blank the plague - issue one

Description

call it my quarter life crisis - i looked up from the television one day and realized that, lo and behold, there are problems in the world. i kind of freaked out, and this zine was part of the result. issue one is a bit rough around the edges, but i like to think that it's a worthy read.

through a succession of moves and traumas i managed to eek out five issues of btp; i put it to rest after moving to nyc, but have by no means given up writing, zining, collage, or the cut-and-paste method.

all five issues of btp were lovingly crafted by hand; these are not works rendered in photoshop or some such newfangled technology. scotch tape, rubber cement, scissors and my royal quiet deluxe were always my main tools. please read, please enjoy, and above all, please let me know what you think.
