NEKROMANTIX NEWS! -
AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, THE NEKROMANTIX HAD BEEN IN TOUCH WITH RBS ABOUT COMING UP WITH SOME NEW T-SHIRT DESIGNS TO SELL ON THE NEW TOUR AND BEYOND. I HAD THIS KILLER SKETCH OF A SEXY ROCK-A-BILLY ZOMBIE GIRL IN A GRAVEYARD DRAWN UP FOR OVER A YEAR AND THOUGHT THAT IT'D MAKE A GREAT SHIRT DESIGN FOR THE NEKRO SONG 'GHOULINA' OFF THE LATEST ALBUM. SO I INKED AND COLORED IT UP AND SENT IT OFF TO NEKROMAN TO CHECK OUT...NEEDLESS TO SAY, HE DUG THE DESIGN AND WE PUT IT ON THE PRODUCTION FAST TRACK SO THEY'D HAVE THEM READY BY AT LEAST THE MID POINT OF THE NATIONAL TOUR. YOU CAN CHECK OUT THE NEW DESIGN IN OUR T-SHIRT GRAPHIX SECTION, BUT FOR NOW THEY ARE UNAVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE. KEEP CHECKING WWW.MACHETEMFG.COM IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS TO SEE WHEN THEY'RE AVAILABLE FOR MAILORDER OR PICK ONE UP AT ONE OF THE UPCOMING NEKROMANTIX TOUR DATES (WWW.NEKROMANTIX.COM).
I'VE ALSO JUST STARTED ON ANOTHER NEW NEKROMANTIX SHIRT THAT WILL HAVE A DESIGN SIMILAR IN LAYOUT TO THE HORRORPOPS 'PSYCHO BITCHES' DESIGN I DID A FEW YEARS BACK, BUT WILL FEATURE NEKROMAN'S RIPPED/SKELETAL FACE OVER CROSSED COFFIN BASSES, WITH COBWEBS, BATS ETC. I ONLY HAVE A ROUGH BALLPOINT PEN SKETCH DRAWN UP SO FAR, BUT THE DESIGN HAS BEEN GIVEN THE GO-AHEAD BY THE BAND AND THE FINAL LAYOUT SHOULD BE COMPLETED IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
DESOTO SK8 -
DESOTO SK8 HAS ENLISTED US AGAIN TO DESIGN ANOTHER NEW SKATEDECK FOR THEIR UPCOMING LINE OF SHOP DECKS. THIS ONE WILL FEATURE A CREEPY GRAVEYARD SCENE WITH 'DESOTO SK8' RISING UP OUT OF THE MIST...I WANNA ADD SKULLS, BONES, ETC INTO THE DESIGN TOO, SO IT SHOULD BE FUN AS HELL...I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE HOW THE WHOLE LAYOUT WILL LOOK UNTIL IT'S ALL DONE, BUT I'LL DEFINITELY POST A PIC OF IT WHEN IT'S COMPLETED....SO LOOK OUT FOR THAT VERY SOON.
COMING SOON! -
THE TIGER ARMY/GHOSTTIGERS.COM CARTOON SPLASH PAGE IS CLOSE TO COMPLETION...SO LOOK FOR THAT SOON, THEY'VE BEEN EXTREMELY PATIENT WITH MY SLOW ASS, SO I HOPE THE FINAL DESIGN WILL BE WORTH THE WAIT...
IT'S LOOKING AS IF I WILL BE DOING YET ANOTHER NEW HORRORPOPS T-SHIRT DESIGN THIS YEAR...PROBABLY BASED ON THE SONG 'DOTTED WITH HEARTS'...I MAY ALSO BE REDESIGNING THE FRONT PAGE OF THEIR "LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORPOPS" WEBSITE IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS/MONTHS...
THOSE GHOULISH CALABRESE BROS AND I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO NAIL DOWN A COOL LAYOUT/DESIGN FOR A NEW T-SHIRT FOR THEM AS WELL, SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE SOMETHING COOL TOGETHER SOON...
