Marcel Gonzales is an artist originally from San Antonio, Texas but is currently residing in a rural area about an hour from the nearest city. He is employed by the local Dairy Queen by day, and by night, he transforms into a writer and illustrator of comics, poetry, illustration, and zines! His art has always centered on themes of healing, but has recently taken a more ghostly approach to storytelling, and is including themes of life, death, and everything in between. He is most proud of his book "Hole in the Ground" which holds a comic of a young man who becomes trapped in a wishing well under the floorboards of his room, and an intertwining short story about a young ghost girl who emerged from an underground cellar, and is trapped on Earth. Marcel treats his creative work as a "healing-diary", and hopes that by sharing it, he can help to heal the world.
Lucas Coeruleus (Cambridge, MA)
Q: [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]?
A: No, never. Could be a limitation of programming.
Q: [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][], [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]?
A: No, I wouldn't call it compensatory, it's just that the forms are similar. You know--they're made of mostly borrowed images (or sounds, in the case of the tapes), often nonlinear, not always easy to translate--they might have some connection to memory consolidation, but if so it's not one that we understand well.
Q: [][][][][][][][][][][]? [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][].
A: Oh god, is this technically a perzine? Do I make perzines? Gross.
