1. Give us a quick view about why you enjoy doing the blood portraits?

Ive always been drawn to portraiture, and years ago when I was a performer (Viktor 44) It wasn't uncommon to incorporate blood into the act. It all just sort of evolved into what I am doing now. I am all about the aesthetics, symbolism, and dynamics of painting in human blood, Its without a doubt a passion and perhaps even a calling.

2. How does punk rock influence your art?

I was an outcast in a small town growing up, never fit in, nor did I want to, I found punk rock and art at an early age and used both as coping tools to get me through a fairly miserable hand I was dealt in the card-game of life. Kind of developed the philosophy: "If you cant join 'em, beat 'em" and developed a taste for provocation. Ive learned to stay true to myself and not worry about if my decisions in art are provocative or offensive to the status quo, and if that aint punk rock I dont know what is. Because of that it has become a goal to paint a lot of punk rock portraits utilizing the performers blood. Lets face it, life is temporary and in 20-50 years when my subjects and I are only a memory the fact that the paintings remain will be leaving relics of our little slice of time/(sub)culture.

Pirates Press and GZ Media Unveil Brand New Vinyl Record Pressing Machine

Pirates Press and GZ Media Unveil Brand New Vinyl Record Pressing Machine

Getting vinyl records made can be a game called, hurry up and wait. When we are producing vinyl records we do our best to keep bands, fans and customers all up to date on when an exact arrival time might be and it can be quite daunting. Crazy to think, but at one time the exact color we were needing was out of stock far and wide and red vinyl was on hold until more pellets could be produced. Another time, we got so far behind as the manufacturer put our project behind another larger one, causing a full month delay. 

The headaches can go on and on as vinyl records are a tedious process, so it is great news to hear about Pirates Press doubling down and further developing their production process. We can thank them for the stupendous work on our picture disc on the GG Allin / Antiseen record. They are great to work with and have very competitive pricing.

ANTiSEEN Teaming Up With Avril Lavigne?

Truth is stranger than fiction and we have some odd news to showcase for sure. Did you ever think that Antiseen would team up with Avril Lavigne or that GG Allin would be aligned with Lady Gaga? Well, a mashup DJ in Florida thinks it is possible and posted some damn awful noise tracks to showcase the idea. We are for the most part out of words on this one, but the facts need to be reported...

Flat Tires and Murder Junkies - Charlotte Invasion

If you are anywhere near the legendary Milestone club in Charlotte, NC get out to this show. Not only is it one of the longest running punk clubs in the good ol' USA but its going to be one hell of a rowdy good time.

GG Allin & Antiseen Are Taking Over Best Buy

GG Allin & Antiseen are taking over Best Buy? Or should we say, that GG Allin & ANTiSEEN got Best Buy's attention as they need to sell the picture disc to beef up their punk rock vinyl presence and street cred as a retailer. In a time when music is just about free, due to it being downloadable from all sorts of random sites, having our entire catalog slowly being picked up by Best Buy is killer. With more and more independent music stores being shuttered and most music sales heading towards live shows and online sales exclusively, we are stoked to have our releases more widely available in such a manner.

But hey, you can still always get those releases directly from us in our store. Click the artist drop down menu in the top right corner and click on Antiseen. How easy was that?

GG Allin Halloween Mask

Everyone's favorite holiday may be a ways off but why not get prepared well in advance. If you don the mask surely you have to go ape shit and start singin' your personal favorite GG song. For me its "I Love Nothing". Check out this mask makers work as its top notch and at the same time dig into the Vice Magazine blog as that is where I found the link.
