Where is the underground?

I'm on a quest for the underground writers. I was on a 4 year hiatus of writing letters and completing my first book (more to come) and I have not been keeping up with Not Enough Liquor in the Universe. Are people still writing mini comics? Are people still creating even if it is just for an audience you can count with one hand?

I was in Chicago 2-3 years ago for the Chicago Alternative Komix Expo (CAKE) with bundles of my 4 issue mini comic "Tormentor Comics" (yes, there are a total of 4 issues (I've neglected this blog)) in hopes connecting with other creators, but was unsuccessful. I'm going to say it is 60/40 me versus the people who are creating.

I'm going to keep looking for the new, exciting, and homemade. I'll be sure to share what I find and I hope you do the same.

Return of the Writer!

I have returned and I bring fresh works! Below is the first issue of "NAY mm Hie May-gwok Yan" Created in 2014 it is 14 pages of poems accented with comics and rough housed illustrations. I can't remember if these were ever distributed, but I have a few copies available. Email me for details. I love mailing stuff.

Cover: Pen and Sharpie on copy paper. Whoa!   

                                           

    Self portrait of the creator. Note the shoulder hair.

                           

 

                                             How poetic! Like *snap* *snap* *snap* *snap*
