, it can be gross at times. actually - i think it upsets some people, so...

here is a brief excerpt, to give you a general idea:

"
i would get dressed up to go to 7-11 and buy cigarettes.

and before it was too late at night, i would call my parents, trying to hide the quivering in my voice. why, yes, i have been looking for a job. yes, i have been going to class. yes, i am scared. yes, i am going to die.

yes, i.ll leave a note.

i couldn.t even think of much in that department, except 'i.m SO FUCKING SORRY.'

so i would just wake up screaming in that apartment. weird and breathy, high pitched screams. screaming that i wasn.t dead. wake up wake up wake up. it would scare my cat. the cat i would picture chewing on my fingers like in batman when miss michelle was pushed out the window.
"

the zine will come with an "update letter" of sorts, comparing where i am now, as opposed to when i wrote this zine.

this art print is about 7x5 inches and is printed on glossy photo paper. yet again... another piece that i did in the infamous "depression den." i actually based this on charles bukowski. i don.t know why, but i have always loved the hell out of this drawing. maybe because it does not look like anything else i have done? i don.t know... i did it with crayons, though. :)

this art print is about 7x3 inches and is printed on glossy photo paper. this drawing is kind of a "redo" of a piece i did for a class. the interesting thing about that is the first drawing i did like this was for a final project that i had to present in front of the entire class. i was a nervous wreck. my anxiety was out of control... most everyone else had drawn things like birds in a nest, etc. mine was the weirdest thing there. i shook like a madman while i talked about it and what the drawing meant to me. but, i did it and it was a big step for me.

this art print is about 7x5 inches and is printed on glossy photo paper. this is one of my recent ink concoctions. when i say "ink," it means sharpie markers! i have been trying to do work that i feel is more representational of myself and i think this achieves that. i have been trying to incorporate some of the things i have written into my artwork. and, believe it or not, i find slight humor in this.

this art print is about 7x5 inches and is printed on glossy photo paper. this drawing is another one from the "mosters" period. i was not deliberately trying to make my art look so cartoonish - it was just how things happened. however, i have had a bit of a soft spot for this one. i just feel like these drawings where a big step for me, even though they are pretty basic. they were attepts at metaphorical self portraits.

this art print is about 7x5 inches and is printed on glossy photo paper. along with nick cave, i was pretty into nico for awhile, too... not as much as nick, though! :) but, holy shit that woman had a sad voice. actually, her voice was just empty, not sad. so, it was naturally fitting for me to listen to her at all the time during the dark times. anyways, i have always had a fondness for this drawing because the eyes look as dank as her voice sounded.

this art print is about 7x5 inches and is printed on glossy photo paper. back in the day, i was obsessed with nick cave. i found some of his work to be so lacking of hope that there was actually an intense distain for hope... which is how i felt for a long time. my favorite song of his was loverman and i had a live version that i would listen to nonstop. i was so impressed with that song because it actually scared me a bit. i was at a point in my life where i generally did not have concrete emotional reactions, but i did to that song. as for listening to nick cave now... i have a theory that the quality of his work has gone to hell since he grew that damn mustache. i miss "pre-mustache" nick cave!

this art print is about 7x5 inches and is printed on glossy photo paper. i did this right after i did the "help me" drawing, which is also in my shop. and, like "help me," i did this drawing as quickly as possible. for some time, i hated these drawings, but now i really think they very much represented that time in my life. they were the first drawings i did after i had my psychotic break... a year later.

this art print is about 7x5 inches and is printed on glossy photo paper. this drawing was a first, in terms of when i started to draw monster-ish looking faces and figures. i will be honest... i was pretty disatisfied with my art during this time! :) but, i think the concepts are interesting, so i decided to put these drawings up in my store. also, this period in my artwork is interesting to me because i actually felt more connected to the images. they felt more like self portraits than anything i had done up to that point.

this art print is about 7x5 inches and is printed on glossy photo paper. it is yet another drawing i did while living in living alone in a dank apartment that was later coined "the depression den." i did a lot of fairly basic drawings while living there because i wanted to start making purses with my art on them. it was not until years later that i actually got around to such projects because i was too depressed to focus that much.

this art print is about 7x5 inches and is printed on glossy photo paper. this is a piece that i tried to do relatively fast. i always feel like i am not spontaneous enough... or something. also, this drawing always makes me giggle a bit because, when i showed it to my mom i said, "i wish i was really talented at something." she then said, while looking right at my drawing, "most people aren.t." it killed me.

this art print is about 7x5 inches and is printed on glossy photo paper. oddly enough, this is one of my favorite drawings that i have done. i know it is not exactly... great. but, it was the first drawing i did after i had a psychotic break. it took me about fifteen minutes and probably was the most physically involved i have ever been with a drawing - i did it fast on purpose and did not think about what i was doing at all. it just happened.

this art print is about 6x5 inches and is printed on glossy photo paper. this is another drawing that i don.t remember a whole lot of details about. i do know that i did it in the infamous "depression den," which was when i was living in a basement apartment and was slowly going out of my mind... i also remember that the eyes are based on a photo of musician katie jane garside, during her daisy chainsaw days.

this art print is about 6x5 inches and is printed on glossy photo paper. it is a copy of a boucher drawing. this piece is kind of interesting for me because i did it for the first college art class i had taken in ages. the reason it was interesting was because i had not been able to draw by observation for quite some time... i had lost that skill and was pleasantly surprised!

this art print is about 7x3 inches and is printed on glossy photo paper. i drew the head and the noose - the rest i got out of an old paper doll book i had. on the right side of the drawing, there is a line from a poem i wrote that says, "birthed myself a shithouse rat." i actually quite like this piece because it reminds me of times when i was a child that i actually scared myself. i never felt like i fit into the concept of "childhood innocence." i always felt like i was very different and very strange.

this art print is about 7x3 inches and is printed on glossy photo paper. i did this drawing when i was living in what is now referred to by my friends and family as "the depression den." i was living alone in a small basement apartment that had no windows. all i did was draw, scour the internet, smoke cigarettes and drink coffee. very bad times, indeed! i don.t remember much else about the specifics of this drawing... well, i should say that the image is purposely cut off below the nose. part of the drawing is not missing! :)
