Update: May 2010

Hello.

I've just completed the cover art for CONFESSIONS OF A NARCISSIST, the new album by power electronics unit FIRE IN THE HEAD / Michael Page. The album features contributions from Nick Blinko (Rudimentary Peni) and J. Randall (Agoraphobic Nosebleed). Nick Blinko also contributed some of his beautifully obsessive calligraphy for the package interior.

Released 25 May 2010 on Cold Spring Records, UK.

I've also done the cover art for DARK STARS RISING, the new book by Shade Rupe (of the legendary Funeral Party books). DARK STARS RISING collects twenty-seven interviews conducted over twenty-four years with artists, filmmakers, writers, et cetera. In addition to some of my personal favorites -- Brother Theodore, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Gaspar Noe, Hermann Nitsch, Andre Lassen, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, and Crispin Glover -- the book also includes interviews with and contributions from Richard Kern, Buddy Giovinazzo, Udo Kier, Jim VanBebber, Dennis Paoli, Tura Satana, Teller, Peter Sotos, Johannes Schoenherr, Chas. Balun, Divine, Floria Sigismondi, William Lustig, Dennis Cooper, Johanna Went, Zamora the Torture King, Arnold Drake, Richard Stanley, Stephen O’Malley, and Dame Darcy. I also have some artwork reproduced inside...
