A good point well made by the late, great, one-man production line Mark Pawson.

Read more books, rage against the machine - and have a good week, everyone. Onwards!

RIP Mark Pawson Very sad to hear of the passing of **Mark Pawson** today. A unique figure on the counter cultural art and publishing scene who I would regularly see at zine fairs and the like. His was always the most interesting stall with the most bizarre underground books and comics from all over the world. I’d end up buying some beautifully screen printed French comics from him, the likes of which you’d never see anywhere else and would never see again if you didn’t buy them there and then. I first got to know Mark in the early 90s when he was around on the scene when I worked at **Ambient Soho** , he was the badge man who would make all sorts of badges for the shop, and our **Telepathic Fish** parties. I still have a load of badges he made using my **Openmind** logo and was going to get him to make more this summer for the release of a record. He’d sell artbooks and badges he made of his own work using photocopiers and also made badges featuring **Negativland** and **Bob Dobbs**. His classic ‘Mark’s Little Book of Kinder Eggs’ and book of plugs were always in print and I think the ‘Assume This Phone Is Tapped’ sticker was also one of his. It’s shocking to know he’s gone, a truly one of a kind figure. I’m sad I won’t bump into him at the fairs any more. RIP Mark
