interpersonal relationships

A collection of short, original comics about the loves of the author's life.

Personal essays and original photography by the author and others.

A creatively designed zine in a Lays(R) potato chip bag. Each of the "chips" is a chip-shaped cut of yellow construction paper with an thought or story describing the author's relationship with Dave.

Through a series of poems, short narratives and collages the author attempts to share a fairly complicated tapestry of emotions and mental states.

Ramblings of inconsistent length that explore the author's relationships, mostly romantic, and what he has or hasn't learned from them. Peppered with illustrations.

From the zine: "This is a zine all about a part of every person's life--love, like, & lust. It ranges from poems to pics and non-fiction or completely fictional short stories. No, it's not another dating advice magaazine which you could easily buy at your local drugstore (though you're welcome to send in questions.) This zine is a way to express anything you want dealing with the triple L's. Please enjoy!

from page 3: "This zine is part of a larger project in my attempts to "deal" with intimacy. Not very warm and fuzzy--computers + post-its, but they're the place I start. I've been both building up to and avoiding writing this for years now. Let me know if you sense where it's going. I'm just figuring it out."

This zine details the author's personal relationships and other gender issues. His difficulties in relationships are detailed along with his being ostracized from the Portland Zine Symposium based on allegations of sexual misconduct with several women. Communication between the sexes is discussed as well as objectification and semantics.

This perzine focuses on the author's friendships, a recent break-up, and personal essays/philosophies, expressed in a series of collages, blurbs and quips.
