My name's KEK...(aka KID SHIRT) I'm a pro freelance writer; I write fiction and meta-fiction...I also write articles about Music and Film and Art and all sorts of shit, both professionally and otherwise. I write comic-strip scripts and prose fiction/short stories...SF, Fantasy, Horror, Wyrd, whatever...there's a bunch of paperback anthos featuring short stories by myself down in the Books sub-section. Please go check 'em. Please go buy 'em!
My short story "Blue Raspberries" was recently nominated for the Best Short Fiction 2007 category by the British Science Fiction Society.
And the anthology that contains it - ZENCORE! - was nominated for Best Anthology 2007 by The British Fantasy Society. Cool!
Meanwhile, there's a bunch of incoming stuff by me in anthos with late 2008/early 2009 droppage: incl. The Twisted Twins Calendar and Avant Garde for the New Millennium

Meanwhile, here's IBS in action:
"GOD BLESS NIKKI SUDDEN" by MADBAND, a new(ish) Yeovil-based Psych Collectiv who're destined for greatness, y'dig?
"VIC RISSOL" by VIC RISSOL: Rustic Abstract Hip-Hop; Surrealist Bling produced as a result of an arcane voice-jacking ritual involving Davy Jones of The Monkees. Life's slow in the West Country, so we have to find novel ways of amusing ourselves, uh-huh.
