HTRK

 I went to my first gig since Goblin in febuary, I rarely go to gigs anymore. HTRK have a new record out which I dont have, but I have the first two and they are great; one of the members died about a year ago and they are down to just two members now.
 A support band called Standish/Carlyon were really nice and atmospheric but when it got to HTRK, the sound levels were not right and some of the instruments just werent picking up, I felt sorry for the singer because it was her instruments and voice that was not picking up and she looked really uncomfortable not knowing whether her drum was going to work when she struck it and trying to sing loud enough. It looks like they gave up after 6 or 7 songs, which were able to create a pleasing enough swamp of sound but didnt have the impact they would have if everything was working. I really hope this didnt take the wind out their sails, it might have been the first date in the tour.

 I selected the song that got me hooked and I hope it will hook you too. It was produced by Rowland S Howard.

hyel introducing post






hi!
i'm a little bit nervous to introduce myself.. because i'm not good and english..

anyway! i'm hyeyeol just call me hyel! and lived in seoul korea, good to see you!
um extually i've never thought about that my works are comprised in art
because i studyed comics and still studying comics..
beginning of my works are just junk for my desire

but now i'm so pleasure to join this interesting group.




i'm inspired by Ukiyo-e japanease style tattoo(Yirejeumi) that gives me strong impression only use line and face.
and i usually draw about Thanatos and eros especially the eros of narcissism and often contain mythicalness.
so my works are almost having symmetry structure like mirror.

the reason of the main characters of my works are having abnormal bodys
means perversive share or spurt of desire.


PORK #4

PILES OF PORK!!!
To answer your question, PORK is not a webzine, but has always been intended to be print only. I use the web to promote the magazine to people & so they can read it if it is not available in their city, which is mostly the case for anyone outside of the USA (shipping fees are very expensive!). PORK #4 had an a print run of 8000 copies & we only have a couple hundred left!

Poor Fifi wants to murder humanity




Okay, here's Fifi (say hello)
A linocut made sometimes ago
I used 5 plates of lino, grand luxe!
I need to try to cut x colors in a single plate, but I also like doing like that, it give possibilities to work it again & to print this image like a silkscreen, cheaper than a classical print

Moleman



Just a drawing I did during my stay at Alkbazz's extraordinary bookshop, after Quentin Mabuse who did a version of Flemish painter Jan Gossaert (1478-1532, sometimes also called Mabuse). I suppose the fur coat got my attention.

Monsters, Weirdos & Creeps Series Two!!!

Monsters Weirdos and Creeps ad
For juvenile delinquents young & old, Monsters, Weirdos & Creeps are 27 depraved & deranged characters exploding from the trash can psyche of Sean Äaberg. For just $1 you get five randomly selected cards, each in full color on surprisingly stiff card material. On the fronts you get a Monster, Weirdo or Creep & on the backs you get 9 comics, 9 Wacky Mix-Ups & 9 puzzle pieces which construct a goofy scene of craziness. Each wrapper is even krammed with all kinds of kraziness! These are guaranteed boredom killers!

This is one of the drawings I submitted:



It's a combination of the classic 'so above, so below'-posture of Pazuzu (and God and numerous angels) and corporal punishment, in a Romanesque Vesica Piscis shape.
