KAORI MITSUSHIMA



Born in 1979 in Tokyo, Japan, Kaori has also lived in Berlin, Prague, and New York City. She currently lives in a small college town in Oberlin, Ohio, with her filmmaker husband - Mika Johnson - and their two cats: Pon Pon & Arais, the white cat (a.k.a. Rikun-Taro).
Kaori's paintings, illustrations, and sound collages are inspired by both the animals and plants around her and classical images from Japanese and Western art. After co-founding Arcanum Press with poet Peter Hlinka, the two artists collaborated on two zines, My Shadow is a Cat and Rose-Eaters, which juxtapose poetry with visual art. In the past year, she has joined two group shows in Tokyo where three of her pieces were exhibited. Kaori is also playing the lead role in AMERIKA: a notebook in three parts, an in-development feature film.

Beat Motel

Beat Motel is published every now and then, it’s meant to be quarterly but never is. Beat Motel is a ‘no stress’ publication, meaning we flat out refuse to get stressed over any aspect of the zine, and also refuse to succumb to any pressure levied on us by bands, labels, PR agents etc. Beat Motel has no specific agenda with regards to music, but we like to think our politics are pretty clear, basically ‘be excellent to each other, relax, and have fun’.


Beat Motel is kinda a punk zine but our musical tastes are pretty broad and a bunch of our writing has chuff all to do with either punk or music. We like laughing at childish rubbish but we also sometimes like being serious. We'll be using this webshite to give you information on each issue we put out and a bit of junk about our writers but that's about it. All the actual content will be in the printed zine. We like real zines and don't want this site to become a webzine, not that there's anything wrong with webzines, but hey, you can't read them on the crapper!

Carl Gunhouse





Carl Gunhouse was born in 1976 in Boston, Massachusetts, but he spent his formative years in suburban New Jersey. Growing up, he developed a love/hate relationship with suburbia that led to the angst familiar to most suburban youth. With this unrest came the discovery of the anger and DIY ethics of hardcore punk rock. Yearning to be part of the hardcore scene, he started photographing bands, which began his love of photography.

SALFORD ZINE LIBRARY NOW FILMING!!!


I am out an about this and next week with the help of Luca Rudlin and his camera expertise interviewing for the Salford Zine Library film. If you live in the north west, self publish/make zines and want to participate then please get in contact. If you live further afield then you can still participate by sending a short talking head video of your self explaining why you choose to self publish and what you self publish. 

Videos have been coming in from across the world and I thank all those who have contributed so far. One consideration when making the videos is sound.Your voice needs to come across clearly as possible and not too low in the mix or obscured by back ground noise. Picture is second to sound and if you have a mic then it's worth pluging it in to your computer and using it rather than an inbuilt mic. Camera wise anything will do from a webcam to an SLR. What you have to say is the most important part of this project.

Once again thank you for your help without it there would be no project.
