The White Buffalo Gazette was originally an obscuro comix & art newsletter
/ zine that grew into an anthology of U.S underground artists and a few outsiders,
myself included. Now it's back after a 13 year hiatus as a beautifully glossy
publication with over a hundred contibutors and I'm one of them. Although
I was sent a copy I've no details of where you can puchase it. Catch it if

For the last few months
I've been working on a series of autobiographical stories that have have been
published in a couple of U.S. zines (Not
My Small Diary and Satyr).
The stories are set around 25 years ago and I've included some places that were
important to me at the time and that are no longer around. The current story
that I'm working on (Mr. Hurdy Gurdy Man) is set around Hereford Road in Bayswater.
At that time I used to frequent a cafe called 'The New Born' in Bayswater, London.
Working from an old photograph, I decided to send a copy to the excellent blog
eggbaconchipsandbeans
hosted by Russell M Davies.
To read my memories of the New Born click here.
Russell's site makes superb reading and is well worth checking out.

Earlier this year during my my trip to Japan
I tracked down Russell Willis who I met in 1985 and now lives in Tokyo. Russell

most notably 'Infinity' and 'The Alternative Headmasters Bulletrin'. I caught
up with Russell in Tokyo where we talked about his involvement with the underground
comics scene two and a half decades ago. You can read my interview with him

The Flick

UK indie publisher Adam Grose, who runs Clown
Press, is working on a charity comic in aid of the Red Cross, to raise money
for flood victims the world over.Although initially prompted by floods in
the UK during the summer, floods in other parts of the world continue to cause
misery four thousands of people, and Adam was moved to try and inspire the
comics community to create a collection of one page strips and raise funds
for flood relief. I've already contributed a strip written nb John Freeman
of ROK comics. I am also in the process of gaining permission from CBS records
for permission to use the lyrics for Bob Dylan's song 'Down In The Flood'
for a comic strip. I may not have time to actually illustrate this but if
anyone out there would like to have a go drop me a line
