Negative Capability

A paper zine where narcissism meets misanthropy.

Here's the first review of the new issue, “A perzine by Jøsh Saitz that looks like a magazine; full size, slick cover, with professional quality graphics and layout. His prose is pristine, measured and precise. He writes very well when speaking in his own voice. His strong suit, aside from his design and publishing skills, is his clarity and honesty. Any idiot can rant, but those who can rant well are rare. Jøsh presents himself as a contemptuous asshole, but what I see is someone who is intelligent, articulate, opinionated, outspoken, self-absorbed, painfully honest, has a sick, irreverent sense of humor, and who does not suffer fools gracefully. I can't help but admire the guy, and you get a ridiculous amount of zine for your buck.” - Syndicated Zine Reviews

This zine is 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 adapted 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.

These prices are to addresses in the US only and include shipping. For a very limited time, I am including a copy of the soundtrack to my launch party for free with every order, or you can also purchase a package of PDFs of the new issue in full color for just $1, if you prefer to consume media on a computer or tablet. Additionally, if you purchase the new issue, you get 50% off all back issues, but act now because when I get down to the last 50 of each, they are going to go up in price.
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. 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.

The pulldown below will allow you buy the new issue, so go ahead and use PayPal to get your copy now. It's also available as a collection of 4 PDFs, hi-res and low-res, plus single pages and spreads.
