Darrell Kinsel Interview
By Andy McNeil, Assistant Editor
Vibrant child-like paintings of colorful crayon meadows and wax mountains cover the walls of Calli’s restaurant in Pittsburgh. Despite the country themes and elementary appearance, these works of art were not created by some rural rascal. These are the doing of a 26-year-old city slicker who slightly resembles a thin Mr. T - without the jewelry obsession and affinity for punching people’s lights out.

This month’s slime!
Greetings ghouls and ghoulettes! And welcome to this month’s upchuck of Ectoplasmic Meltdown! Despite the fact that classes are back in session (most non excellent), I’ve been busy at work in my cellar putting together some new monsterpieces for all you sick little gore goblins….I’m going to show you some finished products, and a couple platters of splatter that have been in the works for a decent amount of time now. Also, as a special treat (because it does just happen to be the month of my favorite holiday >:] I think you can ... 
You’re only as good as the company you keep. Surround yourself with books and you’ll most likely do well in school. Surround yourself with whores and you’ll most likely get herpes. The “company” you keep could be friends, movies, music, hang out spots, etc. So if you hang out under a bridge with a bunch of junkies there’s a good chance your company ain’t that good.

I’m always Right (Sided)
Bi-weekly/First Edition.
By Independent Ink Artists Prof. Lauren & Joseph Baker
“If you’d have half a brain, you might get somewhere in life.” A phrase that I’ve heard more times than I can remember. The fact is, I do have half a brain. That’s right, only half. The good half - the right half. Good old 1 ½ pounds situated on the right side of my skull, filled with spaced out thoughts and visuals of the unimaginable philosophies and dreams - unfathomable even to myself at times. The right side of the brain is responsible for the music we’re so passionate about, the ink in our skin, and our favorite movies. Needless to say, the “right ...
