Bad Brains on my instagram

BAD BRAINS - Dr. Know and H. R. - This is one my favorite photos i ever made of them. Live at CBGB's circa 1981, this photo appeared in the original MY RULES photozine i put out in '82, it was also cut in half and used in a poster for their Destroy Babylon record. And its in the new MY RULES book HUGE as well. RECENTLY I gave it to the Bad Brains to make a T-shirt, this is the design, i believe you can get it on their website. This show was during one of the Xmas week series they did in 81 and 82. Gary a.k.a. Dr. Know is in need of help, go to www.gofundme.com/DrKnowBadBrains to find out more and donate if you would like to help him out. #HelpDOC #drKnow #PMA #BADBRAINS #FVK #RIGHTBRIGADE #PUNKROCK #PUNK #WashingtonDC #NYC #inspiration #rockforlife #rockagainstracism #MyRules #GetTheNewBook

Shepard Fairey goes out on a limb, once again, to support a major candidate for President of the United States of America

My good friend Shepard just announced on the internet several hours ago:

Bernie Sanders is the real deal and I feel it’s important for me to voice my support for his bid for President. I think he’s the candidate who will look out for the interest of average Americans and the candidate who to me embodies the principles of justice, equality, liberty, and access to the American Dream. I designed these t-shirts based off what I created for the chilipeppers fundraiser concert, and I’m happy these will help to fund Bernie’s campaign since he absolutely does not take money from corporations or Super PACs. Bernie needs help from people like you and me and I think he’ll look out for the needs of people like you and me. Pick up a t-shirt and help support Bernie Sanders! - Shepard

Anarchy in the Magic Kingdom: Crass/Mickey Mouse tee-shirt hack!

from DangerousMinds:

It appears that someone is having a little fun with the whole “sacrilegious” Disney/Joy Divison tee-shirt controversy...

Some crafty anarcho-inspired culture hackers have made their own Crass/Mickey Mouse mash-up tees and discretely deposited them neatly folded in Disney boutiques. Unsuspecting shoppers will either be baffled or delighted by their DIY creation.

Me, I’m delighted! I need one of these! Now, I’ve got… Mickey envy.

"I STILL HAVE A DREAM"

How 'bout that?

Here's a t-shirt i designed several years ago...

I just saw D-E-V-O !

It's was over THIRTY FUCKIN YEARS AGO that i saw DEVO for the 1st time. They were great then, and pretty fucking cool tonight. My old neighbor and friend Alex Smith asked on his blog some months or weeks back if anyone wanted to join him for this first album on demand type show, I jumped at the chance.

I'm too tired to write much more than it was fun to be there, I'll just quote Alex's blog verbatim as a kind of guest blogger for today: Oh, one other thing i will add that i found a bit curious, was that Devo's stage hand roadie was wearing a Jeff Ho ZEPHYR t-shirt that was clearly visable everytime he would bring out a new guitar or replace a mic... go figure...

So, I caught DEVO again tonight at Irving Pl.... oh, excuse me, The Filmore New York at Irving Plaza. This is about the fifth time I've seen them in as many years (see previous reviews here and here). Tonight was the first of two nights, each devoted to specific albums. This evening's show concentrated on Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo, the band's debut (you can read my breathlessly overwritten praise for that album here). They ran through the album in its entirety, then came back and cranked through "Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA," "Gates of Steel" and "Secret Agent Man." They're still old, grey and fat, but they rocked. I'd normally have more to say on the subject, but it's late and I need to get to bed, but I wanted to post this before my friend Glen (who I went with) got his blog post up. Ha! Herewith some photos of dubious quality from tonight's show. Duty now, spuds

As a little bonus i'll include the graphic below that i designed back in 2004 or so, that i actually got permission from Jerry (Casale) of DEVO to make, but i was never able to get it together with an artist to perfect the design, and since then T-Shirt business and me just don't get along too well anyway... But this woulda been a great one don't you think?
