Jesu video, Europe, Art show

L'Oreille Cassée


The ceiling of our apartment caved in so Brian Linek and I made this video for Jesu's "Why Are We Not Perfect" from the Jesu/Eluvium split LP.
Also, Akina and I are going to Germany and (probably) Italy the first week and a half of September. Got some spare euros?
Also also, I have a solo art show at CalArts October 14th-19th that I am not working on enough.

Moved, Movie, Moving

We moved near Los Feliz. It's nice. Hardwood floors, high ceilings. Akina is an intern at Black Dragon Society, and I might be soon. I got a $2500 grant from the Alumni fund to make a movie about three kids raised in a cult who drive across the desert in an old volvo going to thrift stores. I'll probably be shooting on a Panasonic DVX-200. A notch below the HVX-200, but almost my ideal. I need to hammer down a schedule. And maybe script some of it. We are working on canvas totes in addition to all the other stuff that I haven't finished yet.
Tomorrow there is an opening at Black Dragon in Chinatown, as well as some other galleries. Come, it should be fun.
Also, Mike Mills sent me these links to five videos he made for the new Blonde Redhead album 23. They are some of the best videos I have ever seen. You will laugh, you will cry, you will not puke. This is not Wayne's World. Check them out and show all your friends.
This one has Miranda July doing one pose per second:
Blonde Redhead - Top Ranking
This one is incredibly visual:
Blonde Redhead - Silently
This one made me cry:
Blonde Redhead-The Dress
This one is beautifully subtle:
Blonde Redhead - Impure Hair
This one is a recut of Titanic:
Blonde Redhead - 23
Good stuff, no?

Making Stuff

I'm working on some stuff right now, like a new zine in a new format, a Skelekid limited edition print, the Robot & Ninja comic, the script for the Skelekid graphic novel, music, and some videos.
I've been transforming bass tabs into sheet music so Akina can play them on her cello. We are working on some sweet covers. Maybe we will even perform them one day.
Coachella has pretty much lost its allure for me.
I really want a Panasonic AG HVX-200. My birthday is July 19th.

RIP Keyboard

I just uploaded the Keyboard Funeral video and added it to the gallery. It might be my favorite video I've made so far. It's almost ten minutes long, so those with extreme ADD be warned.
I also started the script for the Skelekid graphic novel, which will hopefully become a film later on. Pray for me.

New Drawings

I just put a bunch of pics of drawings I have done lately into the gallery. I like them. A couple of them are even in color! Also, there are a couple of new color chioces for Lanky Monsters in the store. Check it out.
PS The Arcade Fire's new album is really good. I mean I am predicting it will be. Shh.

Lovestruck Lanky Monster

Lovestruck Lanky Monsters are here! Check them out in the store! Out in time for Valentine's Day! Many varieties being made in limited editions, so check back often. 10% of all proceeds are donated to charity, just like the rest of the stuff in the store! I'll have some more non-clothing items up soon-ish.

Ah Want Mah Mummy

Hey gang, I just added the "A Ninja Could Kill You Easily" shirt to the store. I have sizes Small through X-Large. I promise I will add some non-shirt items very soon. And if you are on the mailing list there will be an opportunity to get one of them for free.
I am leaving to sell shirts at the Bob Marley festival at Pitzer College. So if you are around there tonight, look for me. Otherwise come to the Glasshouse next Saturday (November 11th) for the first Glasshouse swap meet. Then stick around for the Islands show. It is gonna be blasty blast.
