Text of the page (random words):
nd have been reading his books for almost twenty years now starting with thb when i was in college our encounter was brief but it appeared we share a mutual respect for each other all in all i was in good company on stage with a line up of extremely talented artists and writers one of the most unique requests i ve received to date is to sign a jar of moonshine as the individual pulled out the mason jar of pellucid toxin one thing came to mind our moon running forefather popcorn sutton so i wrote around the top of the jar long live popcorn sutton and sketched a caricature of the hillbilly himself the individual was surprised i knew who popcorn was the next day he came back and gave me a jar of moonshine dangerous times are on the horizon the five days were hard on us and by sunday we were all ready to crash or maybe some of us just stayed out too late at nights regardless to recap the week we all had a great time i think i can speak for the entire mcp crew when i say that we enjoyed spending time with everyone who stopped by the booth this is how a family is created you don t have to be bound by blood you just need to have common interests a gathering and memories here s to a great san diego comic con 2013 the mcp crew look forward to seeing you all again soon if not in between days next sdcc until then be grim posted by gris grimly at 6 38 pm 3 comments thursday june 7 2012 becoming a deviant deviant art has been around for twelve years now and i ve known about it for some time but it wasn t until a couple weeks ago that i finally dug my grave and became a member if you are not familiar with deviant art it is an online social network focused on art as of 2010 it gained 14 5 million members and has expanded far beyond that number by now i m not much of a tech guy i am very much a geek when it comes to horror movies and vinyl records but a nerd of evolutionary gadgets i am not i resisted getting a cell phone for years and have only acquired an iphone two and a half years ago the last video game i played was tetris even when the first resident evil came out in the mid 90s i hung up my joystick and decided it was time to become an observer my computers are never up to speed and that is fine as long as my turntable s motor isn t burned out and i can still spin vinyl i m a happy fiend social networks are no different i avoided myspace and only decided to join a few years before it wasted away to the ghost town it is today same with facebook same with twitter so why should it be any different with deviant art i didn t quite understand the need or desire to be on the network i had friends that were artists and i could communicate with them through email or other social networks most of them were not even on deviant art then i met ron martino producer and director at deviant art network at the san diego comic con 2011 he spent some time explaining to me the community of artists that live on this network and how many of them are active around the world at one time it is very impressive but still i didn t join for almost another year what did it was my frustrations with other networks like twitter and facebook i am an artist i wake up as an artist i live as an artist and i make money as an artist whether i am writing little fairy tales illustrating monsters painting nightmares or trapping moving pictures on digital cameras i live to create art so i would become very frustrated when i posted artwork on my networks and did not get the response that i was looking for i could jot down some nonsense in 140 characters or less on twitter about my twinky having diarrhea and retweets explode but a post about a signing or an art piece gets the occasional chirp that s twitter i get it i ve learned to play the game i find myself contriving the most facetious crap that sometimes and usually warms my face with embarrassment just to say such mindless babble because that s what people want i ve discovered facebook isn t much different i get a good response when i post an illustration or painting but really people on facebook are looking for drama they want to hear you bitch about your day or complain about this or that everybody is a fan of misery as long as it s someone else deviant art is nothing like that deviant art is a community of artists whether they are amateurs hobbyists or professionals who are on there to share and experience art it s not about what you had for lunch it s not sharing that instagram photo of the drunk passed out at denny s at 2am it s not about posting your passive aggressive attacks on you know who twitter and facebook have their place i m not saying anything against people who use them because i use them and i enjoy them for what they are but there is no other community for the artist like deviant art join visit my page and partake in the largest growing online art community worldwide gris grimly on deviant art posted by gris grimly at 2 16 am 5 comments monday march 19 2012 grimlify this over the past few months i started hosting competitions on my networks to create a more interactive presence for fans fiends and followers most of the competitions involved name drawings for mcp store customers and challenges that introduced new fiends to my work in february i hosted a competition that required fiends to complete and submit a valentine s day poem the winner had their poem illustrated and released as a virtual card this month i started a competition that would be just as thrilling for me as those involved the competition is called grimlify this and it went like this every follower on facebook could submit an idea in this case it was an animated cartoon character they had one week to chose one and post it on my facebook i then went through the submissions and chose five of those characters to illustrate in my style the reasoning for the five that were picked had to do with many factors i wanted something that would challenge me therefore i didn t pick characters that are too similar to my style already that would eliminate characters like the addams family beetlejuice monster cereals etc i didn t pick characters that were too vague and had no distinguishing characteristics heckle and jeckle are great characters but once grimlified they would just look like my crows i didn t pick characters that were too obscure part of the fun of this project is that people will look at the character and immediately relate to it because they are familiar with them with that said these are the 5 characters that i picked and grimlified rainbow brite the mad hatter popeye fred flintstone purple pie man once the characters were completed and posted it is up to the fiends the image with the most likes at the end of the month determines the winner of the grand prize i can t control this from becoming a popularity contest some likes will be based on helping their friend win the prize but i hope most people will vote on the illustration that they like the best i really enjoyed this competition and look forward for more to come the options are endless grimlify superheros pop stars disney hanna barbara breakfast cereals fruits etc i m looking forward to it go here to vote before april 1st 2012 gris grimly facebook join the society of grave robbers facebook to be notified on the next competition sogr facebook be grim gris grimly posted by gris grimly at 12 42 pm 3 comments saturday december 24 2011 conversations with critter a few days ago i pulled up to a gas station