zines #-H zines I-Q zines R-Z red eye by ludovic besancon. quarter sized 116 pages .one dollar postage paid. red eye is a short novella of sorts that's almost dreamlike in a way, even though
it's about actual happenings. it starts off with him going to a protest, and the strangeness that goes on --
since the protesters are supposed to dress up like "capitalists". then it goes to him going to the
"corporate party" after the protest and not being allowed through the door; perhaps because of appearance, not
"radical looking enough". then he tries to go train hopping with a group of people but instead gives up, goes back home.
ludovic also talks about visiting kurt cobain's house. what lies inside all these scenarios is a lot of actual feeling --
instead of romanticizing things, ludovic examines the realities and constraints of being apart of a group of politically active friends.
he makes some really interesting points about art, and how it's $400 for a painting, yet he couldn't sell his zine for $40. a short sweet little
read that wraps you up in his world.
undecided issue eight is a mixture of art, photos, personal journal entries. it
contains articles by nicole and contributors writing about the Garbage Liberation Front (dumpster
diving yay!), thoughts on compassion, communicationg and cooperation from the hopeless dregs of humanity,
interview with 0S101 band from jersey, political writings, making keanu reeves cry, musings, rants,
nicole's trip to the bahamas and the tourism and exploitation there...and much more! such an awesome
read, really enjoyable, highly recommended for value, content and general awesomeness!
comic by maximus. an essential to any post modernist hipster etc etc i actually like this comic a lot, truth be told, and i think what seperates
this comic from others is a definite intellectual yet cynical feel about it. it's smartass without
being arrogant, educated and political without being pedantic, and of course the illustrations are incredible! untitled #2 is a continuation of #1. both
are wonderful.
how to describe it? it's filled with photographs and fragments, short anecdotes described
in such lyrical poetic glory. beautiful.
