Free Spirit News is a free, submission based, art and satire newsprint publication made in Portland Oregon. The newspaper contains no “news,” but rather a collection of comics, drawings, jokes, puzzles, poetry, gags, optical illusions, visionary doodles and other untethered expressions. The news of the spirit!
This hefty tome Realistic Future Nudes and Other Issues: A Free Spirit News Anthology 2012-2021 contains all fourteen issues, including photos, ephemera and other related nonsense. Published in collaboration with Floating World Comics and Container Corps Press, the book should make a wonderful coffee table book, door stop, and a supremely effective bathroom reader.
The Free Spirit News editorial staff includes Joshua Kermiet, Corey Lunn, Raf Spielman, Jeffrey Kriksciun and Eric W. Mast. Thanks to the grants that helped fund this project: The Andy Warhol Foundation (2014) and RACC Make Learn Build Grant (2021). Introduction by Eric Isaacson. Foreword by Ian Lynam. -Publisher
