vantastic voyage

2012-01-12T01:29:00.000-08:00

OK here it is, finally posting this. So I have been secretly working my ass off for the last 8 months on this art show now titled "Vantastic Voyage". 1970's Sci-Fi Fantasy and custom van mural inspired works. I have a series of van murals painted on canvas as well as some black light weirdo art. I have a few more surprises I will be posting between now and the show as well as some (work in progress) video blogs. I also have the mention the Beatniks custom pinball machine will be making it's first pubic appearance on loan from James Hetfield for the opening night. This is my first solo art show of new work. If your around pop by and say hi!

Every day at lunch time I watched the chase scene from Bullitt. This was back when I lived in Montreal. I had the tape next to the VCR queued and read. I would make a grilled cheese sandwich, glass of milk and watch it.

How Lux and Ivy met, get ready to swoooooooon

LUX INTERIOR: First time I saw her she was walking down the street, hitch- hiking, and she was wearing a halter top and short shorts with a big hole in the ass with red panties showing through. I was with this other guy, a friend of mine, and we both just went, "Who-o-o-oh!" We pulled over and I think I had a hard-on about three seconds after I saw her.It was 1972, and we were at Sacramento State college, although saying it was a college is stretching it a bit. You'd get credit for going there and everything, but it was just a bunch of weirdoes. It was crazy. Half the teachers were just fucking the students and getting paid for it. It was really a great time, those days. Really a creative environment.We had to register for our classes and we had this pamphlet in the car that told you what classes you could take, and one was called Art and Shamanism. I remember I said: "What is shamanism?" She explained it to me, and I thought, boy, that sounds pretty interesting, I think I'll take that. And then when I showed up for that class she was there.

I remember the first day of that class, the teacher had us all sit around in a circle on the floor and hold hands. It was some kind of weird exercise, some mumbo-jumbo crazy cult thing where there was supposed to be energy which would fly around clockwise, and then he made it go counter-clockwise. It was great, it really worked, but just holding hands with her I felt about a thousand times the energy that I was getting from him.She's incredibly beautiful, that was the first thing I noticed. And then when I talked to her she was incredibly smart, too. We just had a bond. A week and a half, maybe two weeks later we started living together. We just couldn't hard- ly stand to be away from each other. People would even tell us: "That's not right, it's not healthy, you guys shouldn't be spending all your time together." And they tell us that to this day.

It was a while on before the group actually happened. All my life I'd been to see rock'n'roll bands, but I'd never quite been in one myself until I met her. I remember her saying, "Well, we should do that", and I'd say, "Well, yeah, I guess we could do that", and she'd go, "Of course we could do it!" I think we just talked each other into it. Sometimes you have friends and they'll talk you out of doing things. They'll say: "You? Oh yeah, sure." But the same thing can happen, you'll meet someone who'll talk you into doing things, too. If I hadn't met Ivy I might just still be going to rock'n'roll shows.

She's really courageous and she's really smart. At first, when we started out we just wanted to have fun and we didn't want to have anything to do with the business part of all this band stuff, but every time we've tried to have somebody manage us it's been some kind of a bad experience, so she's taken over managing the band and she really does it great. That's why the Cramps are still around after all this time, because she cares about it and she's capable of unbelievable acts.This is our dreamchild or something, this is something that we make and we do together, and we're real protective of it. And we're also appreciative of the fact that we invented this thing called the Cramps, and from that has sprung a subculture of people all over the world, and we feel we're representative of them. We take that real seriously. We've thought about having children before, but we've always been so busy doing this, and this seems more important to us. We have three cats and we can't even stand to leave them to go on tour. So I don't know how we'd deal with a child.

We're different in a lot of ways. I tend to fly off the handle and go crazy and start screaming and she tends to be a bit wiser and calmer and more patient than I am - before she starts going wild, too. I think she's a lot classier than I am, but I think I've gained a lot of class from her. It's hard to figure out how we're different because we're together all the time and we always do everything together. In a way it's kind of one thing, me and her, but she's also very much an individual and very strong. She grows like a tree. She's faceted like a diamond. There's a million sides to Ivy and I just love all of them.