SEVERAL OTHER THINGS ARE IN VARIOUS STAGES OF COMPLETION AND NEW PROJECTS ARE PRESENTING THEMSELVES ALL THE TIME, SO YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL COME SHAMBLING DOWN THESE HAUNTED HALLS IN THE NEAR FUTURE...SO KEEP CHECKING BACK, SHOULD BE MORE SICK & TWISTED GRAPHICS COMING SOON!!
STAY DEAD AND KEEP ROTTEN!
MAY 30, 2006
HEY CREEPS, FIENDS, AND FREAKS...WE'RE FINALLY BACK WITH A NEW UPDATE!
SORRY FOR THE LONG DELAY BETWEEN UPDATES, WE'VE BEEN WITHOUT INTERNET ACCESS FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS HERE AT RBS, BUT WE'RE BACK ONLINE NOW, SO HOPEFULLY I CAN KEEP THE 'SITE UPDATED A LITTLE MORE FREQUENTLY...HOPE EVERYONE DIGS THE NEW ARTWORK, THERE'S TONS MORE TO COME...BETWEEN ALL THIS AND DESIGNING AND LEARNING HOW TO TATTOO, I'M DRAWING MORE NOW THAN EVER BEFORE!
BEWARE...THE HORRORPOPS!! -
A FEW WEEKS AGO, I FINISHED 3 NEW HORRORPOPS T-SHIRT DESIGNS THAT I'D BEEN WORKING ON AND THEY'RE AVAILABLE NOW AT HTTP://WWW.MACHETEMFG.COM AND ALL CURRENT HORRORPOPS TOUR DATES....SO MAKE SURE YOU PICK 'EM UP!
CHECK OUT THE T-SHIRT GRAPHIX SECTION HERE AT RABID BADGER FOR A PEEK AT THESE CREEPY NEW CREATIONS.
THE FIRST DESIGN IS A RE-WORKING OF THE HORRORPOPS CLASSIC SKULL AND LOLLIPOPS DESIGN, WHILE THE OTHER TWO ARE ALL NEW CUSTOM ILLUSTRATIONS INSPIRED BY THE SONGS "GHOULS" FROM THE 1ST HORRORPOPS CD "HELL YEAH!" AND THE SPOOKY COOL "WALK LIKE A ZOMBIE" FROM THE NEW ALBUM "BRING IT ON!"
I HOPE YOU ALL DIG THESE AS MUCH AS I DO, IT'S BEEN A LOT OF FRIGGIN' FUN DRAWING UP ZOMBIE 'TOONS OF ALL THESE GUYS AND GIRLS OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND I THINK AT PRESENT TIME I HAVE DRAWN EVERY CURRENT HORRORPOPS BAND MEMBER AS A ZOMBIE OR OTHER CORPSE-LIKE CREATURE.
IT WAS HELLA COOL RE-WORKING THE SKULL LOGO TOO, I HAD FUN WITH THAT ONE...I'D LOVE TO SEE THE SHIRTS PRINTED IN DIFFERENT COLORS TOO (LOLLIPOP FLAVORS!!), BUT THAT'S ULTIMATELY UP TO THE BAND.
AGAIN, IT WAS A GREAT PLEASURE TO WORK WITH THE HORRORPOPS AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT ROUND OF GHASTLY GRAPHICS.
...IN THE MEANTIME, A CERTAIN SOMEONE CLOSE TO THE BAND TOLD ME THAT THE NEKROMANTIX MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN SOME COOL NEW THREADS IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE...SO STAY TUNED!!
MONSTER PICKS! -
HOT PICKS USA (THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THOSE COOL MONSTER FACE GUITAR & BASS PICKS EVERYBODY IS USING THESE DAYS) RECENTLY HIRED RBS TO DESIGN A NEW, CUSTOM GUITAR PICK BASED ON FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER.

ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN -
THE NEW ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN ARTWORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND SHOULD SEE PRINT SOMETIME NEXT YEAR IN THE BOOK "A FISTFUL OF ROCK 'N' ROLL" ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER RABID BADGER DESIGNS. THE LAST ROCK 'N' ROLL ART BOOK THAT EF RELEASED WAS PUBLISHED BY DARK HORSE (Y'KNOW, THE KICKASS COMIC PUBLISHER), SO HOPEFULLY THIS NEW ONE WILL BE PUBLISHED BY THEM AS WELL...BUT AT THIS POINT, I HAVEN'T A CLUE.
I'VE BEEN EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT FROM THE START AND REALLY TRIED TO HAVE FUN WITH THE DESIGN AND MAKE IT SOMETHING REALLY COOL AND CREEPY, BUT STILL KINDA FUN AND CARTOONISH. I WAS GIVEN FREE REIGN TO DO WHATEVER I WANTED AS LONG AS IT HAD TO DO WITH FRANKENSTEIN & ROCK 'N' ROLL, SO THIS IS THE GRUESOME LITTLE GRAPHIC I CAME UP WITH: HTTP://WWW.RABIDBADGERSTUDIOS.COM/PAGES/EFMONSTER.HTML
I JUST THOUGHT A BIG, HULKING, MOSHPIT MONSTER WOULD BE COOL AS FUCK TO DRAW, HAHA...ALL STOMPING AND FLAILING, WITH SKULLS AND STUFF JUMPING UP OFF THE FLOOR AS HE SKANKED AROUND THE OL' JUKEBOX WITH HIS GIANT WAFFLE STOMPER ENGINEER BOOTS. I TRIED TO THROW IN ALL KINDS OF COOL LITTLE THINGS, LIKE THE STEAM WHISTLE HEAD BOLT, THE HORROR ROCK BAND BUTTONS ON HIS FURRY VEST, THE FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER SKULL BELT BUCKLE, ETC., ETC
ANYWAY, I HOPE EVERYONE DIGS IT, IT'S BECOME ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE DRAWINGS NOW AND I'M REALLY VERY PROUD AND HONORED THAT IT WILL BE PUBLISHED ALONGSIDE OF SOME OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST ROCK ARTISTS. CHECK OUT EF'S WEBSITE FOR MORE INFO ON THIS AND TONS MORE: WWW.ELECTRICFRANKENSTEIN.COM
DESOTO SK8 -
DESOTO SK8, AN AWESOME NEW SKATEBOARD SHOP IN OLIVE BRANCH, MS CONTACTED US ABOUT DESIGNING A CREEPY SKATER-ZOMBIE FOR A NEW DECK TO LAUNCH THE STORE'S NEW LINE OF CUSTOM SKATE DECKS IN 2006. ENTITLED "SKATING NEVER DIES!!", THIS SICK NEW GRAPHIC WILL NOT ONLY BE FEATURED ON A NEW SKATE DECK, BUT WILL ALSO BE AVAILABLE ON STICKERS AND T-SHIRTS AVAILABLE THRU THE STORE...CHECK OUT THE NEW DECK ART IN THE SKATEDECK GRAPHIX SECTION AND BE SURE TO CHECK OUT WWW.DESOTOSK8.COM FOR MORE INFO ON THE AVAILABILITY OF THE DECKS, SHIRTS, STICKERS & EVERYTHING ELSE THEY CARRY. HOPEFULLY THIS DESIGN WILL BE THE FIRST OF MANY IN A LONG LINE OF CUSTOM SKATEDECKS...STAY TUNED!!
