ABOUT

WHO OR WHAT IS ERASURE?

Erasure is a synth-pop duo that consists of two aliens that crash-landed onto a certain country called, and I quote, "England".  NO, THEY DID NOT DIE IN THE '80s!!!  They are still going strong and they still insist on taking over the world one day.  Okay, everything I just wrote is a lie.  For real info about Erasure, look at my links page.  Or just google them.

ARE ALL ERASURE FANS AS SCREWED UP AS YOU PORTRAY THEM?

This deserves a much longer answer but for now I'll give the short version: Fortunately, no.  Some are a reflection of my inner Erasure demon (which we all have) but some of the crazier ones are obviously based on some of those fans.  Yeah, you know who I'm talking about...

HOW OFTEN DO YOU DRAW THIS CRAP, I MEAN STUFF?

After I bang my head against a wall enough times so that I can't tell left from right; THAT'S when I begin a new comic.  Or when some Erasure news comes along that I can make fun of.  The real answer is I don't know.  I used to be a lot more prolific.  These days I'm slow.   

ABOUT THIS SITE

Born on August 25, 2004, this site's original appearance was on the GeoCities Yahoo! pages as a free account.  After exceeding its bandwidth once Greg (of the EIS) gave it some wonderful promotion in an Erasure email newsletter, the site owner upgraded to Yahoo Plus and was forever content.

But all good things must come to an end and the site was eventually moved to the screen before you, hosted by DreamHost.

ABOUT MY ERASURE HISTORY

I don't know about you but I love reading other people's stories concerning how they got into Erasure so if you find that really boring then you should skip the rest of this and click on one of the other links on the left.

Sometime in the summer my sister bought the album "Chorus" on cassette from the cheap bin at Bradley's.  This was 1998 or '99.  After listening to it once, I felt ... nothing.  I proceeded to listen to other music until months later while in college I was absolutely sick of everything in my music collection and decided to play the old cassette.  Now I understood.  After buying everything of theirs under the sun (well, almost) I had a full-blown obsession and wanted to start a webpage for a band that everyone thought died in the 80s.  Well, I never got around to creating that site unless you happened to see a one page diatribe on the extinct angelfire with the extension andybellerina.  No, I thought not.  

A sketch from the Hell Journal

What started as an ugly sketch in my drawing journal soon became the horrible monster that is Mental Erasure.  This whole garbage is mainly for myself which is why I think it's both fantastic and surprising that people have actually written to me and told me they liked this stuff.

So if any of this brings a smile to your face and helps promote the name of Erasure then what's the harm?  Since I've been allocated more space than I know what to do with, I will continue to add more features here. Which leads me to the next part.
