Damn Griph, where did you dig that up? That was one of two covers that I drew myself. Other artists included

Tom Bagley (Forbidden Dimension)
Gareth Gaudin (of Legends comics, Magic Teeth fame)
Mike Rousseau (of the band TIM)
Mr. Chi Pig (SNFU)
and a few others that the names are escaping me...

I've been meaning to make PDF's of all of them and put the zines up online. Those were good times. - Sat, 31 Mar 2007 4:11pm

Actually you can blame Gym from Laying Waste for those. Actually I plan to scan them all in to PDF, so let me know if you want copies of the PDFs. I grabbed:

Mystery Meat Issues #2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (the numbered issue), 7, 8
Coercion #4, 5, 7, 8

As well as Zines I had already: Holy Shit Issue #3, Youth Plague #4, 5, 6, 8 (the zine (cover) which appeared in that Black Flag book)).

I wanted to see if LiveVictoria would be into hosting the PDFs, as my Shaw webspace is tiny. - Sat, 31 Mar 2007 5:11pm Edited: Sat, 31 Mar 2007 5:15pm

Griphin. Sign up to something like http://www.mydatabus.com which allows about 5GB of free space. If you have more than one email address you can have more than one account....

5GB will host a fair bit - Sat, 31 Mar 2007 8:16pm

The correct color to Mystery Meat Issue #4 (I also cleaned up the front cover a bit), slowly but surely I'll get thru these. Sigh, I have no life. :( - Sun, 1 Apr 2007 2:30am Edited: Sun, 1 Apr 2007 2:33am

I remember coming across the Issue of Mystery Meat with the Bagley art when I was passing through Victoria in summer '97. I always meant to get ahold of the guys who did it to trade zines (I did a mag called Dragsville in the 90's). I didn't realize until a few moths ago that it was Ty who did the mag. I gotta get ahold of some of the other issues! - Mon, 2 Apr 2007 7:50am

Mystery Meat Issue #5

As soon as the PDFs are done, I'm hoping to find somewhere to host all the zines I scanned in. I haven't heard from LiveVictoria in regards to getting them to host the magazines yet, it would be cool if they would store/host the magazines. A few more zines to scan in, then I start work on the Coercion zines.

Thanks for all of that Phil, I haven't recieved the PDFs that you emailed me yet.

As for posting them online, I'd like to hold off on the Mystery Meat stuff until I can do a proper website for them. Cool?

@TDepression: I think I still have copies of most of the issues boxed up somewhere.

Wow, seeing those covers sure brings back a lot of memories! I had those zines years before I actually met Tyler! One zine I wish I had saved my collection of is Geezus from Vancouver, twisted sense of humour! - Mon, 2 Apr 2007 3:46pm

Say, how many issues came out?!? Issue #5 was an awesome fanzine, and I really enjoyed scanning it in. Adobe does something strange, when I scan in a darker page (eg. photo page) some of the time it will reverse the colors. I found that the solution was to move up those pages to 8-bit (from 1-bit B&W). Nice to hear people are interested in the zines, so Ty, where do I send you the PDFs?!? (I'll also include the source graphics for you as I meant to keep the source images rather then delete them.)

BTW: One of the issues should be in your mailbox. I think Shaw allows up to 20 megs in your mailbox. - Mon, 2 Apr 2007 11:54pm Edited: Mon, 2 Apr 2007 11:56pm