SKETCHBOOK SCRIBBLIN' -
I STARTED AN APPRENTICESHIP 3 MONTHS AGO AT BUDO TATTOO AND BODY PIERCING STUDIO HERE IN JACKSON, TENNESSEE UNDER ARTIST MATT BROWN AND HAVE BEEN DRAWING LIKE CRAZY EVER SINCE (YES, EVEN MORE SO THAN USUAL)...I SCANNED IN A FEW PENCIL DRAWINGS OF SOME SKULLS AND STUFF THAT I'VE DRAWN WHILE WORKING AT THE TATTOO SHOP AND HAVE THEM POSTED IN THE SKETCHBOOK SECTION. EXPECT TO SEE PLENTY MORE IN THE COMING MONTHS, I'M ALWAYS DOODLING UP SOME KINDA WEIRD THING OR ANOTHER...HOPEFULLY SOON I'LL HAVE A SECTION TO POST PICS OF ACTUAL TATTOOS THAT I'VE DONE TOO...SO FAR I'VE ONLY DONE THREE, BUT THOSE ARE JUST THREE OF HUNDREDS, MAYBE THOUSANDS MORE TO COME IN THE FUTURE. TATTOOING WAS SOMETHING THAT I WAS ALWAYS INTERESTED IN AND HAVE BEEN VERY CLOSE TO GETTING INTO IN THE PAST....BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL NOW THAT EVERYTHING FELL TOGETHER SO WELL. I'M IN A KILLER SHOP, SUPER CLEAN AND PROFESSIONAL, NO BULLSHIT, JUST HIGH QUALITY TATTOOS IN A SAFE PLACE FOR A GOOD PRICE....CHECK OUT WWW.BUDOTATTOO.COM FOR MORE INFO ON THE SHOP AND ARTISTS...AND IF YOU'RE EVER COMING THRU TENNESSEE, WE'RE LOCATED JUST OFF INTERSTATE 40...SO CRUISE ON IN FOR SOME SICK ASS INK!!
WELL CREEPS, THAT'S ALL FOR THIS LITTLE UPDATE, HOPE YOU GOT A KICK OUT OF THE NEW DESIGNS...AS YOU'VE NOW READ THERE'S PLENTY OF COOL NEW STUFF COMING UP IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, SO KEEP CHECKING BACK AND THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT!
STAY DEAD.
OCT 10, 2005:
WELL KIDS, OCTOBER IS HERE AGAIN AND HALLOWEEN IS NEARLY UPON US ONCE MORE...I LOVE OCTOBER, IT ALWAYS PUTS ME IN THE MOOD TO DRAW CREEPY STUFF...YES, EVEN MORE SO THAN USUAL...I DON'T KNOW, IT'S JUST AN OVERALL FEELING I GET IN THE FALL MONTHS I GUESS, BUT OCTOBER IS THE BEST.
I ONLY HAVE ONE MAJOR PIECE OF ART TO POST THIS MONTH, BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT PROJECTS IN THE WORKS (AND SOME NEW ONES JUST COMING IN), SO HOPEFULLY I'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE SOME MORE TO SHARE NEXT UPDATE....IN THE MEANTIME, CHECK OUT THESE ASSORTED TRICKS AND TREATS...
CORNBUGS -
THE NEW CORNBUGS T-SHIRT DESIGN HAS BEEN POSTED IN THE T-SHIRT GRAPHIX SECTION, SO BE SURE TO CHECK IT OUT.
I HAD A HELLUVA GOOD TIME WORKING ON THIS DESIGN WITH CORNBUG VOCALIST AND HORROR FILM STALKER BILL "CHOP TOP" MOSELY...WE BRAINSTORMED FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS OVER A SERIES OF MANIC EMAILS BEFORE FINALLY SETTLING ON THE DESIGN THAT YOU SEE NOW....
SOME THINGS, LIKE THE FRIED CHICKEN LEGS, WERE ADDED IN SIMPLY TO BE RIDICULOUS.....I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT THE CORNBUGS JUST MADE ME THINK OF FRIED CHICKEN LEGS (MAYBE IT'S BUCKETHEAD'S FAULT)...IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT POPPED INTO MY HEAD WHEN WE FIRST STARTED THINKING UP IDEAS FOR THE T-SHIRT...CROSSED FRIED CHICKEN LEGS...ONE LEG WITH A BITE OUT OF IT...AND A WREATH OF CORN...THAT'S ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT...WEIRD, HUH?
