Little Fyodor

2011-01-28T11:32:00.000-08:00

Denver's Little Fyodor

From his website:

"Little Fyodor has been spreading his unique brand of avant-pop madness throughout the world musical underground for over twenty years, creating twisted, satirical songs which - beneath a crass and maniacal outer shell - express a deep empathy with those who most acutely experience the frustrations and alienation of modern life's "insect existence." Fyodor's songwriting, aesthetics and outlandish performances somehow manage to be simultaneously sad, angry and hilarious, and in doing so, appeal to the silent majority of disillusioned weirdos of the world, whom he adeptly addresses with a theatrical, daresay Vaudevillian flair, that is a brand all his own."

Show Devils

2011-01-12T09:09:00.000-08:00

I've been looking forward to this...

I'm about to start illustrating a new comic about the 'Show Devils', 'The Strangest Show on Earth' or 'The Most Dangerous Show on Earth' (take your pick.)

Show Devils are the real life side show performers The Enigma and Serana Rose. As they put it:

"Dubbed "WORLDS MOST DANGEROUS SHOW" and America's A-list "SUBCULTURE SWEETHEARTS". The Tattooed Royalty known as SHOWDEVILS WILL BRING YOU A MENAGERIE COLLECTION OF HUMAN MARVELS, STRANGE STUNTS, & NOVEL TALENTS! This Globally Renowned Grand Poobah of Stunt Shows unrolls the 1920's glory of vaudeville with an intense mix of traditional routines, modern performances, and strange music, like the beautiful Serana Rose the Electric Girl, Neon Swallowing, Glass Eating, the Tattooed Puzzle Man from the X-files "The Enigma", the Hot and Sexy Fire Eater, Knife Throwing, Running Chainsaws while Blindfolded, Spikes Hammered into the Head, beatings with blades, Pin-filled Puncushions, and much, much, more. All done to a music that'll make you quiver!"

"The Founding/Creating and Musical Enterprises of SHOWDEVILS involved traveling the seven seas to bring you the odd and unusual. If it doesn't exist anymore, we'll reproduce it! SHOWDEVILS will put you in a dream-like surrealist world perceived as timeless. Always offering a vast cornucopia of things to see, savor and remember. We are taking the dreams from P. T. Barnum and our artistic vision is heavily influenced by a smorgasbord of artists & inspirations..."

So here are some warm up pieces that I did:

Here's a piece that I did for them for their wedding day. Amy choked and held back the tears when she got it, which is exactly the sort of thing my artwork apparently does: causes people to cry. Probably the reason I don't get invited to many BBQs or children's parties.

Murder is a CRIME! Unless it was done by a Policeman or aristocrat
Know your rights

And Number 2: You have the right to food money
Providing of course you don't mind a little Investigation, humiliation... And if you cross your fingers
Rehabilitation

Know your rights... These are your rights

Number 3: You have the right to free speech as long as you're not
Dumb enough to actually try it."

From Creepy Magazine.

Is it on?? Oh Hell, yes! It's ON!!

2009-07-21T12:14:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow, I fly out to (some say "scenic") San Diego for America's largest comic/pop culture fest, known to many as "Comic Con" and too a few others as "Squid Elder Things Attack 2009". I have all my art work prepped, portfolios ready, and my "medicinal" flasks filled for the long march to sunny San Diego fanboy glory.

If you do make it to the convention, I will be appearing at the SLG Publishing booth (#1820) all weekend. Not only will there be plenty of copies of the Byron GN, but I will also have many prints with me from all my series (Drunkards, Horror, Jazz, Cabaret, and a couple others...) I may actually dance a small jig if you ask nicely...

So, here's the game plan:

Thursday 7/23: 2:30-4:00 pm
Friday 7/24: 11:30-1:00 pm and 5:30-7:00 pm
Saturday 7/25:10:00-11:00 am
Sunday 7/26:10:00-11:00 am

Other then that, I'll be wandering around the convention (Kelly, knowing her priorities, will be at the beach...) while trying to find a decent bar without having to taser anyone. This is a lot more difficult than it seems...

“Seeräuber-Jenny (Pirate Jenny)” Text: Bertolt Brecht  Musik: Kurt Weill
4 
Und es werden kommen hundert gen Mittag an Land
Und werden in den Schatten treten
Und fangen einen jeglichen aus jeglicher Tür
Und legen ihn in Ketten und bringen vor mir
Und fragen: Welchen sollen wir töten?
Und an diesem Mittag wird es still sein am Hafen
Wenn man fragt, wer wohl sterben muss.
Und dann werden Sie mich sagen hören: Alle!
Und wenn dann der Kopf fällt, sag ich: Hoppla!

Und das Schiff mit acht Segeln 
Und mit fünfzig Kanonen
Wird entschwinden mit mir.

4 
And hundreds will come ashore around noon
And will step into the shadows 
And will catch anyone in any door 
And lay him in chains and bring him before me 
And ask: Which one should we kill? 
And at that midday it will be quiet at the harbor 
When they ask, who has to die. 
And then they'll hear me say: All of them! 
And when the heads roll, I'll say: Hurray! 

And the ship with eight sails 
And with fifty cannons 
Will disappear with me.
