finally got around to recovering stuff from that dead hard drive, and speaking of resurrecting the dead, i’ll be posting some golden oldies from the last year or so that i never got to put up. first off is the amazing Zombies In Love opening this past February at Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra. it was an evening of romance and body parts. check out the pics here.
Stuntkid’s pretty girls in comic book-stylings portfolio is one of jesus satan’s absolute faves, and a group show featuring his sexy candy-colored ladies is going to be too good to miss. as a bonus, four other lumniaries in the field are showing their illustrative wares. respective sites: Stuntkid, Nomi Chi, James Flames, Eliza Frye, JJ Villard, and the show goes off Saturday, February 20th at Miss Scarlet in the Parlor, 1282 W Sunset, 90026. (Villard is also showing tonight at Gallery Nucleus’ Zombies In Love show, with other pieces from a whole grip of good folks. zombies and love, how could it go wrong?)
Stuntkid - Anatomical Apnea (yes, THAT Apnea)
Nomi Chi - Angels Eyes
Eliza Frye - In Bed Alone
JJ Villard - Got To Get Tough
James Flames - Splitting Headache Jay Reatard at Orange Peel, Ashevill, NC (RIP, Jay)
sadly, i came to Olly Moss through hipster swine indie multiconglomerate Threadless, but to his credit, Moss’ In Case Of Zombies design was the very first Threadless shirt to hook me in like heroin way back when… Threadless has kind of lost its way over the last couple years, but Moss is still right on track.
Moss takes a big ol’ spoonful of influence from Saul Bass‘ iconic movie poster and title design work, and spices it all up with a heaping dash of clever. really, his whole porftolio from prints to graphics to t-shirts is wonderfully sardonic, whimsical stuff, and i wish i could post it all, but instead you’re going to have to go to his website to see that this Moss sure gathers a lot of rock! ha! Moss? rock? ’cause… the… rock gathers no… his name is… oh fucking forget it.
anyways, you all know how much i like art that celebrates my sadly misspent childhood. now it’s “culturally relevant”! so go to his site and buy stuff.
(p.s. for a fun game, if you look through the models on the Threadless site, you’ll find an ex-gf of jesus satan…. but i’m not tellin’ who. i’ll leave that up to the police to figure out… ahhh, internet. when will you let me escape my past?)
What Would jesus satan do?
Construction signs warn of zombies:
Hackers change public safety message

AUSTIN (KXAN) – Austin drivers making their morning commute were in for a surprise when two road signs on a busy stretch of road were taken over by hackers. The signs near the intersection of Lamar and Martin Luther King boulevards usually warn drivers about upcoming construction, but Monday morning they warned of “zombies ahead.”
“I thought it was pretty funny,” said University of Texas sophomore Jane Shin, who saw the signs while driving down Lamar Bouelvard with friends Sunday night. “We wondered who did it.”
The City of Austin does not own the signs, but they are responsible for the message. The contractor on the construction project owns the signs. A city spokesperson said the hacked messages were only up for a few hours, until the construction project manager saw them during his morning commute and immediately ordered them to be changed back.
“Even though this may seem amusing to a lot of people, this is really serious, and it is a crime,” said Austin Public Works spokesperson Sara Hartley. “And you can be indicted for it, and we want to make sure our traffic on the roadways stays safe.”
