At Chicago Printers Guild Publishers Fair a few weeks ago, Kent J. Henderson of Depression Press took this Polaroid of me holding Bunworld 2. The other half of Depression Press, Dud Lawson, had me record the outro for the Halftone Radio Supershow. It will air on Lumpen Radio today at 6pm CST.

My contributor copies of Bernadette Magazine 2 arrived in the mail this week! I'll have one copy available at Staple + Stitch this weekend, alongside my debut mini comic, The GOK Specials.

In the glow of the Chicago Cultural Center’s Tiffany glass dome, a Halftone Radio Super Show @flyingdonutpress laughs mid-sentence, microphone in hand, as another interviewer wearing headphones extends a recorder toward her. The broadcast table is set up among the ornate chandeliers and carved details of Preston Bradley Hall, surrounded by the hum of the Publishers Fair 2025.
