I think we’ve been in lockdown for a month or so now – frankly, I’m losing track. I’ve been keeping busy, working on new art 
I’m still making these things – I was planning on finally doing Flatstock this year at SxSw, but, well, this whole viral apocalypse thing happened. However, all these fine prints AND MANY MORE are all available in my Bigcartel store, so order a few and we’ll pack ’em up and ship ’em out to you, Dear Patron.

Before the world started to end, I did a really stupid thing and bought another old car.
My pal Mark Skipper found this cool handmade C Cab body down in SoCal. Constructed in the 70s for a street rod project, it sat unloved behind a shop for years until he took it home and started putting this crazy thing together, a period-correct late 60s/early 70s street rod. As soon as he put photos up on his instagram, I said something like “if you ever want to sell that LMK” and thus, my fate was sealed. As these things go, Mark found another cool project (a ’33 roadster) and sold the C Cab to me to open up space in his shop.
The C Cab moved back down to So Cal, so my buddy Dave Shuten could slot it into his busy schedule. Dave is the master of custom car fabrication and restoration – He’s not only restored more than a few legendary showcars, he’s built a clone of Big Daddy Roth’s Mysterion, restored Roth’s “lost” Orbitron showcar, and built some amazing cars of his own like the Iron Orchid. In other words, the perfect guy to do this right.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t expecting a pandemic to derail my plans, so for the moment, the C Cab sits in his shop, waiting for me to make some money. Dave will be keeping busy with his new TV show, anyway.

Boredom makes a man do strange things, so here I am, lifting up the rusty hood of my old blog, hooking up the jumper cables to bring it back to life.
We’re in day 3 of voluntary exile – Alex got out of school a day early before next week’s planned Spring Break, and I’m not sure if he’s going back to school after that. My wife is very lucky to have a job that was already cool with working from home (she’s been working on projects in L.A. from our new home in Austin for a year now.) As for me, well, I’m an ARTIST, don’t cha know, so slacking off and sitting around the house like a slob is coded in my DNA.
Hopefully my business won’t take too bad a hit, even though I’ve already seen three money-making public events get cancelled or rescheduled. My thinking is that after a few more days in voluntary quarantine, people will get bored and start buying dumb junk online, and I have been in the dumb junk purchased online business for literal decades now.
So I’m gonna start blathering on about stuff here, like an Internet OG. I’ll include photos and links and whatnot, maybe I can alleviate someone else’s boredom for a bit, maybe you’ll go buy some stickers or something in thanks. We’ll see.

I’m cleaning/organizing all my flat files, and finding all kinds of stuff that I thought was long gone – most notably, small batches of silkscreen prints that I thought were long gone! I’ve put a bunch up in my Bigcartel store – quantities are small (under 5) for most of them, so don’t wait if you see something you have to own!

LEGGINGS! I’ve got some killer new product in my Threadless store – leggings covered in all my filthy artwork! Go grab a few pairs while there’s FREE SHIPPING in my Artist’s Shop!

Since my tumblr will probably be deleted soon due to boobies, I guess I’ll start posting stuff over here again.
Here’s a photo of Lady Krondor, just to let you know I mean business. Let the filth flow!
I’ve set up a mailing list to keep people up to date on new prints, projects and pagan rituals. If you care to subscribe, click on the link & offer up your email to my dark masters:
