SEAN AABERG, PORK, GOBLINKO, PORKLAND SCENE REPORT.

I'M STOKED THERE'S SOME NEW AIR BEING BLOWN OUT OF THE DUCK EATING BOWELS OF THIS BLOG. I TRIED TO QUIT THIS BLOG YEARS AGO, BUT WAS TALKED INTO JOINING BACK UP & NOW I FEEL THAT EATEN BY DUCKS WILL WADDLE ALONG AS LONG AS THIS PARTICULAR BLOG FORMAT DOES. I THOUGHT I'D GIVE YOU AN UPDATE & A SCENE REPORT. ANYHOW, HELLO, I'M SEAN AABERG, EDITOR OF PORK MAGAZINE. I'M AN ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTOR TO EATEN BY DUCKS & NOW HAVE A WEIRDO ART MAGAZINE WITH A 35,000 ISSUE CIRCULATION. PORK IS ON ITS THIRD YEAR & IS JUST GETTING STRONGER. WE'RE CURRENTLY OPERATING OUT OF PORKLAND, OREGON WHICH IS GOING QUITE WELL. I JUST HELPED ORGANIZE & TABLED AT A NEW ART, DESIGN, COMICS & ILLUSTRATION SHOW HERE CALLED LINEWORK NW, WHICH FEATURED A GREAT SELECTION OF TALENT, MOST OF WHICH IS FROM THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THEY GOT JIM WOODRING & MICHAEL DEFORGE AS SPECIAL GUESTS. JIM WOODRING & HIS WIFE BOTH CAME UP TO ME TO SAY THEY WERE FANS OF PORK, WHICH WAS A GREAT WAY TO START THE EVENT. THE CRAZY ARTIST SKINNER WAS ALSO UP HERE DOING A CTHULHU MURAL ON OUR BUDDIE'S SIZZLE PIE'S EASTERN LOCATION.

HE GAVE ME & KATIE A MAGIC RICE CRISPIE TREAT & I WAS UNABLE TO DO MUCH FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. WE LIVE IN A FUNKY PART OF PORKLAND JUST OUTSIDE OF THE FOSTER/POWELL TRIANGLE WHICH IS HOME TO A HOST OF FUCKED UP CARTOONISTS: BOBBY MADNESS, TIM ROOT, TIM GOODYEAR, CHRIS CILLA, JACK SNAKEBOMB & ANDREW SCULLY ARE JUST THE ONES I KNOW ABOUT. MY NEIGHBORHOOD IS THE "ASIAN TOWN" OF PORTLAND WHERE LOTS OF CHINESE & VIETNAMESE PEOPLE LIVE, THERE ARE LOTS OF RUSSIANS & NO YUPPIES AS WELL. IT'S A COOL PLACE TO RAISE OUR THREE SONS, THEY JUST HAVE TO BEWARE OF SYRINGES & PIT BULLS. PORK/GOBLINKO HAS GROWN AT A METEORIC RATE, WE'VE GOT A LARGE MAIL-ORDER CALLED "THE PORK SHOP" THAT IS TAKING OVER OUR LIVES. WE'RE OPENING UP A PHYSICAL PORK SHOP IN A PUNK BOUTIQUE "NAKED CITY" THIS COMING WEEK, I'M BEYOND STOKED. TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO GO SEE SPLATTERTRHASHERS GHOUL WHO I JUST DID A RECORD COVER FOR.

AAAND, THAT'S ABOUT IT! I'M GONNA TRY & DO AN UPDATE ONCE A WEEK OR SOMETHING, WE'LL SEE, I'M GONNA GIVE IT MY BEST. WELCOME TO ALL THE NEW DUCK CHEWED BLOOD - & STICK TO YOUR GUNS, DRAW EVERY DAY, EAT YOUR VITAMINS.
