: So, welcome to my humble show,
!
Do you enjoy being here?
: Yeah, the set looks great! It's my first time on TV, so I'm a little nervous.
: It possibly might help you to know that it's not TV, it's CYBERSPACE.
So, it's just the same as TV, but without all them disadvantages coming with that.
For example, VISUAL disadvantages!
Does that make you feel any better?
: Actually, I'm a little disappointed that I won't be seen. I wanted everyone to see how well I tucked my shirt in. It's evenly tucked on all sides and has a kick ass airbrushed portrait of Jesus Christ on one knee, tying his sneaker.
Guess I fluffed my beard for nothing. Oh well, fuck it. On with the interview!
: Right! Are you extremely VAIN?
: Nah, I know I'm an ugly bastard. Just proud of a good shirt tuck like any good american.
: You spelled it there, dude, I do react on it.
AMERICA.
Your opinion on it, please.
: My opinion on the states? Ha!! I totally get why the world hates us and there's laundry list of shit that annoys me about my own country and the retards who occupy it (just look through my gallery) but I don't care enough about politics or the planet in general to get into it. Everybody already knows were assholes.
Despite all the bad shit you hear about us, america is a great place to live, as far as being able to do or say almost anything you want without fearing for your life. Sure we've got the occasional JFK, 911 or Pearl Harbor, but that type of shit happens on a monthly basis in other places. We suck but we got Taco Bell and the best comedians (although half of them are originally from Canada).
: You surely also do have some GREAT IDOLS!
Of the ones above, my personal favourite is definitely Fish.
Because he pinched needles into his genitals. Just like some german theologists from the middle ages. And just like them, he believed to be from god. But which one is YOUR favourite of them? And why?
: I would have to say it's a tie between Fish and Bundy. Fish is one of the most fascinating criminals of all time. A psychologist who analyzed him once said he had almost every sexual dysfunction known to man (at the time anyways), so if you add that to the fact that he ate children and stuck needles in his pelvis/genitals you have a pretty interesting subject. The only book I've ever read cover to cover without skipping chapters or quitting early is the Albert Fish biography. It was called "Fiend" I think.
Bundy is another equally fascinating person. Most people are aware of him and what he did so I don't really need to explain much. I'm mainly a fan because he lead the ultimate double life, on one hand he was very outgoing, charming and well liked. On the other, he was a cold, calculating, sociopath who tortured and raped good looking girls before and after they were dead. Most serial killers you read about are usually people that kept a low profile while they were active, but Ted was the exact opposite (a popular frat boy type who was active in politics). I also love the fact that he escaped from jail twice and was arrogant enough to represent himself in court.
: Bundy was a fascinating personality, for sure!
But you will also have to consider that Bundy was only able to do what he did because he was GOOD LOOKING. Whereas FISH, on the other hand – even if he might not have INVENTED it at all – represents a giant step in the SPIRITUAL development of mankind!
(Which is also why I am sure that he would NOT have liked at all to be called just "interesting" - but that's another story, actually!
)
Anyway, since I already chose these as your first feature in this interview, and since we are already talking about spiritual stuff – also elaborate a bit more on MICKEY MOUSE, DAHMER, GOD, and JESUS, please!
: Mickey Mouse- I have almost zero interest in old Mickey, that piece came about by accident really. I was looking at a Ron English painting called "Marilyn Mickies" (I think) one day and just got the idea to reverse the images. It's a pretty basic joke but sometimes basic works.
Dahmer- I really like Jeff and feel he was a kind, laid back, non violent guy who was truly sorry for what he had done. I know it's odd to say that about the most famous serial killer of all time but if you watch his interviews and take into account the fact that he drugged his victims before killing them (as opposed to getting off on terrorizing a coherent person) you can see that he was a mentally tortured, cowardly individual who hated himself and what he had done. I actually felt kinda sorry for him when I heard he was beaten to death. He deserved to die but I don't think he had the cold blooded personality you'd expect to find in a killer.
God/Jesus- Religion works for some people and if it gets you through the day without affecting those around you who don't share your beliefs, then I'm happy for you. I personally don't believe a word of the Bible. I don't need old folklore about magical beings to tell me whats right and whats wrong. I think it's really odd that grown adults, living in this day and age, still believe in all that ancient biblical bullshit.
: Your thoughts about Mickey and Jeff are also very nice, but damn, we'll have to get on with this, so let's focus just on BIBLICAL BULLSHIT for a moment…
Why exactly is it ridiculous, and why are nuclear weapons wrong?
: Why is the Bible ridiculous? Just read the fucking thing HA!! Giants, Zombies, People turning into pillars of salt, the list goes on and on. It's perfectly acceptable for someone to believe in the story of "David and Goliath" but if I felt the same way about "Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox" they'd throw me in a mental institution. It's all folklore.
I love nuclear weapons!!! Fuck the human race, people are garbage. Earth would be great if man had never evolved past the ape stage.
: Oh I'm sorry, I should have noticed that before...
So, why don't you delight our viewers with some personal gossip about how you learned to LOVE THE BOMB?
: No real gossip to share, I simply have a nihilistic personality. It's not all gloom and doom though, I have a sense of humor about my bleak outlook on life. The piece you posted of the Norman Rockwell kids fondly watching the bomb go off is a great example of that.
: Just because you mentioned nihilism there – have you been good at school?
: Yeah, I'm a decent student. I'm going to school for graphic design and I enjoy it. Art is one of the few things I don't hate so my nihilism tends to take a back seat when I'm creating. It gives me a reason to get out of bed in the morning.
: So talking about ART would be boring here. Tell us something more about what you HATE!
: I hate.... Fedoras, Dancing, People who think Dancing is cool, poker card collage art, anime, Will Smith and his awful children, meeting new people, planet earth, every rock band that's formed in the last 15 years, internet slang, racist rednecks, soda pop, Ed Hardy t-shirts, technical grindcore, nature, people that think art should always make sense, snow, tofurkey, p.t. cruisers, religion, hot girls that get D.A. accounts and post 1,000 cell phone pictures of themselves making different faces with ultra dumb and or pretentious titles attached (THAT'S NOT ART!!), parents that name their kids Houston, Tyler, Tanner or Dakota, tucking my shirt in EVER, wiggers, the pathetic half assed american food you find at some Chinese buffets, and much much more.
: Well, these are just so good as "final words", I'm tempted to end this wonderful interview right here… Or is there anything else you would like our fine viewers to know?
: One last thing I'd like people to know about me is that the art you've featured here isn't really what I do on a regular basis. I'm glad you featured it, and I'm definitely proud of those particular pieces, but I don't consider myself to be a pop artist by any means. 90% of my work is pure Dada/Surrealist inspired absurdity. The pop/parody stuff I make only happens a few times a year when a good idea creeps in, outside of that my only goal in art is to make the weirdest, most nonsensical bullshit I can.
: I will surely be looking forward to it!
So, thanks for the interview, and maybe we'll meet again some day!
Next time:
