More Shameless BSK:BLK Store Promotion

For the discerning consumer who craves unnecessary adornment, I've created the BSK:BLK store on Zazzle - see their whiz-bang flash animated plug-in above. I've just uploaded the first in a series of art cards featuring my automotive photography and graphic manipulation. This set of five cards follows the 'American Muscle' theme and features an artsy rough pastel look to the images.

Buy one or buy 'em all - I think you get a discount and a nice little box to keep the cards in if you order ten, so that'd be my recommendation. Here's a look at the first five - click below to enlarge.

BSK:BLK store now online!

Who doesn't need a black t-shirt now and then right? Problem is, you don't even want to go out looking anything like Simon Cowell, so you need to put something on that black t-shirt. A symbol or a logo, something that you can identify with. Something perhaps so obscure that 99% of the black t-shirt wearing public out there won't get the reference. Oh, but you and that remaining 1% will be like some secret society - like the Freemasons or the Vampire Weekend-haters Club - passing knowing glances on the street as you casually plot world domination. Yeah you need a shirt like that.

BSK:BLK (Basic Black) is your new source for shirts that are somewhat esoteric, sometimes cryptic and somehow just a little more arcane than you're used to. Don't let that scare you though. The concept is simple - black shirt, white graphic, oblique message - maybe even a little bit of fun too. Trust me. I'm a professional. And I know what's good for you.

Brain Salad Surgery

The Vinyl Project 10.12.09 Picked this one up at the swap meet a couple of weeks ago mostly for the creepy and disturbing cover artwork by H.R. Giger, one of my favorite artists. The record itself ended up being way too scratchy to be of any use - hey a few random clicks and pops make for a nostalgic vinyl listening experience, but too much of that will just make you want to rip the disc off the turntable and chuck it against a wall - but there's simply no ignoring the Giger sleeve. This is the original release of the 1973 ELP album and has a the split-in-half front cover, which when opened reveals the the ethereal image of a woman's face (Giger's wife I discovered) done in his signature biomechanical style...

Some info on the album and the cover artwork can be found on Wikipedia here.

And some behind-the-scenes notes on producing the paintings for the album can be found on H.R. Giger's official website here.
