Destroyers and Ravagers,
I was frankly stunned to see that we haven’t updated since December.  I thought, “that’s not that long ago, right?  It is.  Long ago.  Fuck!  Well during that time, MAMMAL 003 was being knitted together like an enormous healing scab.  I’m pleased to say that it’s finally FINISHED AND AT THE PRINTER.  I [...]

Hello cannibals!  I recently had the privilege to contribute art to the totally awesome Richmond, Virginia-based skate zine BORN UGLY. Friend-of-MAMMAL Jim “Barf” Callahan was kind enough to include one of my “Boring Meeting Drawings” in issue #4. You can order it from them or read it in convenient pdf format at their site.

Hey rabid ones – – Here’s a glimpse into the creative process!  It’s my drawing for the cover of MAMMAL 003: FEAR.  We’re hard at work getting this new issue done, and it’s my turn at the plate for the cover.  I’m about to slather this bad boy in acrylic, but first I wanted to [...]
