XFuns Design Magazine

I received two copies of XFuns last night, the Taiwanese design magazine that recently did a feature on my photography. The interview was done last November, and I was beginning to wonder whether it would ever arrive, but as soon as I had forgotten about it and started to worry about other things, boom, it shows up. Honestly, I can't express how flattering the whole piece is. Quite simply, the magazine is beautiful, with a ton of cool art from all over the world, and to see fourteen of my photographs, including the self-portrait I took with a gun pointed at my head (which led to an amusing digression on the phone last night with my mom), let alone my name featured prominently on the front cover, was just too much to process. I mean, they make it seem like I'm this famous artist, and not some guy struggling to make it through each day, which now means, when asked how things came about, I can answer, "I'm big in Taiwan" with a straight face.

Anyway, it's impossible to find this magazine at your local newsstand here in the States, and I can't even find it on amazon, but I'm waiting to hear from the editor how to purchase additional copies. I know it can be done from their website, but everything is in Chinese, so I don't feel comfortable advising folks to go there. The basic details, though, are as follows, if you'd really like to see the article.
