The zine of the week is Next Generation Portraits by David Lawrence, who also contributed to last week's zine, Haven!

From his bio:

"David Lawrence is a brit from London, England who has lived in a small South Carolina town for the last eight years. Fortunately, the small town has one of the best copy shops in the state. David is a freelance machine designer, who for the last couple of years has amused himself with some pen and ink portrait work. He has also edited all 35 issues of a zine on the 60's British tv series THE PRISONER, called 'Once Upon a Time.'"

This zine was published by Pennyfarthing Press in 1991. It's a pure artzine, no fic or poetry, no words at all! So all I'll say is that I love Lawrence's work, he's a top-notch zine artist (and Haven was really one of the best-illustrated I've ever seen). From here on out, it's just pics!

As Lawrence notes on the inside cover, most of these drawings had already appeared in fanzines, including Eridani, The Next Generation, and The Agonizer. A year later, the Tasha Yar portrait was featured in Haven.
