About Me

from thievesjargon.com :
Eric Jones is a charlatan. His codswallop has appeared in such odious hardscrabble publications as “Or-else” and “The Damned Human Race”. The now appropriately defunct band “Small Girl Boils Water” adapted his wretched “America into the 21st Century” for a rotten song on their lousy self-titled album. He is also a passable visual artist with such dubious credits as the road sign for Little Laurel Preschool and the awful cover illustration for the deplorable "Kittens in the Boiler" . He lives in seedy Lowell, Massachusetts where he glares at children from his window.
