SHIP SHIPPING

shipping rates have gone up!
especially international shipping
international shipping is now bananas!
from what i can tell its more than doubled!!
(it doubled 6 or 7 years ago)
i'm keeping an eye on it and will lower it if i can

as far as usa shipping
i raised it by a buck

what you should know:

- $4.00 usa

- $30.00 everywhere else

- the shipping rate is the same if you're ordering 1 or 30 different items

- 95% of the time i use recycled envelops that i reinforce which is the big reason for my usa shipping being so cheap, that and i typically ship things media mail

here's a drawing by joey ramone
may it be a light for you in dark places,
when all other lights go out

FACE MAN 
by Clara Bessijelle

$5.00


A theater critic attends an incomprehensible play. Forced to write about the it, he finds he can't remember a single detail. He attempts to ask the box office clerk to summarize the plot but instead she misunderstands him and the critic finds himself forced to view the performance a second time. While sitting in the theater, a man begins to follow him, always one step away. Slowly the critic becomes entangled with events that will force him to question his 'identity'---a problem that sets him onto a collision course with the powerful Identity Group. Face Man is a stand alone work, full of strange power.
