The Initiation - Opening Night



The show opened last night, thanks anyone that came down and hung and drank. Derek sold a whole heap of stuff .... thats 'cos his works the boss.



You know it was a good night when a man buys you flowers, you drink Colt 45, Gator and Whisky and when you look at ya camera the next morning these are the only pictures on there......



McFly got on really well with the hottest girl he'd ever met..... and then buggered it right up when he got thrown out of the bar, threw up, and then passed out in a bush. Spending the rest of the night a sleep in the back of Dereks car.



I just wanna say a massive thanks to Derek for making this all happen and to Bobby for letting me crash at their house. You guys rule.... good people!

DETHKILLS - studio and screen print



Yesterday, we went over to the Dethkills dudes studio to make some shirts and prints. Derek and myself (more derek) made a very Limited run of Wickerman screen prints to sell on the Dethkills site.



The set up Chris, Bobby and the others have is pretty sweet, I know that Hamgtime Stu would be stoked to see it.



Derek got his print on.....



But soon he started stressing.... he's like Laup, if you ask him why he's stressing, it really stresses him out. Bobby and me wound him up a treat, sorry Desmond.



Chris printing the Dethkills order for Supreme..... thats right Dethkills is in bed with the deavy hitters!!



Bobby made the screens....




The set up....



Early yesterday Jack and young man and epic playboy legend "McFly" got into town, to shred and come to the show tonight!!!



Bobby and Derek are letting us all crash on their living room floor....cheers dudes.



Last night Bobby and Derek had a shit load of people over for a BBQ and beers.



This man prooved that the american way ..... bigger is better..... more Miller, the champagne of beers.

Burn the Witch - Hanging



Derek and myself spent all day at the gallery yesterday hanging the show. Derek's a gallery machine and framed up all his work and hung all his work in mathmatical precision. He also helped me hang my work.





A good music selection always aids this process...........



This the 1st time I've ever hung a show thats entirely work in pencil and also with out frames. But I thinks it gonna be ok.

Starting the Initiation



Here's another action shot of the zine Derek has put together for the show. Its really rad, limited to 45 copies....





Obviously I thought I was the only person who has a stupid crack in my windscreen on my Rover. Derek's has 2 massive cracks either side like this..... It might be that rad people have broked windscreens?





Driving in LA blows goats, this is proof.



Yesteday we spent the day in the gallery, the space we have has been blacked out. So I painted this massive picture of satan on the wall. Derek helped me out loads by painting in the space around it. The dudes a work horse!!



You too could paint this in 4 and half hours if you listen to Sadomator, Archgoat and Malignancy really load....
