HOLY SHIT: The Art of Alan Suicide Vega
“My sculpture is an example of Punk visually, a not-give-a-shit attitude about just piling up a load of garbage and proving it could look good too… I found TVs in the street… I would go into these light stores and shove lights into my pockets… occasionally I throw in radios… four or five radios playing different stations… People won’t get close to the sculpture… there are lots of broken wires, smashed bulbs, chains, broken glass, and other kinds of things that just threaten people” - Alan Vega. Primarily known as co-founder with Martin Rev of the legendary NYC duo Suicide, Alan Vega (aka Alan Bermowitz) began his prolific career as a visual artist. Read the rest of this entry »

Coyotes in My Backyard: TRAVIS MILLARD
Founder of the Fudge Factory Comics publishing company in 1997, Los Angeles-based artist Travis Millard marvellously combines social and political irony with absurdity in his theatrical yet overtly bizarre and hilarious pen and ink drawings on paper. Primarily influenced by skateboarding graphics, horror movies, punk rock and comics, Travis Millard has always been exploring and experimenting with new ideas, mediums and techniques as a means to convey humour and to provide for a low-key satire built around a series of open-ended sketches on common things.

Tapes’n’Tales: JOHN CASEY
Human instinct cannot be destroyed but can only be transformed into other states, altered reflections, distorted perceptions of ourselves. The idea of transformation which forms the basis of Oakland-based artist John Casey’s work is subtly internalized and provides for a meaningful symbolic representation of the state of duality we constantly experience in the world and within our own selves.

DON’T FEED THE MONSTERS: Jakob Tolstrup
Riotously honest and outrageously humorous , Danish artist Jakob Tolstrup’s artistic oeuvre is a treasury of illustrated caricatures of modern society in all its ordinary eccentricities. Born in 1983, Tolstrup has a background in graffiti which inspired him to expand his own artistic experimentation with a variety of techniques, materials and mediums, including paintings, sculpture, drawing and mixed media on canvas. Although his painterly style shares some similarities with Mad Magazine’s iconography, his works tend to expose the social forces that direct human (and animal) behavior in a quite unique and personal way. Jakob Tolstrup has recently exhibited some of his works of art at Voo Store in Berlin. Today we talk to the artist about the past experiences and cultural influences that affected his art.
