Chicago Tribune Review

Corsage #1


Corsage #2

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.

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.

My Ramshackle Studio

A gallery I am showing at asked for some studio pictures to be included on their website. So here you get to see my tiny little studio. It's actually just an extra bedroom in my apartment. It's really all I need as I have been working a bit smaller lately....which I actually hate because all I do is sit cross-legged in that hard chair twiddling away at the painting on my lap. Good thing I'm still young and verile or else I would have an ass full of hemorrhoids and legs full of vericose veins...but I'm sure that's all on the way very shortly.



The third picture is of the only window in the room. Yet another light shaft in a shitty Chicago apartment for the pigeons to squat and shit in. The summer months are coming, but I don't dare to open that fucking window.

Ritualistic School Of Errors - Edinburg Castle - San Francisco 2006

Here is a performance I did last year in San Francisco...reviving my old performance/noise group Ritualistic School Of Errors. Loach Fillet, Drew Zeigler, Sharkiface and Froth Fingers lent their talents to the night's jubilee. Video by Brutallo.



The show was a part of the Resipscent Records release party. There was a little write up in the SF Weekly by Mike Rowell ...

When Chicago-based performance group the Ritualistic School of Errors made its West Coast debut at Edinburgh Castle recently, it was quite the spectacle. Fronted by artist Gregory Jacobsen, the troupe of strangely clad, masked freaks careened through a circus of off-kilter music, spasmodic dancing, and bizarre behavior, with one member liberally smearing his face with spaghetti.

The occasion was the release party for the Ritualistic School of Errors CD/DVD on Resipiscent; packaged with a book of Jacobsen's unsettling art, it's one of seven new releases on the label. Others include CDs by local noise outfits Earwicker, Tarantism, and Critical Monkey, all of which turned in mind-melting sets that evening.



Resipiscent (meaning returning to one's senses) was founded last year by Austin transplant James Decker and longtime local Thomas Day, lead member of Hans Grusel's Krankenkabinet. The indie has spurt forth 19 unusual-sounding, innovatively designed recordings thus far. First release Quarry Tones by Oakland trumpeter Liz Allbee features exquisite compositions and comes in a variety of containers handmade by the artist. Quaak Muttar from Bay Area stalwart Bran (...) Pos is encased in a fully functional miniature pinball game, and features 50 bewildering tracks, most of which are only a few seconds in length.

Other Resipiscent offerings include the electronic-blizzard solo work of Comets on Fire Echoplex-meister Noel Von Harmonson and a 3-inch CD of mesmerizing clangor pounded out on bongs and bent silverware by the Pacific Northwest's mysterious At Jennie Richie. Seven East and West Coast noisemakers collaborate as duos on Mutual Hallucinations Vol. 1, with the kaleidoscopic first track being a sort of sonic exquisite corpse as each musician takes a two-minute turn. The entire album's a heady trip, and a convenient introduction to both the label and several members of its roster.

But the best place to start an exploration of Resipiscent's offerings is the double-disc String of Artifacts compilation (co-released with Oakland's Fish Pies label), which features 35 artists and serves as a good state-of-the-noise primer. Hearing it, one realizes how dynamic the genre is these days, and not just a wall of din.



The first self-titled Ritualistic School Of Errors CD/DVD/Book set is still available from Resipiscent. It chronicles five or six years of my early crap-tastic performances as well as a few film collaborations. Order it HERE!

I am slowly working on a new Ritualistic school Of Errors CD. It's taking a long time- especially with the ridiculous painting deadlines I have. Here is a portion of a recent piece...
