Shane Bugbee (born November 9, 1968) is an underground artist, publisher, multi-media communicator, filmmaker and event promoter. He has been criticized for allegedly exploiting the death of Dana Plato of Diff'rent Strokes by releasing a CD recording of her "dying breath".〔(The Dana Plato Memorial Site )〕〔(Gettingit.com: Dana Plato's Corpse )〕 In 1986 he established Michael Hunt Publishing, later publishing cartoonist Mike Diana. In 1992 Bugbee became an agent of Serial Killer John Wayne Gacy art, eventually publishing Gacy's bio "A Question of Doubt".〔(Making a killing off John Wayne Gacy )〕 A self-proclaimed expert in the subject of Serial Killers,〔(Festival of the Dead goes "too far!" says mayor )〕 Bugbee has spoken extensively on the subject, even touring a collection of artifacts including Ed Geins tombstone.〔(Police grab grave marker promoted as serial killer's )〕 These "side show" style speaking engagements have drawn criticism as exploitive〔("Con"ference )〕 and over the edge. Salem, Ma. Mayor Stanley Usovicz tried to stop one event, calling it "an outrage"〔(Criticism brews over 'killer' talk )〕 after Bugbee displayed Ed Gein's truck in the center of Salem's downtown area. In 1997 Bugbee and his wife Amy organized "The Expo of the Extreme", a three day event featuring bands, artists, films, petty criminals, and porn stars. The second installment of "The Expo Of The Extreme" in 1999, was to include Dana Plato as the hostess of an event highlighting Motörhead and Fang, but she died just weeks before the event from an alleged prescription drug suicide.〔(Morbidly Hollywood - The death of Dana Plato )〕 In the course of his work, Bugbee has interviewed various well-known individuals, including TV magician Penn Jillette, and Anton LaVey, the High Priest of the Church of Satan. Bugbee created his own blueberry soda pop, Ely Soda.〔(New Ely-designed soda hitting the shelves )〕 The popularity of the soda led to wider revelation of Bugbee's other entrepreneurial and artistic endeavors (via Google searches, etc.), eventually ending in controversy and exile.〔(Sympathy for the Devil )〕 Bugbee turned his attention to environmental and political concerns. Shane Bugbee was a winner in the Willie Nelson peaceful solution video contest.〔(winning Willie Nelson video. )〕 From Nov. 4 2007 until Nov. 5, 2008 Bugbee, with his wife Amy, embarked on a year long road trip called A Year At The Wheel 〔(‘Wheel’ Offers a Different Take on America )〕 covering art, politics, religion and revolution which culminated into a book and documentary release (). Bugbee settled in a small beach town in 2008 on SE corner of Washington state after the road trip. Shortly after arriving he began using sculpture as a medium of expression, producing dozens of works which have been exhibited in various shows. He was interviewed about his art in ArtSync magazine in 2011. () In 2013, Shane and Amy Bugbee turned over all of the materials - footage and writing - from the year long road trip to the Internet Archive. The largest archive in the world. () They also spoke at Harvard University in May 2013 about their travels. ==Media appearances== Bugbee has been profiled in ''The Chicago Reader''〔(Shocks to the System )〕 and ''Spin Magazine, Sept 2001'' during the underground publishing boom.
