So I’ve been hearing a lot that people would like to buy one of my original pieces but they can’t afford one, which I definitely understand since I also am not officially employed at the moment. I realized that while people don’t have money they often have stuff that they don’t use anymore that I want and so I published this list. it’s a rough guide to things I currently want and would be willing to trade original art for. I’m also open to all offers if you think you have something I might want. to begin trade negotiations either message me thru tumblr or email me at willlaren@yahoo.com. I will not be insulted by any offer! I may not accept the offer but you shouldn’t be afraid to try and make one!

LETS PUT ART BACK IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE YA’LL!!!!!

10.silkscreening inks (especially glow in the dark or neon colors)

11. colored pencils

12. any volumes of Leji Matsumoto’s “Galaxy Express 999” comic beyond volumes 1-3

this is probably the realest zine I’ve ever dropped. I’ve already printed all the pages I just need to silkscreen one more layer for the cover than fold and staple all of it and it’ll be done. seriously you fools aren’t ready for this it’s gonna be a problem. stock up on flashlight batteries and canned meats.

I know this will infuriate the white community, but not only did it take years for me to find out that this was a Mountain Goats song, I’ll also always consider this the better version.

I have confirmed that Atomic Books has sent out my issues of Tat Squad that I left with them from SPX. should be here in a couple days. watch out for it on my bigcartel site as there are only about 30 copies of this entirely silkscreened zine left and then that’s it. I’m selling the damn thing for $6! that’s $1 a print! this damn recession has got me pricin’ reckless! if you want to make sure you’re notified when it’s available email me at willlaren@yahoo.com and I’ll put your name on an email list to be notified when the zines are up!
