From 1992 to 1994, I was the editor of this fine, lo-fi school-funded anthology at Massachusetts College of Art (MassArt). It was nightmarish and sort of fun. The name FORTY-3 apparently lived on for at least a short while after I left... maybe the incoming freshmen didn't realize that I'd made up the name and thought it was some thing "official", I dunno. The five issues I put out included contributions from Mister Reusch, Paul Alix, Jack Purcell, Matt Smith, and lots of dudes submitting under assumed names. As for my personal contributions to the issues, I had a recurring storyline comic called Bughouse (later renamed to BUGHAUS after some dude put out a "real" comic called BugHouse). - Tom (The Artist Formerly Known as Goat) FORTY-3 is out-of print and rabidly sought after by indy comic fans around the world.

A video editing project I made at Mass College of Art back in 1992 or 93. It's just lots of random footage of my old band TALLER THAN gOD. I don't know why it's called Bucket. Lots of video feedback and bad cuts. Features a poor rendition of the Fat Albert theme song and an original song called "Suburban White Boy Funk". It's not really that entertaining, but various haircuts and pants amuse me.