ANYWAY, WE'RE BOTH REALLY HAPPY WITH HOW THE DESIGN TURNED OUT...IT'S KINDA LIKE A BACKWOODS, MUTANT FAMILY'S COAT OF ARMS, HAHA.
WE HAD A GREAT TIME WORKING ON IT AND WE HOPE EVERYONE LIKES THE DESIGN...IF SO, BE SURE TO PICK ONE UP WHEN THEY GET PRINTED UP AND RELEASED....SHOULD BE SOON, SO KEEP YER EYES PEELED TO WWW.CHOPTOPSBBQ.COM AND WWW.CORNBUGS.COM
THE ART OF ROCK 'N' ROLL -
A WHILE BACK, I DID A 7" COVER FOR NO BALLS RECORDS TO USE ON THEIR ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN & FRIENDS MULTI-SPLIT SINGLE RELEASE...ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN HAS NOW GOTTEN IN TOUCH WITH ME ABOUT USING THAT DESIGN AND SEVERAL MORE IN THEIR UPCOMING BOOK "THE ART OF ROCK 'N' ROLL", THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED BY DARK HORSE SOMETIME NEXT YEAR. ALONG WITH THE EF 7" COVER, THEY WILL HAVE A 2 PAGE SECTION FEATURING MY ARTWORK, THAT WILL INCLUDE PIECES SUCH AS THE BLITZKID 'NOSFERATU' LOGO, A FEW MISFITS DESIGNS, THE MISTER MONSTER ZOMBIE LOGO AND A FEW OTHERS....EF HAS ALSO ASKED ME IF I WOULD CONTRIBUTE A BRAND NEW ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN SHOW POSTER DESIGN EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE BOOK (THEY WILL HAVE A SEPARATE EF ART SECTION IN THE BOOK). I'M IN THE PROCESS OF FINISHING UP THAT DESIGN AND WILL POST A COPY OF IT ON THE WEBSITE WHEN IT IS COMPLETED. FANS OF MY MONSTER CARTOONS WILL BE STOKED WHEN THEY SEE THIS THING, IT'S EASILY THE COOLEST LOOKING FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER I'VE DONE SO FAR AND I'M EXTREMELY PROUD OF HOW IT'S TURNING OUT.
I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT BEING PUBLISHED IN THIS NEW BOOK TOO AS MY ARTWORK WILL BE ALONG SIDE SUCH GREAT TALENTS AS COOP, KOZIK, ALAN FORBES, JEFF GAITHER, ALLEN JAEGER, SCOTT SHAW AND HR GIGER (AND A FEW HUNDRED MORE!!)
FOR MORE INFO ON ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN AND THE UPCOMING ART BOOK, PLEASE CHECK OUT WWW.ELECTRICFRANKENSTEIN.COM

IF YOU KNOW ANYONE THAT HAS A TATTOO OF ONE OF MY DESIGNS, PLEASE HAVE THEM SEND ME A CLEAR PHOTO! THANKS!
AUG 8, 2005:
WELL, IT'S BEEN MONTHS SINCE THE 'SITE WAS LAST UPDATED, SO I'VE DECIDED TO JUST RE-DO IT ALL MYSELF AGAIN FOR A WHILE AND SEE HOW IT GOES...IT SHOULD BE A LOT EASIER THIS WAY, I CAN UPDATE OR CHANGE ANYTHING I WANT, WHEN I WANT.
I THREW TOGETHER A GOOFY NEW CARICATURE OF MYSELF TO USE AS A MENU PAGE, I KNOW IT'S FREAKY LOOKING, BUT IT WAS DONE REALLY FAST ...IT'S A GOOF ANYWAYS, SO SHADDUP!
