Chester Brown's autobiographical works such as
I Never Liked You (1.3 MB PDF) placed #38 on
The Comics Journal's
list of the 100 Best Comics of the 20th Century. In his new graphic novel,
Paying For It, he "calmly lays out the facts of how he became not only a willing participant in but also a vocal proponent of one of the world's most hot-button topics--
prostitution".

Founded in Berkeley by artist
Jim Mason,
The Shipyard, a collaborative industrial arts space constructed from recycled shipping containers, has hosted numerous large-scale projects and events including a
Survival Research Labs show,
Power Tool Drag Races,
gassification experiments and workshops, and various large-scale Burning Man projects such as 2005's
Clockworks. Short documentary
here (quicktime). However, relations with the city of Berkeley have been consistently
tense. Recently, the city shut off the Shipyard's power, to which the Shipyard responded by going
off grid. On May 8, Berkeley issued 3-day vacate and abate notice, with which the Shipyard is
attempting to
comply (auto-playing video).
