Checks it out! First issue of my Western Mass ME zine. I feel oddly, exactly the same. And oddly, that seems exactly right. It was a process and it did take a while. I'm glad I did it and have it to document this era. While making it, I wondered if it would be interesting to anyone, what I would learn, if my drawing would improve, if I will look back on it years from now and love it, laugh at it. Who knows. More coming. Copy done on next one and ideas for at least 4-6 more in mind. We'll see what happens. If I may, what I like about this issue is that everyone makes a million decisions every day. Everything says something about you, but you have no control over other people's interpretation. So why people sweating image? For example, it's not cool to eat at Joe's and it's not cool to not eat at Joe's. You just do or don't. You could be an asshole, you could be awesome. Maybe you ate at Joe's every Saturday night with your best friends in the mid 90's and now you eat at the Blue Bonnet Diner every Saturday night with your best friends. End of the day, they are all your decisions. Sometimes I'm busy, or lazy or tired or overwhelmed or rushing to work or only have $3. As long as it makes sense to me, I'm happy. I'm really mainly focused on trying to impress myself, and my husband, friends, colleagues and family. And that means I have to leave my comfort zone and do things that challenge me. And sometimes there's a mother fucking shitload on ya, and nobody knows it and you find your own way to get through it. And maybe that week you ate slices from Mimmo's 3 times and maybe, on that week, that was some righteous shit because you got done what you had to get done. Or maybe I was lazy.
