WFMU LCD

By Mark Kaufman
I found out a while ago that some of the work I did for radio station WFMU back in the 1980’s will be part of a new book to be published by Princeton Architectural Press. The work in question was produced for the radio station’s now defunct magazine/program guide LCD (Lowest Common Denominator). Here is an example of my work back in the day. While the same cynical world view is on display, stylistically the work has changed a great deal. I think for the better, but that comes with age and a willingness to keep trying new things. I still like this piece, some of the others if they make it into the book are pretty raw, and frankly pretty embarrassing, but it is an honor to be included in the book. LCD had quite a roster of great illustrators, cartoonists and writers over the years, so I’ll be in fine company. Check this list of contributors; Danny Hellman, Mary Fleener, Domenic Priore, Andy Breckman, Seth Tobocman, Kaz, Wayno, Drew Friedman, Josh Alan Friedman, Dennis Worden, Ward Sutton, Jonathan Rosen, Mark Newgarden, Carol Moiseiwitsch, David Sandlin, and the list goes on. Fine company indeed. I’ll let you know when the book is published. Big thanks to Dave "the Spazz" Abramson for including me in this tome.
