Eric Blair

Eric Blair performed spoken word at the 2005, 2007 and 2008 Dark Arts Festivals and once at Cabaret Voltage. He performed a short rant at The 2010 Alternative Press Festival with the help of The VCR5. As one member of The S.P.R.3 he has also performed at Salt Lake's all-ages venue Kilby Court. He has a tendency to have his microphone cut, sometimes it's on purpose. He is also a comedian and humorist, leaning especially towards a Monty Python style of absurdity.

He has been published in the 4th and 5th issues of It Takes All Kinds. He was the "Associate Editor" of the 3rd issue of Bradley Sands' Bust Down the Door and Eat All the Chickens. His work was featured in four of six issues of Negative Space. He wrote "Forrest Gump" for Titular Journal and "Abacus Sundial" for Thieves Jargon. For a few months in early 2008 he wrote for and helped edit SLUG Magazine.

He has been a guest on Brian Staker's The Awkward Hour podcast three times thus far in 2010, on his third appearance he turned the tables and interviewed the host. Mr. Staker also interviewed Eric Blair for the December 2003 issue of SLUG Magazine.

He enjoys making background pages as much as he enjoys writing for Chiaroscuro.