After my Ottawa show last year Luke and I stayed up all night polishing off a bottle of Jamison talking about a new cartoon idea he had for a White Wires Video.

We wanted to give it a simple old school look, kinda Archie's, kinda Saturday Morning cartoon vibe. When I was done we sent it over to Adam Hughes to work his magic. It's almost a year to the day we birthed this idea. Enjoy my first stab at animation. Thanks Luke and Adam for all your hard work!

What can I say other than this is one of the finest magazines around.

On news stands now.

A little clip from Dan's blog.

So, we got back into the magazine business. But more accurately, we’re building the AUTOCULTURE brand and AUTOCULT is a major force behind it. We’ve designed it to be more of a quarterly museum exhibit catalog –– something meant to be kept and coveted –– dedicated to all the amazing people and things that make car culture one of the most dynamic and beautiful movements of the modern age. Dig on that.

Ben Cooper

2011-10-27T15:00:00.000-07:00

I'm pretty sure every single kid in existence (at least the ones born before 1985) has worn a Ben Cooper costume at least once in their youth. I can remember like it was yesterday. A garishly printed glorified plastic bag and a mask with a mouth slit too small for anything to go through (including air) but you just couldn't help tonguing it (it was maddening!) Said tonguing resulted in cuts no band aid could fix. Ah, the memories.
9 times out of 10 the teeny white string holding the mask in place broke before you were finished trick or treating but who gives a fuck, you looked bitchin man.
I'll tell you what, I would rather wear a Ben Cooper costume for an eternity of Halloweens than see one more sexy nurse/kitten/devil or IRS worker.

Space Babes

2011-09-20T16:00:00.000-07:00

Hello, Oriana here. Taking over the interwebs for a moment.I know last time I posted I mentioned it would be something other than nudie girls, T&A and Farah. Well, sorry dudes. I lied. So try not to be too dissapointed by the hotness that follows. Dry your tears, pull yourself up by your boot straps and lets try and get through this with out too much complaining.

I present....SPACE BABES

Maybe it's the anti gravity, maybe it's the fact that the only appropriate outfits for space are nearly always short, sheer and come with awesome ray gun accessories and if your lucky a rainbow hued skin tone.But there is something about Space Babes that is just....SCHWING!!

I dressed up as a space girl for Halloween one year, complete with green skin. It was by far my most radical outfit ever. I was known as Aerola from the planet LoveUlots. Speaking of Halloween, anyone thought of a good costume yet?

on the road with the white wires

2011-09-04T20:12:00.000-07:00

I spent the last few days driving around with the White Wires. It was nice to get away for a while and spend some time with them. Luke is an old friend and Ian and Allie I have known for a few years through Luke. I have never seen a band get along so well. The shows were amazing as were the bands they played with. What a breath of fresh air. I was really looking forward to seeing Personal and the Pizzas (New Jersey...or are they?) as well as the Mean Jeans (Portland). I planned to document the trip a little better but I was busy having fun so I only got a few photos and some pretty funny video. We partied with the Mean Jeans guys, super nice dudes and funny as shit (see video). So now I'm back home with a fuck-pile of work to do and a month long hangover to deal with but it was all worth it. I'll post more photos soon.

Anywho, I know my two previous posts on Donny's blog have all featured the ladiez. This one is no exception....Sorry 'bout that (not really). I promise my future guest bloggings will contain more than T&A.

I saw this old lady playing the saw today at the farmers market. She was playing along to a tape and had a that little puppet dancing on the chair. My hands were full so I didn't hang out. I hope she's there next week.

I'm blowin' lines of voodoo powder off the back of a monkey's paw in Calcutta..

Some quotes from one the the best cartoons on TV. Metalocalypse being the other BEST cartoon:)
I got this stuff from I LOVE THE VENTURE BROS. facebook page. So go join!

"My dad's lab was like a pharma-chological candy store, so i started real young..Next thing I know, I'm blowin' lines of voodoo powder off the back of a monkey's paw in Calcutta..now i'm all outta wishes..

-Do we have souls?
-Yeah, not quite souls but that's the general idea. Everything has a soul.
-Crap! So I guess I should become a vegetarian?
-No, like everything living has a soul… even spinach. You can't win.

