Darren
White .....................................................................................................
Born in
1974 on the outskirts of London, Darren is the epitomy of the unseen
enigma. Twisted pistons mis-fire, parked sideways in a parallel
bay. Never
missing an opportunity to hide from plainarity, and the mundane,
Darren was born into a desert landscape, unfit for most humans.
But yet he survived, at the
cost of his sanity. He now is making efforts to leave the desert
behind him, following the light of truth and the perceived reality
of a loonie.
Vitamin
Joe (Darren White/ Vlad
Alexander)
I was born under the
sign of Fffuh. It is very lucky that I was not born in the great
rains, as this would displease the gods of Fffuh. I am proud of
my strong
Fffuh ancestry, which perpetuates and recapitulates my destiny's
child, my hormonal imbalance, and my word of truth of the king of
Fffuh.
Darren & Vlad's
strip 'The Amazing Flip-Flop' appears
in Paper Tiger #2
Vlad
(fashion penis)
Born in Liverpool in 1971, Vlad is a highly evolved monkey, now
able to communicate with human-like sounds, and type short sentences.
A fanatical
born-again vegan, he likes nothing better than to burst into McDonalds,
a taped recording from an abbatoir blaring from his ghetto blaster,
and ask for
a 'double grilled McDeath burger', before being forcibly ejected
from the premises. His greatest unrealised dream is to touch Avril
Lavigne's bottom.

first of which being the spectacularly misunderstood Gerald which
appeared in a school magazine. Ones he still writes are Caffeine

Planet of Sound. And
that'd be about all you need to know!

Fin
Man 7
The mysteriously soggy Fin-Man-7 has bubbled up from his hidden brain reef to
produce the first segment of Pograzye 23 for
Paper Tiger. All we know about him is he dreams best when submerged, that fishcakes
are a staple, that aquariums make him melancholy and he thinks Hellboy's fishy
pal Abe looks seriously cool in the movie. Fin Man 7 is currently annoying the
blow-fish while working on projects for his soon-to-be-up-and-gurgling website
and completing the first segment of Elevator's for the inspirational
Axel Heyst's exciting new Toffeehammer project. |

sean Duffield
Sean is an evolved
ape, often lovingly referred to as Dr Seanelius.His first attempt
at self-publishing began with the zine MUZZLE MOUTH
(site still being slowly constructed), which gave him an outlet
for years of frustration and bottled-up rage, but a sense of joy
at finally being able to articulate himself, no matter how primatively.
Since then he has appeared in Philadelphia's (US) TRIC
Zine, aswell as Calgary's (Canada) SPUR
magazine. He has also worked on strips for the Sound Of
Drowning: Dialogue Anthology, MISTY Halloween Special, Toonadelic
Times,RiverWurst Anthology alongside Hunt Emerson
& Simon Gane and is about to appear in the
upcoming The Strip comic in Brighton.
He has also done numerous poster, flyer, and cover illustrations,
most of which he did for free, for a pittance or for freshly-picked
berries. After being in Brighton after four years and evolving into
a highly sensitive yet still hairy being, he decided to make efforts
to become a social animal and assemble a rag-tag bunch of desperados
for the Paper Tiger Comix Anthology. The rest, as they say, is history.
The most current project
is to set up an Arts based Community Group right here in Brighton.
