ENTROPY – No. 2, 33 pages, 1/4 size

Excerpt:
Some people appeared intimidated. It was this thought, which may have been a complete figment of
my imagination that made me more outgoing. I made jokes and small talk with random people
in the supermarket. Normally shunning all unfamiliar social interaction, I started relishing
in it. I enjoyed smiling and greeting people as if to prove there need be no intimidation. “Look how
normal I am!” my actions screamed. Be intimidated, be scared, believe I’m going to corrupt
your A+ student, go ahead. I’ll embrace you. And what will you do then?

Brainscan - Issue 21

2009-10-25T09:17:00.001-07:00

Brainscan – Issue No. 21
44 pages in gocco printed envelope, 1/2 size
Excerpt:
I haven’t made an issue Brainscan in four years and I hope that this zine helps to explain why. Brainscan 21 explores my recognition of being in an emotionally abusive relationship, the attempts on both parts to right wrongs, the failure to do so, and gathering the strength to take the next step.

What if your private life in your relationship is vastly different than what other people see? When do you know you are in an emotionally abusive relationship? How to you gain the strength to get out of it? What do you do when you know you can’t handle the burden alone? What do you do when you feel so alone and terrified of the consequences of leaving, when if it means losing friends, a home, a job and a way life that you love?

These are just some of the ideas explored in this zine through a three year personal narrative that also challenges you to examine your relationships with power, to identify how you express the power you have, and also how you relate to the power that of others possess. But most of all this, zine is about revelation, rebirth, and growth.