to fill up the mcp mobile i ve taught myself to use cash for most transactions these days it s a little way to get out from the control of capitalism and corporate banks the problem with using cash transactions in this ever evolving cyborg world is that you need to have an interaction with a human to do so i question the direction we are heading as a society and more specifically in america we are replacing tellers and cashiers with self checkout computers this diminishes the demand for employees and we wonder why unemployment is on the rise in america i approached the quiosque as luck would have it the closed be back in 15 minutes sign was up i m a patient guy so i decided to wait i peered inside to discover a clerk counting cigarette packs this can t take too long i watched as people came and went swiping plastic through greedy machines i questioned what information is on those cards and how much of that information is being channeled to a database everything we buy everywhere we go as well as our personal data is transmitted through that little piece of plastic shortly i noticed a homeless man approaching the quiosque he offered me a drag off his smoke as he drew near i refused i gave up the cancer sticks almost two years now and don t need to relapse as he approached the glass doors i told him it s closed he was wearing a trucker cap and his bearded jaw flapped loosely from it s hinges he peered inside and made some half insane crack about the two attendants involving homosexual activity i laughed and made some comment back which was probably not nearly as humorous he decided to wait with me as people approached and left as quickly as they read the sign i realized that i am a rare breed and obviously have a schedule so incredibly dull that it pairs nicely with that of the homeless maybe it s not that my life isn t hectic but that i can stop and smell the roses now and then even if it s the smell of stale cigarettes and hooch the homeless man turned to me and asked how my holidays were going it was at this point that i noticed a y shaped incision running vertically down his throat and up to his ear held together with staples i told him it was going alright and i couldn t complaint how about you he sucked his bottom jaw halfway down his throat which sort of resembled a grin and responded with mediocre favor after a pause he said except for this and pointed out the gnarly wound in case i missed it i responded with yeah what happened there he told me that he was asleep monday night when a man off his meds came up and knifed him luckily a patrol car was there the assailant was arrested for attempted murder and the victim received medical treatment but i don t hate him what this was hard to buy some guy took i shank to his throat and he had no animosity towards him he didn t hate me he didn t want to kill me he just ran out of his meds i was amazed at his unconditional humanity and love for another being i see people hate other people all the time for simple things like getting cut off on the freeway he then explained to me that the only reason he survived was because the man did it wrong the incision should have ran horizontally i m pretty blunt and say what s on my mind sometimes that gets me into trouble i asked him if he wished he had died he didn t really have a straight answer but to sum up his ghandi diatribe he doesn t want to die but he doesn t want to live this life rather he s ready to move onto the next life he wont kill himself i m not a coward he explained he just wishes someone would come and put a bullet in his head and do him off right i told him maybe it wasn t his time to go yet this baffled the bum he s been told this many times but he doesn t know what his purpose is he s had the cars the house the career he doesn t want any of that the system doesn t work for us you can either fight to survive by being a part of it or you can fight to survive as an individual he clarified that he would rather survive on the streets then look like a fool i liked this guy it became apparent after a half hour chat that the gas station wasn t going to open any time soon i asked him what his name was he said critter and i shook his hand he headed on his journey of freedom halfway across the parking lot he looked back at me and waved his hand flashing the hawaiian shaka symbol in hawaii it is the call of the aloha spirit a gesture of friendship and understanding between various ethnic cultures in surfer language it means everything s cool i really liked critter i m not sure why the gas station was closed and the two of us got a chance to meet but i can t help thinking of him this holiday as a constant reminder of what s important in life posted by gris grimly at 12 52 pm 2 comments tuesday november 8 2011 the trouble with females i m a huge john waters fan and have an appreciation for his trashy films so when i was asked to be a part of a group show centered around waters drag queen muse divine there was no hesitation in my acceptance my favorite waters films are his earliest films pink flamingos desperate living polyester and female trouble although i really enjoy a dirty shame as a comeback and my guilty pleasure is cry baby instantly i knew the theme of my painting was going to be female trouble it is a story about the life of an ungrateful degenerate woman from her delinquent youth to her maladjusted family and her fame obsessed downward spiral so i began by slopping on paint in the film female trouble divine wears a pretty iconic outfit that is made of purple leopard print material i thought that would be a good background as the paint drips i found my image materializing in the acrylic mess the painting is pretty much a montage of imagery from the film and a personal commentary that i added to the piece the central attention is focused on a full body representation of divine s character dawn davenport during the height of her self obsessed fame and a three quarters view of her head during her demise on death row in the painting above you will notice a slight difference in the three quarter view portrait and the one in the previous image i had actually finished up the portrait and was so unhappy with the outcome that i took an electric sander to it and started over this version accomplishes the image i had in my head whereas the other was slightly off sometimes you can t quite put your finger on it but it just doesn t work bloody babies were added floating in space an unforgettable moment in the film is when dawn gives birth to her baby on a filthy couch in a bloody mess she bites through the umbilical chord most woman are obsessed with babies and when they have babies on the brain logic goes out the window i m not a street artist other than some delinquent graffiti i did as a kid i ve never used spray paint as an artistic medium visually i thought it would look good to have dawn s prison number from the film stenciled on the board sometimes i choose to do things for a stylistic reasons opposed to remaining faithful to perception this portrait of dawn is one of those times when divine s character is apprehended by the police she is still in her stark make up and pre punk mohawk she is tried like this only dressed in prison garb but when she is electrocuted her head is shaved and she is absent of makeup the image i had in my head was a cross between the two the grimace and make up definitely comes from the trial but the shaved head comes from the execution what the hell i...
