About the Artist
Kim Lindbergs spent her wasted youth in the 80’s clubbing, squatting, dumpster diving, making music, writing poetry, reading too many books, watching too many movies and dreaming. She occasionally found time to write for zines such as Propaganda and Spontaneous Combustion under the oh-so gothic guise of Eva. She also attempted publishing her own zines on occasion, including the first English language US zine dedicated to women's comic culture in Japan called Shoujo S.I.Ndicate.
After graduating from the University of Life, she began studying art, web design, literature and film at her local community college. Since then she has gone on to work as a freelance writer for publications such as Comic Culture and Book Passage, while holding various web related jobs. She is now working on numerous design and writing projects, and is currently obsessed with photography and digital art. She hopes to further her education at UC Berkeley and maybe even earn some type of degree before she’s 40. Other future hopes include seeing the world, publishing a book and being able to afford a larger apartment.
More of Kim’s work is available at her web site.

Cemetery Scenes
Kim Lindbergs
Kensal Green, The General Cemetery of All Souls, London UK
Kensal Green was the first of the seven joint-stock cemeteries created in the early 1800’s that now encircle London. It was founded by barrister George
Frederick Carden (1798-1874). In 1821 he visited Paris and was so impressed
by the La Cimetière du Père-Lachaise necropolis there that he invited a number of similarly-minded people to join him in producing a program on how an English version of Père-Lachaise could be created. Kensal Green was the incredible outcome of their planning. This old cemetery now houses the remains of many great English thinkers and artists including painter John Waterhouse, writer Wilkie Collins, political radical and writer Leigh Hunt, inventor Charles Babbage and Lord Byron’s wife Annabella Milbanke.
Unfortunately time has not been kind to Kensal Green and the cemetery is suffering from serious decay and vandalism. If you can help please visit
