Except for a few of the newest ones and a Lubricated Zine submission that I'm not showing yet, you are looking at everything I've been doing for the past month and a half or so. Jeez. I wanted to post a mix to go along with the best records of 2007 comic but decided it would be more fun if I sent them to you. Anthony moved out and left a big box of envelopes so that's half the battle right? So send me your address and I'll send you a mix.
Second order of business (notice we did not call roll but the meeting has in fact started) I have another piece I need to submit to the zine but haven't started yet. (sorry Vanessa) I am currently at a loss as to what to say or how so, I need your help. My task is to draw my interpretation of the Zine's mission statement reproduced for you below:
"this is not a cultural wasteland –So to recap if you want a mix give me your address. If you want my everlasting love and admiration help with some ideas for this thing. That is all.
there is too much focus placed on meaningless bullshit these days – people are consumed by it – there is too much sitting around and doing the same old thing – don’t waste your time – do something different – meet new people – find new interests – put yourself in different situations – make good use of what little time you have – there is some cool shit being done by some cool people – the revolution has been fully lubricated and has commenced – this zine is a platform – for whatever you want – music, art, writing, anything and everything – read a book – check out a band – go to an art gallery – submit something for the zine – be as involved as you want – just see all the worthwhile things going on around you and stop wasting your time on the bullshit –
¡viva la revoluciõn!"

Anthony's nipple exploded?
To be clear, that is my son is his underwear, not me.
Dear Bill,
"Dreams about Studs Terkel" owns. This update was soooo good....thanks.
In other news, the mission statement is so ham-fisted, it smells like Christmas. So I would go the subtle route in drawing something for it. What does revolution mean to you? To me, just doing "something different" isn't good enough. Fucking a bag of wet feathers sure is different, but what the hell does it mean? Anyone can squirt out any heap of shit and call it art, so that ain't gonna cut it either. It has to be representative of a deeper value, something more meaningful.
I'd skip trying to coax out something monumental, and stick to what you do best--to quote Vaneigem, the revolution is indeed everyday life, and you draw that well. Just my two cents.
OOOO,
Dan
Another great batch, Bill.
"I hear you live in my neighborhood now." Your Grandpa was getting all existential on your ass.
If you have an extra mix laying around, drop it off at Maxdon's, I'll probably be rolling in there one of these weekends.
Best,
Steve
Whups. I said "grandpa" I meant "grandma." Now it's all awkward.
These are wonderful. I miss seeing them in their non digital form, but at least I get to see them, right?
p.s. your fonz is perfect.
Hi, I've been looking at your comics for a few months. They just get better and better.
The mission statement gives me the image of all the TV's lined up at circuit city. Different sizes and shapes but the exact same picture and sound on each. Don't know if that helps.
Playing with Legos and peeping in the movies on the same day walks a slippery slope.
I hope for more updates so I can figure out whether the cat is a regular cat or a bipedal super-cat that drinks socially.
all i know is what you DID draw up for the zine fucking kicks ass. as you are kick ass. and that is what is the cherry on top. not are you only a talented artist. but you are a good soul. i have yet to meet you (t-2 weeks), but i know you are just a good solid individual from interaction we have had. and that is the beauty that i am finding with the first edition of the zine coming to its final completion - that i have made FRIENDS, not fucking acquaintances with every single contributer. and that is what the soul of LUBRICATED is. that there are GOOD people doing GOOD things. and that is what makes LUBRICATED successful (at least in my mind) ... or maybe i drank to much and am blinded by the whiskey, but for once this "something" is helping make sense of everything else that has never made much sense to me ....
