I can't recall if I'd already mentioned this, but I'm organizing the creation of two more RISD zines for production at the end of the summer. Since we're adults with important things on our mind, the topics are "teeth" and "poop" respectively. I can't take credit for the topics themselves...but I can't say that I don't approve. Talk about relate-able subjects, right?

Anyway, here's my contribution to the teeth side of the equation. It's partially based on an unusually clear memory I have of wiggling loose a tooth in bed as a kid. I can still taste the blood and feel it in my hand. I wonder how much of this memory is constructed and how much of it actually occurred. I heard on radiolab, I think, that every time you revisit a memory in your thoughts, it loses some accuracy to the true event...until eventually it is just an abstracted collage of other ideas and events made to resemble the original memory.

But, oh, that kid isn't supposed to be me. Would I be so foolish?

Hopefully the other risdoids will start making their things in the coming month and I'll be able to link 'em here (with permission).

Embiggen em.
