Here’s a new video that Rob and I made for Bobby Birdman’s new CD/LP, available now via Fryk Beat Records.
A cool print show curated by Seripop & Lumpen makes its way now to NYC. Includes works by Le Dernier Cri, Xander Marro, Lief Goldberg, Zeloot, and Seripop (Montreal). I believe I have something in there as well.
Here’s my latest drawing zine, The Puzzle, courtesy of Editions Du 57: 16 pages noir et blanc, format 11 x 15 cm, 50 exemplaires, 5 euros.
Here’s a little animation I put together for The Parenthical Girls’ upcoming release. Its a quick and and dirty treatment based on the splendid cover art by David Shrigley. To me quick and dirty is the the best way to approach his work since its not not about being precious, and generally everything you see that he draws is done on the first take. That is, of course, part of what I love about his drawings-oh and yeah, they’re often a tad humorous as well. This is a bit of a return to some short promo animations I did for Shrigley’s Worried Noodles release a few years back, which I also highly recommend, especially if you can find the vinyl pressing.
New Parenthetical Girls EP available November 3rd, 2009 via Tomlab. Four songs and four poems from the archives of Ivor Cutler. Limited Edition 10″ (500 copies!) and Digital only.
I totally forgot about this, but I discovered this old photo of when Zeloot and I started a T-Shirt line a few years back and never really “went public” with it. I don’t even have copies of any of the shirts myself, but we had fun making them and and screening them on 2nd hand shirts; hopefully Zeloot passed them onto friends after I left Den Haag. One shirt was this sort of mushroom face of collaborative drawings, another we did of tons of little heads (similar to the mural we did later that summer) and then there was this unhappy stabby character I made… We named the line after news headline that summer about a guy in Amsterdam that tried to “free the soul” of his dog with a knife and the authorities tried to use the incident as a reason to ban mushrooms in The Netherlands but it turned out he wasn’t on mushrooms after all, just plain crazy. I guess that ties in to both the mushroom design and the knife guy design, although we thought the name sounded like a good hippy commune at the time… Wish I had some of these shirts now!
This is an animated music video that I made for the Japanese band iLL.
