She's done! Looks way better in print, but I've got the digital flipbook version linked in my blog. If you read it, I'd love it if you left a comment afterward.

"Paradise Lost: Sarasota, Florida Hardcore & Punk Scene 1980s-1990s" is an interview zine about memory and subculture in the face of urban renewal. 68 pages, color cover, b&w interior.

Photo of my hand holding a copy of a zine. It is half-letter size and the cover is in color. The background is a colorful abstract expressionist painting by Sarasota artist Syd Solomon, using different tones of blue, yellow, pink, green and red. The title "Paradise Lost" is at the top in black sharpie, outlined. The words "Sarasota, Florida, hardcore & punk scene, 1980s-1990s" is in white handwriting on top of black & white digitally cut & pasted palm trees. A black and white cut-out photo of the Sarasota-Bradenton band BP is below. Above their heads are the handwritten words "As told through interviews."

#Skateboarding was the beginning of everything. In my new zine #ParadiseLost, interviewees describe how the hardcore #punk scene in Sarasota started with skaters and surfers. Jake Loomis, now a high school teacher and potter, pictured below as a teen, describes how he went from breakdancing to skating and then found punk. Skateboarding #magazines, particularly “Action Now” and “Thrasher” were how many of them learned about punk/hc music. Comment if you can relate! Http://shotgunseamstress.blogspot.com

A grainy black-and-white photo of a boy performing a hand plant with a skateboard. Text overlays state, "Breakdancing isn't cool anymore." and "You gotta SKATE!" The background features palm trees and a suburban setting.
