extras

the folsom guys turned the european tour posters i did for them into a t-shirt. check their myspace (myspace.com/folsom) for the remaining dates of their current US tour to pick one up.

also just got this zine in the mail from william cody watson of the stolen babies blog to the right of this page. the presentation is really great. very low print run so get after him through the stolen babies site to see what he still has available.

can't get my head right..

..when i can't get my life right.

new, juxtapoz, etc.

being an 'artist'. trying to support myself as an 'artist'. is sometimes a double edged sword. pretty much get to do what i want. but can't always afford the things i want. like anything out of the current 'catalyst' show at fifty24. tickets to the carcass reunion tour. the limited kasner integrity shirts from shirtsanddestroy. or the new juxtapoz tattoo book. which features a picture of tim lehi wearing one of the black metal masks i made a while back...

...which might be remembered from this old roller pic. but life goes on.

i don't remember this.

new print for the upcoming 'horror business' show at tradition in westlake village, ca.
24"x36" acrylic on newsprint. numbered edition of 42. with 2 APs on heavy rag.

more information on the show soon.

harvest process hoods

maybe i've been listening to too much neurosis, amon amarth, and holy terror bands. watching the tree line along the highway and the sky through the silhouetted canopy of the woods. as this 'harvest process' image has been finding its way into my work. the amalgamation of the harvest rune and the identifying symbol of the process church cult. reap what you sow.

PR!MOs got some big ideas. not enough to comment on right now, but things are in the works.

folsom u.s. tour, etc.

'dear kate, i'm sorry that i used your picture for this folsom tour poster without your consent. i know it shows a real lack of creativity and artistic merit on my part. and that my friends in the same industry are going to give me shit for it. but i really think it came out incredibly. and if you feel that you have to send a cease and desist, i'll eat the paper in the hope that it was once touched by your fingers.'
numbered edition of 60. three color print measures 12.5"x24.5" on 130lb. cover stock. available on the upcoming folsom US tour with lose none. visit their myspace for dates. or click the image to enlarge.

outlined one of these with a mike giant sharpie. i guess that makes me a fan.

hatefuck vol.4

it's been a while (the last issue come out last summer) but the newest installment of the art zine 'hatefuck' is finally finished. even more scraps and leftovers and recycled crap. smaller format this time around - 4.25"x5.5". but made up for the size with content; screened chip cover, fold out centerfold, some color pages for the first time, and it comes packaged with an HF button and photo insert.



80 pages. $5ppd in the US. for purchase contact ingivingup@yahoo.com

give up x hatefuck v. technology

it might seem backwards to say fuck technology while sitting at the internet pecking on a keyboard. but fuck technology. the other day matt showed me how to create and then stack layers in photoshop. the image above is the first thing i've ever done on my own. with the assistance of a few phone calls. after just over 3 hours of flaring tempers and frustration i can say with assurance that this was the most frivolous expense of time i've ever wasted on 'art' and will not become a regular occurrence. maybe i've already beaten it into the ground, but due to the obvious look and nature i feel i have to continually express the fact that i do not use computers for any of my work. unless you're jeff elrod computers don't have any place in art. computers are for graphic design. graphic design is not art. this is a shit entry. just striving for post proliferation to seem productive. maybe the picture looks cool anyway.