THIS NEWS PAGE IS FRIGGIN' HUGE, SO I HOPE YOU GOT A MINUTE OR TWO...IF NOT, JUST SKIM THE SHIT AND CLICK THE LINKS...A FEW SECTIONS WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO BE RE-WORKED YET AGAIN BECAUSE I'M A DANGEROUSLY UNSTABLE MENTAL DEFICIENT AND I DON'T QUITE GRASP THIS WHOLE WEB PAGE LAYOUT/HTML BULLSHIT (I WANNA GO BACK AND ADD INFO ON EACH DESIGN AT SOME POINT)....SO HAVE PATIENCE WITH ME, IT'S THE ARTWORK THAT COUNTS ANYWAYS ISN'T IT?...AND SPEAKING OF ARTWORK, I HAVE A WHOLE SHITLOAD OF COOL NEW STUFF TO SHARE WITH ALL YOU FREAKY ART LOVIN' FOOLS...SO GO CHECK 'EM OUT!!...SPECIAL THANKS TO TRAVIS AT GROTESQUE MEDIA FOR HELP WITH SOME OF THE LAYOUTS.

THE OTHER ~
CHECK OUT THE T-SHIRT GRAPHICS SECTION FOR A PEEK AT THE NEW SHIRT DESIGN FOR THE OTHER...THE DESIGN WAS DONE IN SIX COLORS, BUT WAS MADE TO LOOK LIKE IT'S ALMOST BLACK & WHITE, WITH RED BEING THE ONLY BRIGHT COLOR USED. THORSTEN AND THE REST OF THE GUYS REALLY WANTED A DRAWING OF THEM BUT SOMETHING LESS CARTOONY AND A LITTLE MORE EVIL AND REALISTIC THEN SOME OF MY PREVIOUS CREATIONS, SO I SET OUT TO MAKE IT AS COOL AND CREEPY AS I POSSIBLY COULD. WE ENDED UP GOING THROUGH ONE OR TWO SMALL REVISIONS BEFORE GETTING THE FINAL VERSION COMPLETED, BUT THEY WERE DEFINITELY CHANGES FOR THE BETTER.
I HAD A KILLER TIME WORKING ON THIS DESIGN AND I HOPE EVERYONE ELSE DIGS IT AS MUCH AS THE OTHER AND I DO.
THE T-SHIRTS ARE CURRENTLY IN PRINT AND AVAILABLE AT LIVE SHOWS, BUT KEEP AN EYE ON WWW.FIENDFORCE.DE FOR NEWS ON ORDERING THE T-SHIRTS SOMETIME SOON.

THIS DESIGN WAS ORIGINALLY CREATED FOR A B/W TOUR POSTER, BUT WAS CHANGED TO A 3 COLOR SHIRT DESIGN RIGHT BEFORE THE KICK OFF OF THE TOUR. VERY FEW OF THESE T-SHIRTS WERE PRINTED, SO THEY'LL PROBABLY BE PRETTY COLLECTIBLE DOWN THE ROAD...THEY'RE STILL AVAILABLE NOW AT WWW.MERCHMONSTER.COM FOR A LIMITED TIME.

CREEPY CALABRESE T-SHIRT! ~
ARIZONA HORROR ROCK TRIO, CALABRESE RECENTLY UNLEASHED THE BRAND NEW 'VAMP 3' T-SHIRT DESIGN THAT WE HAD BEEN WORKING ON THE LAST PART OF 2004 AND THEY LOOK ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

WE RECENTLY COMPLETED THE FIRST NEW SKATE DECK DESIGN FOR FIVE POINTS AND HAVE POSTED A PIC OF THE NEW GRAPHIX IN THE SKATE DECK SECTION.
WE'RE ALL EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH HOW THE DESIGN TURNED OUT AND CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THE FINISHED PRODUCT.
