Welcome to the new Negative Capability, a paper zine where narcissism meets misanthropy. This zine is what used to be called a "perzine" or "personal zine," meaning that all of the content, pictures and design are the work of one person, me. It also is used to refer to the fact that the stories, essays, fiction, photography and ideas are from me and about me. You might think that sounds like a blog, but the main differences are that this is a printed medium adapated to the web, not the other way around, and this doesn't suck, like most blogs do. So, don't think of this as a funny web site, think of this as the web complement to a funny printed zine. I know print is dying on the vine, but I have always been known to buck the trends and fuck the friends, if you know what I mean.
If you've never been here before, you should probably start with the Manifesto from #1. If you are an old fan, you should probably go right to a hidden page which is a gallery of lovely tit shows.
There is a new issue coming, Negative Capability #5, which I have been planning since the very start to be the very special "nice" issue, even if it didn't quite work out that way. It is 98% done and then I'll give it a hard proof and then get it printed. Before that happens, I am going to be doing some fundraising to pay for the print job with a new site called Kickstarter. Basically you tell the world about your project and ask friends, fans, family and strangers to contribute. In return, all supporters will receive a printed copy of the finished product but the more you give, the better premium you get. Premiums will include such things as back issues, copies of my DVDs and CDs and even the original film used to print the first issue, which is like an animation cel. There are only 48 of them in the world and each is a one-of-a-kind. Once I finish my promo video, it will be embedded on this site as well as links to Kickstarter so you can contribute. You can help me now by sharing this site with your friends using the little widget to the left and I really do appreciate every little thing that anyone does to help me spread the word about this zine.
The Kickstarter video is fantastic and it will premiere on this web site very shortly. If you are seeing this message, come back soon to see the video. I am trying to raise all the money I need to print the zine and you can help!
I have been steadily adding new content to this site, especially the back issues, but it has all been cleaned up and reformatted from the old version of the site to make it more readable. I need to fix some of the references and replace the links but I think it's more important to just publish the content.
