25 Years in the Making
It is no exaggeration to say that these zines have been 25 years in the making. After I graduated from art school in the ‘90s it was my dream to publish my own books. And every day since those formative years I have been drawing in my sketchbooks trying to make that dream come true. Obviously, it would have been nice if they had come together a little quicker! But like a good scotch, the drawings (and the stories they tell) needed time to mature.
No. 1 / HECK YEAH!
“Who am I?” In my sketchbooks I search for meaning. Anecdotal musings of the past, present, and speculative future. Episodic stories that blur fact and fiction through an assembly of anxieties, real and imagined. Illustrated with copious amounts of flaming skulls and unfleshed symbolism. 46 pages / black and white.
No. 2 / SMC 80
On the cover: SMC 80 / A Social Media Computer
An early example, circa 1980, of a human subjugation device.
Based on theories of “Uncritical Thinking” this zine explores how the contextual nature of intent influences the evolution of experiential dissemination.
Or something like that. 42 pages / full color.
No 3 / THE LITTLE COYOTE
A sketchbook story for young readers.
The Little Coyote Cannot Wait is a picture book about the rough and tumble experiences of boyhood. Drawn in a raw and unvarnished sketchbook style, the old school action and storytelling of this children’s zine draws on the imperfect adventures of growing up. Ages 5-8 / 34 pages / full color.
No 4 / RENDER DEATH
| ˈrendər deTH| noun
1/ The action of overworking or overdrawing an image based on the critical view that it will be made better with increased or additional effort.
2/ A physical condition where chronic pain and discomfort results from extended concentration and long intervals of worrying about a drawing.
3/ An '80s metal band known for having great hair.
4/ A zine about drawing. 46 pages / two color.
What is a zine?
I do not have a clear answer, which is what I love about making them. For me, these launch titles have been: (1) a speculative fiction, (2) a logic experiment, (3) an adventure, and (4) an academic lesson plan. The first issue is short stories, the second issue is something I am calling “Uncritical Theory”, issue three is a kids book from a boy’s perspective, and number four is my thoughts and feelings on the art of drawing.
And who is Wronghand?
Inspired by chronic left handedness, my idiosyncratic nature, and Gen X imperfection; Wronghand is a self published book series culled from the innumerable sketchbooks of artist, writer, and art school teacher Mike Kerr.
I will be announcing availability soon!