TIM BIRT, THE OWNER OF FIVE POINTS SKATES AND ALL AROUND SWELL GUY, SAID THAT IT WOULD TAKE AT LEAST 4-6 WEEKS TO COMPLETE THE 1ST RUN OF DECKS, BUT THE COMPANY WAS RECENTLY HIT WITH SOME FLOODING THAT CAUSED A LARGE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO THE FACILITY AND IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE CLEAN UP IS COMPLETE AND THINGS ARE BACK TO NORMAL....SO IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE LATE SUMMER OF EARLY FALL BEFORE THEY ARE RELEASED...MAKE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE FIVE POINTS WEBSITE: HTTP://WWW.FIVEPOINTSSKATES.COM FOR AVAILABILITY NEWS....I'M SURE WE'LL POST SOME NEWS ABOUT THEM HERE TOO AS SOON AS WE HEAR SOMETHING.
...I HAD A KILLER TIME WORKING ON THIS DESIGN, SO I HOPE EVERYONE DIGS IT. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE THE FIRST OF MANY...I CAN'T WAIT TO DO SOME CRAZY ASS FULL DECK SKULL HEAD TYPE THING, HAHAHA
HFPP ~
HOOKER FORTIFIED PORK PRODUCTS....HAHA, OKAY...THIS ONE NEEDS A LITTLE EXPLAINING....
HFPP IS A NEW SONG BY THE LEGENDARY SPLATTER ROCK KINGS THE ACCUSED AND IS AVAILABLE NOW ON THEIR NEWLY RELEASED CD "OH MARTHA". THE ACCUSED HAD BEEN ROUNDING UP ARTISTS FOR A COMIC BOOK BASED ON THEIR MASCOT, MARTHA SPLATTERHEAD AND ULTIMATELY DECIDED IT WOULD BE FUN TO HAVE EACH ARTIST INVOLVED TACKLE A LYRIC PANEL IN THE NEW CD BOOKLET. A LIST OF SONG TITLES WAS SENT OUT TO ALL THE ARTISTS WITH A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THE SONG WAS ABOUT...AFTER MUCH DELIBERATION, I PICKED THE WONDERFULLY TITLED 'HOOKER FORTIFIED PORK PRODUCTS' WHICH IS A DELIGHTFUL LITTLE DITTY ABOUT A PIG FARMER FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA WHO LIKES TO PICK UP HOOKERS, MURDER THEM, CHOP UP THEIR BODIES IN A WOOD CHIPPER, FEED THE SLURRY OF MEAT, GUTS & BONE TO HIS PIGS AND THEN SLAUGHTER THE PIGS AND PROCESS THEM INTO BREAKFAST FOODS TO SELL TO LOCAL GROCERY STORES...THE SCARY THING IS...IT'S BASED ON A TRUE STORY!
ANYWAY, AFTER EACH SONG WAS PICKED BY AN ARTIST, WE WERE SENT THE FULL LYRICS AND A COPY OF THE NEW CD TO GET SOME INSPIRATION FROM (ALONG W/ A KILLER FREE T-SHIRT AND A HORROR MOVIE DVD DIRECTED BY ONE OF THE ARTISTS INVOLVED). I DECIDED THAT IT WOULD BE FUN TO DO MY PANEL REALLY CARTOONY, YET STILL SICK AND DEMENTED. HFPP HAS THIS REALLY FUNNY 'COUNTRY-FIED' BREAKDOWN IN THE MIDDLE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE SPOKEN BY THE KILLER, WILLIE P, SO I WANTED TO INCORPORATE THAT INTO MY ARTWORK AS WELL....LOVINGLY ENTITLED 'COUNTRY SUNSHINE AND THE WHISTLERS THREE' THIS DESIGN WAS A HELL OF A LOT OF FUN TO WORK ON AND I LAUGH EVERY SINGLE TIME I LOOK AT IT...YOU CAN GET A SNEAK PEEK AT THIS MALADJUSTED MONSTROSITY BY CLICKING YOUR SILLY ASSES OVER TO THE CD COVER SECTION AND LOOKING FOR THE OOZING PIG BUNGER....HAHAHAHA
