it's embarrasing to watch myself try and give an art lesson when i was 24, i have nothing to teach, i'm just trying to get through the day just like everyone else, it's bad enough i have yugioh/dragonball hair.
today was a good mail day
the advance copies of my book just arrived!!! yes!!!!
it's been over 10 years in the making, i 'm extremely excited,happy and proud of the work that went into this,
i can't wait for you all to see this, if you are not familiar with my books and printed works, here's one glowing review:
"There are a million writers who live wilder than what he pretends to be and don't feel the need to make a fakeass video to promote themselves.The guy is a dick plus he has no style either.
You fanboys are suckers to be taken in by it.
Jackass wannabe. This is exactly where the whole artfag thing came from. How big can this guys head get? Why not learn to paint instead of sucking your own dick?"
awesome! if you are new to my work and just recently heard about me through my issue of JUXTAPOZ and you liked that issue, this book is close to 300 pages with no ad's and is like that issue of JUX but more raw and hyped up on Heisenberg's blue shit.
the book won't be out officially for another month or so, but you can pre-order it right now , right here
ps. it's hardcover
pss. it's gonna come wrapped in plastic ,because they dont want kids to open it in the bookstore because of the explicit material.
psss. it's my first book to be published by a real legit publishing house, but none of the book has been edited or censored for content, so it will be just as fucked up as all my self-published books, but it's just gonna look nicer.
pssss. i'm gonna do a signing for this book in the bay at SFMOMA on july 8th, san diego comicon, and various GIANT ROBOT stores, stay tuned for exact dates and other spots....
pssss. when you hold something white like a piece of paper or envelope up to the spine. the book fucking glows! because i used two of the most obnoxious and favorite colors for the spine, fools gold and radioactive orange!
psssss. i love you
also coming very soon
for those of you who enjoyed my show "NOTHING TO DECLARE" in los angeles , and wanted to get some prints, of the watercolors and larger paintings, coming very very soon, i will announce 2 different print portfolio sets, GOLD and SILVER, they both come with a custom made silk screened portfolio case, with 3 different 18 by 24 inches, prints from the show all signed by me, and an original spraypaint drawing on the inside flap of the case, they'll be 38 editions made of each set, and will retail for $888 dollars each, get one or get them both, these will be available on the TRAPEZE EDITIONS site , over here. but not quite yet, so be ready and be patient.
