When it comes to photography, a lot of Forrest Black’s and my personal work is counterculture portraits we shoot in our trademark location studios. Since the mid-1990’s, we’ve been dragging professional fashion studio lighting into some of the most unlikely places to immortalize that special energy that only really happens in the right environment on […]
The gent with the giant pink mohawk in the photographs below is Clix. Blue Blood VIP members may recognize his name as the photographer with the most cake in shoots with Ultra Happy and others. In addition to putting colorful dessert toppings on colorful raver babes in the desert, Clix knows how to throw a […]
Cyanide & Happiness is doing a Kickstarter for a video game. If you’ve seen antisocially hilarious stick figures comic strips floating around the internet, you are probably familiar with Cyanide & Happiness. Lots of witty ultra violence. Also amusing insights into what people you would actually know in real life are like. If you have […]
So, while I love to travel and I abhor conventional behavior for conformity’s sake, I never really went through a pirate phase. Just never really liked the idea of people who take stuff that doesn’t belong to them, as a way of life. Pirates basically have stealing, not as something they did once or even […]
Forrest Black and I will be showing some Flashback Friday art this evening at The Pleasure Chest in Los Angeles. Our pieces were shot on film and hand-printed in a color darkroom by us. (Color darkroom is a lot like black and white, except you have to do everything in total darkness.) The work we […]
Photographer Allan Amato is working on the sequel to his acclaimed SLIP book. SERAPH is a hardcover coffee table art book, featuring bold nude portraits of bold women ranging from Blue Blood models April Flores and Jiz Lee to my sister Wesleyan alum Amanda Palmer (whose book cover Allan shot) and more. The project also […]
Comic book legend Steve Rude‘s gallery show opened at La Luz de Jesus gallery last night. La Luz is my favorite art gallery in Los Angeles. They bring in more artists whose work I want to see than anyone else. Gallery Director Matt Kennedy and I have been friends for a quarter century now. When […]
I first came across illustrator Dan Smith, when we were both involved in the 1990’s seismic shift in RPG’s towards something a bit more cool and goth flavored. You’ll find some of his art in BLT 25: Black Leather Times Punk Humor and Social Critique from the Zine Revolution. Dan Smith is the only artist […]
One of the highlights of the recent Sexual Health Expo was meeting Shellie, the head honcho of Crystal Delights, so I wanted to spotlight them a bit more here. Crystal Delights makes a variety of really beautiful toys and medical devices. Gothic aficionados will especially appreciate that their work includes gorgeous dildos and butt plugs […]
Guess whose living room is filled with cartons of books! I have a whole lot of copies of BLT 25: Black Leather Times Punk Humor and Social Critique from the Zine Revolution in my living room right now. All the backers of the BLT Kickstarter have BLT in their living rooms (or more debauched places) […]
