It's no secret that the Darth Vader helmet is one of the most iconic images in pop-culture history. It's also no secret that adding a Darth Vader helmet to ANYTHING makes it completely bad ass. Let's try out that theory for a minute, shall we.
So, with that evidence clearly thrown in your face like a Mynock-Cream Pie from the Dark Side Bakery, let's add another ingredient to the equation: Artists. Artists + Nothing = Artists. Artists + Darth Vader = Bad Ass Artists. RIght? I think so!
About 2 years ago, Dov Kelemer & Sarah Jo Marks of DKE TOYS gathered together a HUGE roster of insanely talented artists to customize official replicas of the actual Darth Vader helmet used in Star Wars. I was lucky enough to be one of the artists picked to contribute. Throughout the last 2 years, the collection of over 100 helmets traveled the globe, finding temporary homes at a bunch of rad locations, like the Warhol Museum in Philly, Star Wars Celebration, Comic Con, Japan, and a few art galleries. Now, after all that traveling, all 100 of them are going up for AUCTION through FREEMAN'S AUCTIONEERS IN 3 DAYS ON JULY 10!! The collection is crazy, you need to check it out. There is a really beautiful catalog (and art book more like it) for sale that features all of the helmets too:)
Anyway, here are some pics of the helmet that I made for the show, and below the pics is all of the information about the auction. Check it out if you can!

Hey holmes. If you follow me on Twitter, then you might have noticed that I have been holed up in my studio working like a madman, cutting all forms of interaction with real humans off, and instead chose only to communicate via VHS tapes and other cutting edge technology like Brian Oblivian. This, in turn, has driven me a little insane. Not full Lohan yet, just kinda insane.
And this insanity has driven me to do something SOOOOOO (kinda) CRAZY! During one of my 3 hour naps, I must have slept walked back to my computer and subconsciously lowered the prices by a few bucks on a bunch of our prints and t-shirts! Take a moment to poke around. You might find something you missed. And now it's cheaper!
And as a bonus, the KINDACRAZY doesn't stop there! I guess I also, in addition to drooling and saying things like "pigs make great backpacks", I convinced the rest of the Zerofriends crew to GIVE AWAY ONE "MONSTER" PRINT WITH EVERY ORDER OF $25 OR MORE!!! So yep, shit is kinda crazy over here, so I let it kinda spill into the store! Here's some specific details: From now thru June 30th, you will receive ONE FREE 5"x7" Signed Giclee Print from my "My Favorite Monsters" Series 1 set if you spend $25 or more. (Limit one print per ORDER) During the checkout process please let us know in the comments section which "MONSTER" print you would like. If no print is selected, a random print will be sent to you which cannot be exchanged.

