Junot Diaz-Jasmine Deras, Joy Liu, & Robert Trujillo
It brings great pleasure to let you know about this great writer Mr. Junot Diaz. I highly recommend his stuff. Also, we have a new artist on deck. The very talented Ms. Jasmine Deras from the bay area who is bringing it with this one. Definitely check out her work. If you havent been able to peep Joy Liu's work, its because she's working on her site, handling hella (a lot) of business, and enjoying the life as a free agent. Please holler with feedback or any related stories if you've read Junot's stuff.
