Mark Jay is a film-maker, writer and visual artist who has been causing cultural disruptions for almost half a century.

Mark started SKuM ‘zine in 1976 aged 14 after bumping into members of the Sex Pistols crew in Rock On record shop in Camden. Issue #1 featured Sid Vicious’ first
interview with his band The Flowers of Romance. Mark became an early face on the UK Punk scene –
getting arrested on the Pistols’ Jubilee Boat Party, designing the cartoon poster for their debut LP, and stowing- away on the Clash’s Out of Control tour.

In 1979 Mark co-produced the post-Punk poetry ‘zine All the Poets, in London and San Francisco. This debut collection of poetry partly chronicles Mark’s extra-curricular escapades from 1972-88 and moves from Skinhead moonstomps through making tea at the BBC to being thrown out (and obviously so bored) of the USA for half-inching Beat poetry.

It is the precursor to his forthcoming novel / memoir of misbehaviour – The Nudniks of 1977 which delves further into his back catalogue of chaos and religious
disobedience.
