Hi-Fructose Article

I am featured in issue #7 of Hi-Fructose with a four page spread and a nice article written by Nathan Spoor. Hi-Frucose always profiles interesting artists and the layout and printing is consistantly beautiful. It's well distributed here in the US, so if you don't order it online, you can probably find it on your city's finer magazine racks.

Freak Wave & Zeke Bazaar

I have recently been featured in a couple European magazines. The first is the beautiful little French book Freak Wave - La Vague Scélérate, compiled by Anne Van Der Linden and Olivier Allemane.

With a fantastic cover by Mia Makila, this little gem includes visuals and writing by Anne Van der Linden, Jean-Louis Costes, Pascal Doury, Lyzane Potvin, and Chicago friends Public Collectors among many others.

Four of my paintings are paired with the writing of Cristophe Siebert. It is in French and I can only gather a vague sense of what it is about. Fucking corpses and merde. A perfect match.

The book is published by Orbis Pictus and unfortunately the page for the book is devoid of any information. Contact Orbis Pictus for more info.

There will be an accompaning gallery show for the book release. I will post more information as the date approaches...
Galerie Les Singuliers
138 bd Haussmann
Paris 8ème
March 23 to April 5


The second book is Zeke Bazaar- a black and white behemoth with a spectacular screenprinted cover. It is put out by Plin Tub in Belgium and has a very limited print run. Sadly, due to time constraints at the time, I was only able to send in one drawing.

The book contains some of my favorite inkers such as Craoman and Gnot Guedin. It can be ordered here.

Sonovachicken & Angels

Recently, a couple videos that I was involved in years ago have popped up on YouTube. The first is Sonovachicken by Piotr Tokarski.



This was filmed in an abandoned house that my roommate found somewhere around the corner from where we lived in Humboldt Park. For mysterious and unknown reasons, the inside of this house had a four-foot deep carpet of junk that spread over every room. Amazing junk! Typewriters! Sewing Machines! Film Projectors! Reel-to-reel tapes! Books! It was as if someone took an entire pawn shop and dumped it in this house for storage. Judging by the calanders, clothes and pornography that was strewn around, I would guess that all this crap was discarded around 1979. Aside from a couple syringes on the back deck, the place surprisingly had not become a junkie hideout. The only occupant was an old sick dog who would meekly raise his sad eyes up at us and walk away, hobbling over the piles of garbage. The building must have been heavily fortified for years and the only reason why my roommate found it was because they had started to tear down the surrounding wood fence for the building's demolition.

My roommate, who was a compulsive junk collector, made daily treks to the house, hauling home many treasures. He would often stay there until morning, digging through the depths of garbage. I only visited the place a couple times because honestly, in addition to it being in a real shitty neighborhood, the place was spooky. The basement seemed to have suffered a fire at one time, the plaster walls were peeled and cracking and every surface was covered in filth. There were still remnants of past occupants such as a suit hanging in the closet, dishes in the cupboards, and a kitchen table set up with chairs.

Another derelict building stood beside the junk house but it was inpenetrable. My roommate was determined to break in but could not find a way. He eventually laid a long plank out the window, connecting the two buildings. According to him, the sight inside the second building was more beguiling than the first- old clothes packed every room, a sea of moldy fabric almost as high as the ceiling. Unfortunately, no junk treasures, just clothes and mold spores.

This video is a funny little homage to the house, I suppose. I come home, beat the hell out of a chicken and hug the wife. We shot it in a couple hours...Piotr directed, I did the organ music and Wheat edited the sound and visuals.

The garbage paradise only lasted a couple weeks and soon the house of piles was bulldozed into a pile of rubble. Aside from a couple rolls of lost film and this video, we unfortunately did not document this peculiar dump.

Next up is a music video for Angels by Bobby Conn directed by Usama Alshaibi.



This video features plenty of mugging and facial cortortions by me. I can't really say I like narrative in music video so much, but this is such a ridiculous parody of early 80s videos that I can forgive it. And I look pretty good before I became all fat and bloated.

I was excited to take part in a Bobby Conn project as he has been a big inspiration to me since I moved to Chicago years ago. I first saw him perform with an ad hoc group opening for The Make-Up. With the band's mutant funk and Bobby's psychotic caterwauling, they blew the kitschy and derivative Make-Up off the stage. Bobby's music and aesthetic has changed over the years, going from no-wave/prog clang and clamor to David Bowie sweet balladry but he has always managed to bring his demented take to the table.

I had worked on a couple videos and films with Usama before (such as Fairyland). Usama and his wife Kristie used to run a small film festival called Z Film Fest that would focus on sexually deviant experimental shorts...something you don't get much of in the conservative Midwest. Usama recently finished up the documentary Nice Bombs about his travels back to his home country of Iraq amidst the turmoil of occupation.

Medusa Heap

Here is my Medusa Heap- a culmination of a year and a half of layering, sanding down, painting over and building back up of tangled flesh and garbage. The composition is superficially based on Gericault's Raft of Medusa.


Medusa Heap

36" x 49"

This painting was originally inspired by the Killdozer- a heavily fortified bulldozer that Marvin Heemeyer, a disgruntled muffler shop owner, built in order to demolish the town hall of Granby, Colorodo.

From Wikipedia:



The piece of construction equipment used in the incident was a Komatsu D335A bulldozer fitted with makeshift armor plating covering the cabin, engine and parts of the tracks. In places, the vehicle's armor was over one foot thick, consisting of concrete sandwiched between sheets of steel to make ad-hoc composite armor. This made the machine impervious to small arms fire and resistant to explosives; three external explosions and over 200 rounds of firearm ammunition fired at the bulldozer had no effect on it. National Guard units were placed on standby orders under Governor Bill Owens, as the deployment order has to be made directly from the Governor due to requirement of Posse Comitatus Act.

For visibility, the bulldozer was fitted with three video cameras linked to monitors mounted on the vehicle's dashboard. Onboard fans and an air conditioner were used to keep Heemeyer cool while driving and compressed air nozzles were fitted to blow dust away from the video cameras. Food, water and life support were present in the almost airtight cabin. Heemeyer had no intention of ever leaving the cabin once he entered; the hatch was permanently sealed.



I was obsessed with the Killdozer picture above- it represented a lifetime of frustration culminating in a grand gesture of destruction but also of essential failure. The photo itself is a sad little thing...the Killdozer seemingly immobile and dead, a ramshackle pile of concrete and steel. I originally wanted to convey this and I think I was successfull, but as I worked into the piece more, I found the limitations of the rudimentary composition very aggravating. So, like the Killdozer, I did my own destruction and the piece ended up as a heap of tangled shit pushed up against a tree and forgotten, just as Marvin Heemeyer became after he shot himself in the Killdozer cabin after his fantastic rampage.

Pancakes Soaked, Started Bucking

Another new painting. As with most of my paintings, you would not believe the tranformations this fucker went through before I pulled it together at the last minute. The legs are the only remnant of the original. Maybe next month I will put together some tedious process posts so you can see my time consuming and retarded way of going about things...oh, but that's why it's so fun.

Empty Magazine Feature



I am featured in the latest issue of Empty, an arts magazine from Australia. I haven't recieved my copy yet but I hear the magazine is thick with fantastic artists (friends such as Travis Louie and Heiko Mueller!), high quality printing and no ads. You can order your copy from the Design is Kinky store.
