Shawn Granton replied to Emma Jane Falconer's discussion Zines named after songs"No fancy videos, sorry.
But I named a few of my comix after songs. "Left of the Dial" (2000) and "Treatment Bound" (2002) were both named after Replacements songs. My compilation "Modern Industry" (2000-1) was named…"
Shawn Granton replied to ramsey everydaypants's discussion Chicago-based Zines"Comix Revolution in Evanston sells comics, mini-comix, and zines. It's not in Chicago proper, but it's pretty durn close to the Purple Line "L" (Davis station):
Comix Revolution

Shawn Granton replied to James N. Dawson's discussion The Big, Inclusive, Zine-Review Zine---How to Revive It?"I like Xerography Debt, can't wait for the next Zine World, and (sometimes) pine for the days of Factsheet 5. And like James and others, I'd like to see more zine-review-zines.
But there's something else I miss that I feel should…"
Shawn Granton replied to Derek Neuland's discussion Is Slug and Lettuce still around?"Last I heard, Slug and Lettuce was on hiatus because Chris Boarts-Larson (editor) had a baby. The last one that came out (if I remember correctly) was late 2006, where Chris announced it. Love to see a new issue!"

As for your parents reaction, you're the best judge as to how they might handle your involvement with zines and getting stuff through the mail. If they're the type that are overly worried by…"
Shawn Granton replied to Amy's discussion PO Box"And that's the slippery slope. Do your parents know what a zine is, and the fact that you do one? Are they cool with it?
If they're not, having a PO Box may mean that they don't find out about what you're doing.
If they are…"
Shawn Granton replied to Amy's discussion PO Box"If you use a pen name or give yourself a "punk rock" last name they're less likely to find you that way. And using a P O Box would make an even bigger disconnect, if you're worried about people finding you."
Profile Information
Haling from the diminutive State Of Connecticut and now a Citizen of Portland, Oregon, Cascadia, I am currently a "freelance artist" (aka penniless bohemian that occasionally draws.) But don't worry, I have a day job that pays the bills. When you are staying at the HI-Portland Hawthorne Hostel if you ever come to Portland (and why the hell would you ever visit Portland?) make sure you say "hi".
I've been drawing the mini-comic TEN FOOT RULE in some form or another since 1996 (though the first issue didn't come out until summer of 1997), so I guess that makes me "old-school". I also put out the comic anthology MODERN INDUSTRY (2000-1), edit the ZINESTER'S GUIDE TO PORTLAND, put out local Portland history/geography zines under the banner of URBAN ADVENTURE LEAGUE, and have contributed comics, illustrations, and writings to a multitude of zines and independent publications over the years. You can check out my regular bi-monthly comic for MOMENTUM MAGAZINE, a cool free magazine documenting bicycle culture around the world. I also do a crapload of flyers and illustrations for various projects in Portland and around the world. And I have been a staffer at the INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING RESOURCE CENTER (IPRC) since 2001.
I like riding my bike aimlessly around the city, bike touring, learning about urban environment, eating burritos, and drinking way too much coffee. I'm REALLY in to community-oriented collaborative type projects. And despite what you may have heard, I don't bite.
You can check out my artwork on my sito page.
Oh yeah, I love zines! And I like trading! And I love actual letters more so than emails and "comment walls". So if you are so inclined, write:

New Comics! And Zines!

Hey y'all, sometimes I'm so bad at self promotion that I forget to tell people that I have new stuff! So here's the latest:
NOBODY USES AN UMBRELLA IN PORTLAND: Yet another installment in my series of journal-comix, this one documents my life in the Winter of 2009. Work stuff, travelling (Cali! Canada!) and even a bit o' romance. It's $2 POST-PAID.
CYCLE TOURING PRIMER: This is a guide for those who are curious about, or are intending to do a self-supported bicycle tour.… Continue

I'm not offering you my next zine because it's all in french, and it's kind of annoying to get a zine you cant read, but I'll send you my next english-language issue (probably The Happy Loner #4 in January) :D
