I am participating in the "VON DOOM" show curated by Alex Braubach and held at the Ever Gold Gallery in San Francisco during the month of October. Opening reception: Thursday, October 1st. 6-9 pm Closing reception: Saturday, October 31st, Halloween Party! 6-9 pm "Von Doom" is a celebration of heavy-metal inspired art with a focus on image-makers of the current metal scene. This exhibition, on display during October, brings together a variety of artists hailing from places as far away as the U.K. and Australia. The collection in the front room gallery will focus on drawings and prints in various degrees of brutality, un-holiness and gore. Much of the art on display can be found again as album art, tour posters and t-shirts. The backroom will harbor a large-scale installation conceived and created by two San Francisco local metal headz. Inspired by San Francisco's own "Hell-o-ween" Black Metal Festival, this show is an ode to the music that spawns cross eyed goat heads, summons the apocalypse and paints itself in corpse paint. Nothing is sacred - all is doom. Artists: Andrei Bouzikov Ben Venom Clint Smith French Glenn Smith Jeremy Simmons Justin Bartlett Paul Alexander Thornton Son of Witz http://evergoldgallery.blogspot.com

Baker and Leary rode their Triumphs down to the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline Massachusetts on Sunday. As Americas oldest car museum, they have a really cool and interesting permanent collection of classic cars and motorcycles and a revolving door of new exhibits and events. Yes, that is a toilet in the back of that car.

I was on the phone with Florian and asked him if he was working on anything and he sent me these pictures nonchalantly. After working on that amazing full color cover illustration he did for 16 I figured maybe he'd be dunking his wrist in a bucket of ice and eating ibuprofen like skittles but he's back to work drawing THIS thing. Here is the proof if you needed it that Florian creates his images by hand without the use of a computer. I'm not sure what we are doing with this but I cant wait because I want one of whatever its going to be.
