The 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.

At the Denver Zine Fest, I will feature Issues 2 of Nick’s Liquors. Issue 2 is a 4-color print that includes gold flaking. Through commercial art, I illustrate my adventures and the overlooked visual appeal of Nick’s. Each zine purchase will come with a hand printed tote bag.
