In 1982 I wanted to publish an  underground newspaper.  Later they would call it a “punk fanzine.”

So I was trying to think up a good name for my underground newspaper.  “Twisted Image” was the first name that popped into my head.  I ran a couple other names in my head.  And decided, “Twisted Image will do.”

I figured it was a pretty original name for 1982.  “Twisted Image.”

Recently I Googled the name “Twisted Image” just for kicks.  There are several tattoo parlors going by the name Twisted Image.  There’s an S&M leather store in San Jose going by the name Twisted Image.  There’s a graphic arts company that goes by Twisted Image, Inc.   And a Twisted Image t-shirt company.

I guess it wasn’t such an original idea after all.  But as far as I know, I came up with “Twisted Image” first.  So all these other people should fuck off.
