Buy a print, so I can get a new clutch!

Dear everyone my car has died and I'm now in a seriously dire financial situation, its an age old story of just having enough to get by and then something goes wrong. Where I live I'm totally reliant on my car and my only source of income at present is driving out to sell my sketchbooks and flash at various shops and onventions.

Anyway in a bid to try and raise some money I've got 25 hand silkscreened prints for sale, they are A3 silver print on black card and they cost £15 UK including postage, heres some awful photographs of a bit of the process and print... damnable Iphone pics...

Paypal payment to mdcindustries@gmail.com include the title 'spiderskull print' and your address and they will be winging their pretty way to you asap.

If your interested in any of my other shirts or prints then go buy stuff and help me get back on the road! I'm available for comissions and my skull flash set and sketchbooks are available through my web store


Thanks for your time,

Jon MDC

Always waiting for the bigger axe to fall...

Been a Fugazi kinda morning, the rain has broken the heat a bit which is a nice respite from the sticky oven I've been trapped in the last week or so. It zaps all my creativity and will to get on with life... Got a couple of bits to pop up and some more news. There is a review of the Skull Book II in Total Tattoo featuring my pic from the book, well stoked! Go buy it here http://www.skullsbook.com

1st up I've go a new print for sale so mail me if your interested in this one as I'm printing only when people want them!

There is a different version on a shirt if you go to my Redbubble store on the links at the side.

And I did this version too

Thinking that I might try and put together a set of 13 A4 b/w prints with the alternate versions of these ones, I really like the lil 13 logo...

And lastly this is coming soon as a shirt for Attack! Vipers! still waiting to hear if it'll be the glow in the dark print, it'd be frickin sweet! Click the pic to go listen to their sweet tunes over at Myspac...

Other than that not so much to tell, skint, jobless but loving the futility of it all...

Choked & Seperated

Ah well seems like only yesterday I was writing on here, oh it was... Yeah well I actually managed to do something 2 days on the trot, went to see Hot Water Music last night and got all inspired again. Highlight of the night was Joe of Attack! Vipers! doing some guest vocals, sounded good even if he fluffed some of the words!!! Still have no money or work but if anyone reads this shit and is interested I'm gonna do a limited print run of this and the last pic they are roughly 30cm x 90 cm with a bit of bleed for framing, price on request.



shirt version has added axe-goodness...



Oh and I sneaked a skull in this time, my Dr recommended it!

I just don't feel like growing up today...

Well I never feel like growing up so its not specific to today. Seem to be stuck in a period of stasis, money is tight and I keep ending up having to wait before I can do anything. I'm only generating income from stuff I sell at the moment, so its frustrating when I start to run out of books and am dependent on selling some more to print more. It starts to feel like your on some permanent holding pattern orbiting the airport of your life.

Still there is always music, friends and tattoos to keep us moving on! My leg tat was in Total Tattoo in the article about Jayne Doe http://www.myspace.com/jaynedoetattoo , the awesome shop that houses Tiny Miss Becca and Steve Vinall, go see them and get some ink (book ahead tho, they are always in demand)... Got inked by my mate Ben not so long ago, he resides at Tattoo Boom in Southampton, go check out his blog http://oldtimetattoo.blogspot.com/ for a bit of his sweet old school magic. My better half is gonna be working Tattoo Jam in Doncaster this year and still has some spots available, get in touch via her myspac http://www.myspace.com/hel_demonica .

The creative process was aided by the tunes of Carpathian, Baroness, Hope Conspiracy, Cursed, Harvey Milk and Heiress. Lyrics on the pic are from The Gnashing by Baroness if you don't already know them you should check them out http://www.myspace.com/yourbaroness and as always the artwork of John Dyer-Baizley is a joy and inspiration to behold http://www.myspace.com/johndyerbaizley (sometimes you wanna hate on these all round talented fuckers)...

Well heres the new shizzle, lemme know what you reckon and prints are only available direct from me, not from DA for a change...



Close up of the heart detail, and no I'm not a frickin West Ham supporter. The hammers are more of a nod toward my love of casual violence!



Slightly greeny version available on a shirt at the usual Redbubble address... Damn I need to work out how to optimize the colours for PNG's. Cos she looks a bit like the Green Lady now, which I'm not totally against.



Ooh and look no skulls!

Transmission ends...

Your Path To Divinty

Been listening to Jesu and Disapearer for most of today, this strange doodle came together... Was over at the Bournemouth convention on Saturday and watched my mate John Standen reinterpret a couple of the skulls from my flash set. Should be turning up in Total Tattoo at some point... My friend Liz http://lizsterry.com/ bigged me up on Ape On The Moon (click the pic to go have a nose)...

If you hadn't noticed aside from skulls, music is the biggest influence in my work. Pretty much all the titles for my pictures are either lyrics or related to songs from my favorite artists. The title of this post is a song by Jesu, a current project of Justin K. Broadrick, check the link to his site down the side of this blog. His previous band Godflesh was one of the biggest reasons I embraced heavy music, Streetcleaner is still one of those albums that sounds as fresh as the day it was released and can out heavy a of of the shit being released at the present.Much of his other work is experimental noise and soundscapes, not really the kind of stuff that you end up humming...

Listen to Jesu, get lost in the gently lapping melodies, crushing guitars that wash over you and hypnotic beats that relax, inspire and sometimes send me to sweet dreams...

G'night.
