ART

As you may or may not know, the Alan Oldham Shop at Cafepress is up and
running. The Goth Chick lunchbox and Miss Djax mousepads are especially cool. Check it out at: www.cafeshops.com/alanoldham

The brand-new art book, "Product, Baby, Product: The Art of Alan D. Oldham" is also out now at Cafepress, previewing artwork from Oldham's latest comic project, VECTRA. Oldham cult characters JOHNNY GAMBIT and ORIETTA ST. CLOUD are also represented. Order one today

Alan is currently doing 8 new 12-inch jackets for UK label New Religion and has completed a new Miss Djax comic that hasn't seen print yet

Speaking of Miss Djax, Oldham's very first Miss Djax comic from 1992 was reprinted in the CD booklet of her latest mix CD, "Djax-It-Up"

WRITING

DJ, producer, illustrator, and now add published author to the canon. For those 313 heads who have been waiting for a new book on Detroit Techno, Alan's long-awaited autobiography, "The Last DJ On Earth: My Life and Times in Detroit's Techno Underworld," will soon be released in a special, limited edition.

From his beginnings as a radio personality in the late '80s at the dawn of Detroit Techno, to his eventual rise to global (semi-) fame as an international DJ, producer, label owner (Generator and Pure Sonik) and all-around artist, to his final disillusionment with and ultimate departure from Detroit, Oldham pulls no punches as he tells his story in his own uncompromising words.

The first-ever story from a true, inner-city Detroiter who was there from the beginning, and with a cast of characters that include some of the biggest techno names on the planet, "The Last DJ" is sure to spark discussion all over the world. Can you handle the truth? Over 200 pages, plus photos. More details to be announced
