"The name Loaded Hips Press comes from my short-lived zine, Loaded
Hips. The words came together after seeing a billboard that featured
the torso and face of what appeared to be an under-aged girl seductively swaying
in leather pants. Her face had been cropped so that you couldn't see her eyes.
It was an advertisement for a radio station. It became an annoying part of my
day to have to see this billboard on the way home from work, and I wanted to
take back the power of the female form. While most of my work is removed from
any overt political or social criticisms, the driving force behind my creative
process is to care about what image you project into the world, and what images
you select to appreciate."