-Dean, stop riding the perfect man. Brock has to kill him now.
-Aww, can’t we keep him?
-Yeah, Dad, can't we? We’ll feed the perfect man and clean up after him and everything. Super swear! Please?
-No. He’s an abomination.

-Oh! That poor woman has the saddest tits. Damned depressing.
-Right! Yeah, they're like The Notebook sad.
-Tits are like coming home from school and finding out your old man ran over your cat sad.
-Mournful. She has mournful tits. They're like two suicide notes stuffed in a glitter bra.
-Those things are like a little kid with progeria cracking all his ribs trying to catch a Nerf ball. Just sad. Damnit she has gloomy tits!
-It's like she put a dollars worth of change into some old socks and then taped 'em to her chest!
-I wanna build two little caskets and give her tits a tasteful, dignified funeral.

-What are you doing to her?
-Um. Giving your robot Chlamydia.

You gotta try this! It feels too good. It feels like somebody with a fever is yelling at my pants.

I just found this record last week in Oklahoma City when I was doing my signing at Size records. It was in the Metal bin. I had to have it for the writing alone.

star wars toys

2011-08-16T10:38:00.000-07:00

So Oriana was taking pics of my Star wars toys and said I should do a blog about them. I've had a few film crews in here and for some reason they always shoot the fucking Star Wars toys. It's not a very impressive collection, I mean, I'm not a real Star Wars collector. I know some people with impressive collections that I couldn't hold a candle to. I just kinda always picked it up from time to time, as a kid, thrift stores and flea markets, it's still pretty cheap. Now, the new reissue stuff, the ships in general are amazing!
Full of detail and sound effects. It's all over youtube, people doing video reviews and making customs, it's off the hook.
My friend, artist Frank Kozik is pretty into Star Wars, he's done some amazing customs. I mean amazing, it's some next level shit!
His collection is pretty darn cool to. He understands the ships, design and art direction. The Vader helmet/mask is his. I have to find more of his work, perhaps a future blog post.
Enjoy:)

creepy tree

2011-08-14T18:46:00.000-07:00

Outside my front window, at the top of Mount Davidson sits the creepy tree.
Oriana and I hiked up today with our lazy yet peppy Pug Brock. It was cool to see the tree up close again. I stair at every day.
I love that tree. This is a shot from my front window and one from the top of the mountain looking back down on my house.
I haven't been posting that much in recent months. I've been very busy with work and projects. I will be posting all this new stuff soon and I promis to get back at it with more Customs vans, art, recipes, giveaways and other wird junk!
Thanks

Americana

2011-07-31T13:30:00.001-07:00

Flea market score today. I think the best thing is this new chain wallet. It's beat pretty good and the metal is nicely pitted. It's got history. I got my first chain wallet when I was 15 and have had one ever since. I've seen the trend come and go threw out the years but always held on to mine. I've never lost a wallet (knock on wood).

wikipedia/Americana - refers to artifacts, or a collection of artifacts, related to the history, geography, folklore and cultural heritage of the United States.

Interview: Dethklok's Brendon Small

2011-07-22T14:48:00.000-07:00

Brendon just sent me a text saying "Dude, I'm showing the Dune guitar for my Guitar world Interview"
So here it is, the Dune guitar in all it's glory.
Interview: Dethklok's Brendon Small at the 2011 Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival
I can't remember exactly how it went down but we were hanging out in Hawaii talking about custom pinball, art and guitars. On the topic of old guitars Brendon mentioned an old Less Paul that he had sitting around in primer. Thats when I said "well...if you ever need it painted...you know who to ask"
Next day, Brendon "How about a Dune guitar?"

Just finished this Dune themed Gibson Less Paul for Brendon Small.
Brendon does the cartoon Metalocalypse
I met Brendon at a friends wedding in Hawaii last year. We started talking about art and music. Turns out we have a bunch of friends in common.
He had seen the guitars I did for Metallica and asked if I would be interested in doing a Dune theme on his Less Paul.
We discussed different ideas and eventually came up with this.
He poped by yesterday to pick it up and was pretty stoked.
I'll have more progress shots and a final photo once Brendon assembles it.
