ART TALK: Dima Drjuchin
One of our favorite Antagonist artists had a show at the Cotton Candy Machine back in August. We had a chat with him about it on opening night! Cute kids make appearances, and there is some pretty rad art as well. And maybe a bicycle crash. I dunno, you have to watch.

Sadly, the show is now over, but you can still find Dima's stuff on his website!

ACTION ASSASSINS PART 2
Ethan was a weird kid.
This was filmed on a Betamovie Sony BMC-100, in Gloverpark, Washington DC in 1985. He was 15 years old.
There was no one else in the house. There was no one else helping him film.
Think about that next time you are bored looking at your phone, assholes.
Also, note for the FBI: this was a film made by a nerdy kid, 30 years ago. Don't be dumb. Don't try to arrest people, it is not real.

The Antagonist Press: West Coast
Back in October, I (Marissa) and my husband (Matt) moved
from NYC to Seattle. So, of course, Ethan immediately sends us off to sell
ourselves (Psycho Moto) at zine
shows. Just kidding Ethan, we enjoy it!
So far we have shown at the Bellingham Comics Arts Festival
(BellCAF) and the APRIL Book Expo. These were vastly different and it was a
great opportunity for us to get our feet wet in the zine show culture. While we
didn’t sell very much merchandise at either show, people showed great interest
in all of it (the zines, kid’s zines, novels, DVDs, etc) and were very
welcoming when they found out we were new to the area.
BellCAF, as its name states, was very much aimed at the
comic aspect of zines, and I think because of that, we were standing a bit on
the outside. There were some folks who appreciated the literature in Psycho Moto, but in the end, I think many
people were looking for a cohesive comic story line. The APRIL Book Expo was
almost the opposite experience. This was made up of small presses from around
the area, and it was predominantly literature-based. We thought we might have a
better time selling Rich Boy Cries for
Momma and Barstool Prophets here,
but while these are novels, we might have been just too new to the scene for
anyone to put much stock in our ability to tell a good story. We did get a good
trio of what I believe to be creative writing majors who took a good long look
at Barstool Prophets. I’m fairly
certain they were all laughing at the bartender Dos and Don’ts. I forgot how
funny that was.
However, my conclusion is not that we should never attend
these shows again—far from it actually. Zine culture appears to be pretty huge
out here, and many of the presses, individuals, and collectives have been
around the area for years; readers recognize the regulars. We cannot expect to
sell out the first show, and I think once we have shown our faces at all of
these regional events, people will begin to remember us. I know that I
personally was so used to having the Antagonist name recognized in NYC, I’ve
forgotten that, in Seattle, no one knows what the hell I’m talking about.
Our next show is the Portland Zine Symposium, which is
supposed to be huge and it lasts two days. Onwards to the Rose City!
