Wacky




I'm a Wacky packs JuNkY. So when I saw this little book up at green Apple in SF I snatched it up and held it tight.
As it says on the back it's the first ever compilation of series one through series seven from '73 and '74. It's pretty thick and weighs in at 237 pages. It's hard cover and the jacket resembles that cool wax paper the card/stickers used to come in.
It's also got a bonus sticker glued to the back cover witch I'm fucking dying to open!
Back in '03 I did a collaboration poster with the Firehouse and we did a Wacky packs parody.
I dug the end result but I'm not sure people got it.
It makes more sense when you put the poster and the WP wrapper side by side.

Ten essential records June '08



Ten essential records.
Not a "Donny's top ten" but a few of my faves in no particular order.
Lets just say I pulled these from my collection and stuffed them in my backpack when I moved to California.

Villain of the week "Calibus"



You might think it's easy to pic a "Villain of the week" but it's not, it's hard! I mean these are well though out, these villains are bad ass! This week's villain is our good pal Calibus from a little 80's flick Clash of the Titans, which by the way is overflowing with bad guys.
Calibus is hip in the swamp he rules. He rocks the fro-mullet and he rocks it well.
It's not easy being and 80's villain these days, he's got to deal with the growing threat of gang violence, extortion and getting your trees tagged. The swamp just isn't the same old swamp any more, times are changing and with them old Calibus keeps his pimp hand strong!
Did I mention he's got some cool horns and a bad ass gold ring? (I don't think it's a magic ring Oriana, but we can pretend). Legend has it he used to be good but got caught doing some bad shit, so Zeus was like "Fuck you dude, go live in the swamp and drink stale lake water" That's why he looks so bad, from the lake water. Must be murder on your liver.
He looses his hand in Clash of the Titans, but that's just a movie, I don't think it happened in real life.

Van-O-the week "Rock the Casbah"...had to.



Paint!

Shopping mall guitar guy


Oriana, Trev and I ran into Shopping mall guitar guy last week in Ottawa on our way to the liquor store.
Buddy was amazing, had a mic hanging from the tree branch.
The cashier at the Liquor store said guitar guy was there every day rain, snow or shine.
He was making a racket, it was great.

"Wizard is my dad"


My buddy Paul Spence on one hungover morning last week at our place in SF.

New Trev art Dolls.


My friend Trev has been hard at work on a new series of deformed dolls.
When Oriana and I visited his studio in Ottawa he had an entire table filled with them.
This is one of two dolls Trev gave us.
He's in the process of making you tube movies with them.
They should be posted on his myspace for sale soon.

Villain of the week "The Monarch"




The monarch is rad, he's got a flying cocoon and henchmen that look like Arthur from the tick.
Oh, this is from the Venture Bros, if you haven't seen it what are you waiting for?

Van-O-the week is back! (06 05 08)



Back from vacation, enjoy van of the week!

In Canada


I'm in Canada for about a week.
Got some cool photos.
These were all up and down the Highway from Ottawa to Montreal.
Oriana liked them so I thought I would post this pic.

Andy Takakjian


This is all I have left from my skate days in the 80's.
I got this from my buddy Luke.
This graphic was done by Andy Takakjian.
He did allot of the art for Vision in the 80's from what I know.
I read somewhere he did this cut & past and a Sharpie marker.
