Stephen Leiper is a writer, editor, artist, songwriter, gardener, mountain biker, and a rock and roller.
"I emigrated from Tennessee to San Francisco in the 1960s, and walked into the Oracle office and helped put the paper together, doing typesetting and pasteup, writing and drawing, and whatever else needed to be done. I have lived in the North Bay Area since 1968, working on other publications, including the Bay Guardian, Whole Earth Catalog, Pacific Sun, and Propaganda Review."
"My pen and ink drawings are awaiting their first show, but some of them have seen the light of day in various publications, and as a series of notecards. I sign my art as Steppen Leap, and also use that as a stage name when performing my satirical, anti-establishment songs."
"You can write me at 611 Manuel Drive, Novato, CA 94945. Phone: (415) 491-9117."
