Through The Looking Glass

I don't know who the artist called "soup" is, but
he's good.
The white rabbit from Alice In Wonderland looks
Disney-Authentic, while the other one does the job
it was intended to do rather well.
Airbrush on brick isn't an easy medium to work in
so I want to take this opportunity to give the guy
a public pat on the back.
This work is outside San Antonio's White Rabbit, a venue for bands young and old, new
and world-famous but mainly that are heavy and loud.
I don't go there myself having gotten the headbanging
and thrashing out of my system years ago, but if I were
18 again the White Rabbit is where I would play.

Riding The Bart

This marks the first time I have ever featured
material that wasn't my own.
Check out this photoblog post by Matthew Robertson.
It's a Zzakk's Garage-style catch that makes me
jealous as all hell.

Pretty Fly For A White Guy

I'm not going to mince words here.
I fucking hate flies.
Moving to upstate New York was my first real exposure
to these aerial bitches.
Bluebottle, greenbottle, house and horse.
The freaking horseflies would wait for you to
get over the last attack psychologically before
nailing you again at the worst possible moment.
It felt like someone jabbing a rusty icepick into
your arm, leg, and/or face.

Conditions in my current part of the world don't favor
flies and for that I'm glad.
When I see them now, I think 'photo-op'.
But there's always a little voice in my head telling
me to run.
And to get the poison spray, shotgun, WD40 Flamethrower....

Oversized Things

Shot over a fence with razor-wire on top, to protect it
from the old-school punks who lust after double cassette
boomboxes so big they need a truck to haul them around.

I guess an iPod would look too plain blown up to giant
proportions but seriously...a double cassette boombox?
The radio station that brings this dinosaur out to events
must have a playlist that's mostly hair-metal.
Although the flames are a classic touch, the settings on
the fake graphic EQ are contemptible since the only music
they will improve is Coldplay (Tofu U2), and that's
only because anything you do will improve
Coldplay's garbage including listening to it underwater
or setting off strings of firecrackers the entire time
it's playing.
Being dead helps, too.
