I posted about this print a little while ago and said it sold out quite fast. I’m partly responsible.

I am starting to like giclee prints are little more these days. I generally don’t pay much attention to them because they are basically a glorified ink jet print and generally cost more than a screen print. I think there is something to be said for prints that have been designed and screen printed by hand.

But this print is testament to what giclee printing can achieve. When looking at the top of the print at the half circle, I actually had the run my hand across to see if the texture of the paint was actually there. I was fooled.

Another incredible piece by Thomas Hooper and another for the collection. Fuck you landlords, let me hang stuff on the walls.

I missed out on this at Daisy Hill over the weekend. I was too busy being a lazy fuck laying on a couch watching movies.

4 metres wide, half a metre deep.

Apparently some guy behind my mate tried riding through it. 1 out of 6 did not eat shit. Perhaps it was the log that was completely submerged.

This is a few weeks old now, but I don’t care.

Faith No More with Eagles of Death Metal show poster for a pre-Soundwave show in Auckland and part of Faith No More’s “The Second Coming” Tour. Probably would of been a sweet show. Poster was a collaboration between Brian Ewing and Buff Monster.

Available here.

I want a human skull, a real one. But for some reason it can be difficult to find and also to afford at times. Over at Land of Skulls they make replicas of human skulls. But not just that, they also have replicas of animals, including extinct. Reasonably affordable. And let’s face it, skulls do look rad.

Tattooist Steven Burlton is the latest artist to join the ranks at Shirts & Destroy. He has two shirts available for the time being. One being a personal design and the other being a design for The Hope Conspiracy.

I have decided to attempt at submitting something in for I Want Your Skull IX. I have an idea that i am going to run with fitting in the theme, now I just have to but it to paper. Deadline is March 31st.
