The Famous Internet Artist (250x250).jpgThe Famous Internet Artist
Paul Echeverria – Danbury, CT

The Famous Internet Artist: Regina is a work of e-literature documenting the interactions between the artist alias Tony Jones and an entity of unknown origins, Regina. The work examines the demarcation between flux persona and faux persona. As both aliases communicate with each other, the margins between fiction and reality are incessantly blurred. Tony, authored by Paul Echeverria, offers the promise of collaboration, fame, and creative expression. Regina, composed by an anonymous author, seeks friendship, love, and travel funds.

Obfuscated beneath each character’s attempts at persuasion, these textual messages provide insight into the casual materialization of the digital flux persona. Furthermore, they provide a conceptual framework for the ongoing experiments in human persona. As a consequence, readers are encouraged to consider the authenticity of their own relations within a complex panorama of digital identity.

Uncommon Futures (250x94).jpgUncommon Futures
Denver, CO

Uncommon Futures is a zine made up of real-life stories, profiles, sketches, and poems. Since a lot of people are not heard, and sometimes poetry and art say just as much as writing, we strive to give people any outlet they want. We enjoy covering the everyday, the fantastic, and the just plain interesting!

Matt Wayman – Denver, CO

The belief behind starting the zine aka “Word.” is that comedians are just writers that perform our own material and we need a place to showcase all the other material we produce. Word includes articles, short stories, recipes, paintings, reviews, comics, and interviews. This zine strives to show Denver and beyond how creative this comedy scene is and why we are producing so many national talents!!!
