“An artist does not create what he sees, but what he is,” declares Kevin Rossi in his excellent work of art/example of zine heaven. Kevin is certainly King of Drawings of Attractive and Fashionable Women. His alluring drawings combined with oftentimes highly personal text make for a very interesting zine. The Four Sisters of Fashion (Defiance, Affectation, Panache and Anorexia) centerfold was some kind of Charlie’s Angels meet 90’s fashion runway. I found the page “You pretend to be the moon/ Infinitely far away” particularly compelling. Not that I don’t like text art and collage of this form, but some of the characters in here are so compelling that Kevin could make an entire comic based on them. I would gladly sit back with a cup of coffee, and lap up page after page after page… (EPW)
