More self-expression obsession coming at you: in-depth
interviews with 12 more unusual publishers. From a 15-year-old suburbanite

self-publisher of art books (in the original meaning of the word), to the
dishwasher whose goal it is to wash dishes in every state of the U.S.A. Also, a
history of proletarian novels, zine reviews and much, much more. Read all about
it in Zines! Vol. 2!

Person
Johnny Brewton, interviewee:
Johnny Brewton produces X-RAY, a publication which
must be seen and touched to be fully appreciated. It features different colored
papers, inserts, found photographs, color xeroxes and objects such as
matchbooks and Chinese fortunes--each issue is a hand-produced artwork, with no
two copies exactly alike.
Growing up in Ventura, California, Johnny got involved in
the Los Angeles punk rock scene at the age of fourteen. A decade ago, he helped
produce a zine, Sixty Miles North, and then published Kandykorn
Jackhammer, all the while playing bass and drums in bands such as M.I.A.,
Missiles of October, the Screaming Things, Frankenstein and Big Biscuit
Express. He has a small collection of early punk records, sixties Mexican
punk/garage band recordings, and odd jazz, jug band and unclassifiable vinyl.
As a hobby he plays the ukulele and musical saw. In his wanderings, Johnny is
always on the alert for found materials to incorporate in his outstanding and
amazing X-RAY...
