BEND PRESS

BEND PRESS The Smallest Publishing Company; Bend Press. Quietly Buzzing Since 1986. It quickly morphed into Bend Zine #1 (when Factory evaporated). Content?

The seeds of Bend were planted in 1986 when I published his my xeroxed zine, Rip... basically a promo zine for my band Factory. Skateboarding, punk-rock, noise and general nonsense. By 1989 Bend was creeping into a new phase with slicker issues and a much broader selection of content. To keep it short, it became Bend Press in 1994 when I published the first book. As of today there are been 24 issues or, what I like to call "projects."

Yeah, they hold tomatoes. The Wrench Pilot mugs are versatile and simple to use - with the correct supervision, of course. Just follow the directions. They work for liquids (bourbon, coffee, etc), or solids (pencils, chop sticks etc). Link in profile.