This blog has been over 2 years in the making. So how do I start it? What one sentence could I use to introduce something that has forced me to feel so many different emotions, forced me to throw so many punches to fight for it's evolution, forced me to learn compromise, trust, genuine excitement, fear, and appreciation for sacrifice? I've thought a long time about what this first sentence should say the day that I write it. And I honestly don't think that there is any more accurate description for my feelings other than those felt the moment Henry Frankenstein maniacally raved that his creation, against all odds, in a world where he was thought to be a madman, raises its dead right hand…. So, in the words of the crazed Dr. Frankenstein, "IT'S ALIVEEE, IT'S ALLLLIVVVEEE, IT'S ALIIIIIIVVVVVVEEE!"
What do I mean by "It"? Simply put, CHADAM: The Animated Series (which I created and have been slaving away at for 2 years) is now up and running with the first FIVE EPISODES APPEARING ONLINE AT THEWB.COM as of last night at 2AM.
It, indeed, has been a long ride, but I hope it is not even close to over. I will spare you the long-winded details of the exhilarating ride that it was, but now that it is released, expect some additional content and stories and stuff that I can now finally share after having to keep quiet for so long.
Please take a few minutes to watch the first episode, and if you enjoy it, there are already FIVE full episodes up, with the final 5 Episodes going live on June 22. As of now, there are no plans for any further distribution, like DVD or anything, so please let WB know somehow that you want to see it in other capacities! That's the only way it's gonna go anywhere. As with everything else I do, and we at Zerofriends do, we are the underdog, and we need your help and love! So please, help spread the word! And a big thank you to our very small team of talent, patient and passionate artists and programmers and cheerleaders that helped bring Chadam to life.
Here are the FIRST EPISODE OF CHADAM: The Animated Series, and you will find a link to the rest of them below:) Enjoy.
In what is sure to be one of the most insanely incredible print releases this side of Hell, we here at the outer realm of Zerofriends are more than epically proud to announce the release of a very amazing bloody limited Giclee print from one of my favorite artists in the 6th quadrant of the netherland, SKINNER!!!!
And oh what a print this is.
“Language of the Abyss” Limited Edition Giclee Print By SKINNER Extremely Limited Edition Of 100 17" x 22" Printed with Archival Inks on Acid Free Velvet Cotton Rag. Each print is hand signed, numbered and loved by SKINNER.
$50.00 each
A word from Skinner about the original painting:
"And through those staggering peaks loomed a cathedral of sacrifice. A catalyst of cosmic mayhem etched invariably along the necks and grooves of those archaic and malevolent instruments. Played horrifically and with unknowing cadence, those hideous and mindless beings of the pits have mastered the forbidden rhythms of cold, callous space. The power to bring forth a whirling, unstoppable maelstrom of sound no one person may survive. These lords of your undoing and enemies of all natural law wield unyielding.....Blackened Knowledge, the language of the abyss!"
It's 2 AM on Friday night (i'm posting this Saturday night tho). I'm waiting for approvals on 2 different projects before I can move forward, and I need to get up in a few hours to start on a different project, but as usual, I'm about as tired as a tasmanian devil on meth. So instead of sleeping, here's a list of 10 random movies, some new, some old, that you may or may not have seen or heard about, but you should. And if you've seen them, watch them again. They deserve that much:)
1. GENTLEMEN BRONCOS: You remember when Napoleon Dynamite first came out and after your Vote For Pedro shirt was all stained from your shame-sweat and your mouth finally stopped uncontrollably muttering "GOSH, IDIOT," you actually had that moment where you stopped and were like, "Yah, that movie was OK, but now that I think about, it was super G-rated. What the fuck, who duped me into watching a G-rated movie and, even more, who hypnotized me into running around pretending I'm not allowed to cuss and that I need to practice my karate? Damn! If I was gonna be influenced that much by a movie, I wish that shit was DARK!"? Then Nacho Libre came out right about then and did nothing to fulfill your fantasies, as that movie vacuumed a pile of dicks up off of the floor in record speed. HOWEVER, the magically imaginative husband/wife team of Jared & Jerusha Hess have finally accomplished what we wanted them to do in the first place. Gentlemen Broncos is, in the most general way possible, a dark Napoleon Dynamite. But it gets so much deeper than that, and so much more compelling and original. It's not just a cussing version of Napoleon. Actually, I still don't think there's even cussing in THIS on either, but its super fucked up nonetheless. Filled to the rim of the film canister with sci-fi, innocence, mormon values, snakes, deers with lasers, gay spacemen from the future, castration, vomit, plagiarism, indy filmmaking, more lasers, and superstar Jemaine Clement from FOTC. This shit's on DVD. Get it.
2. THE HIDDEN: My favorite sci-fi flick hands down, back from the late 80's when movies didn't NEED good premises, but most of them had AWESOME ones anyway! I don't want to ruin any magic of this movie, but basically, it follows an intergalactic alien FBI agent who has been chasing an alien serial killer around the galaxy only to follow him to Earth, where the alien loves 80's metal, guns, fast cars, fast food, and vomiting itself into host humans of all types. You can rest assure that before I die I'm going to make something that is heavily inspired by this. I love it. Shits on DVD, go get it!
3. MARTYRS: One of the best, and easily the most brutal, beautifully crafted movie the last 10 years. I recommend not researching ANYTHING about this if you haven't seen it, so I'm not even going to put a description or trailer or anything. Just note, it's a legitimate roller coaster ride through Hell. And it tests your patience, too. Consider a movie like Jacob's Ladder, or The Exorcist, Funny Games, Or even INSIDE, as a fucking slow Peter Pan Disney Ride through Hell in comparison. It's French. Watching the French audio with subtitles is recommended but really, there's not much dialog so if you hate subtitles, it doesn't really matter with this one. It's brilliant. Shits on DVD, watch it!
4 & 5. KING OF KONG & CHASING GHOSTS: When documentaries are constructed in a way that the narrative plays out perfectly, and clearly defined heroes and super-villains rise out of the collection of quirky personalities rapidly firing awkwardness at the viewer, and you stand up and cry and cheer at the same time by the end of a DOCUMENTARY? That's powerful. That's like some Hoop Dreams shit, except this time, it's with DONKEY KONG! Editing is a magical thing, and this doc is edited perfectly so that you know who to root for, and you know who to hate. And trust me, you will hate a lot. A true underdog story as a science teacher in Oregon attempts to dethrone Video Game Legend Billy Mitchell from pedestal of Donkey Kong World Record Holder. I got to see this in a theater knowing little about it, and I was blown away. Shits on DVD. Get it!
Now, if you end up liking KING OF KONG (and if you DON'T, I will challenge you to the bloodiest spiked-pit dual possible), I suggest you dig up a separate documentary called CHASING GHOSTS. It's a perfect supplementary piece to K.O.K. because it chronicles the life of TWIN GALAXIES, which is the company that keeps track of all of the video game high-scores in the world. A lot of the same characters from KOK get more screen time here and you get to collapse into the world of pure coin-op nerd-dom. Shits never been released, but you can probably find it online somewhere.

6. THE BURNING: Fine, I know this movie "couldn't have been made if it weren't for the success of Friday the 13th" and that it's "heavily inspired by Friday" even that "Tom Savini even worked on this with leftover effects and gags from Friday", but you know what? Fuck that, cuz this shit has Jason Alexander with HAIR! And besides that, it's an all around better movie. This is my favorite 80's slasher by far, and it has nothing to do with the supernatural or anything, its strictly a revenge movie. An asshole alcoholic caretaker at a summer camp, named Cropsy is a dick to the kids. So they play a prank on him, but he's such a clumsy asshole he fucks up his own prank that gets pulled on him and ends up engulfed in flames and on his death bed for 5 years before he takes his horribly burned body back to the camp to kill people with his gardening shears. That's it. It's awesome. Fisher Stevens gets killed in it. Fuckin Ratner from Fast Times gets killed it it, and one of those Wienstein dudes wrote it back in like 1980. And the sillouhette of Cropsy holding the shears up in the air against the sun every time he kills in BROAD DAYLIGHT rivals even Leatherface's famous chainsaw dance. Shits on DVD. Get it. Now.
THE BURNING TRAILER:
7. SPACEHUNTER: ADVENTURES IN THE FORBIDDEN ZONE (in 3-D). If Tommy Wiseau spent his 6 million dollar budget on making a time machine instead of "THE ROOM", then used the time machine to go back into the 80's to be inspired by the wave of sci-fi movies being shit out after Star Wars came out, and then MADE a sci-fi movie with his 20 dollars he had left over, that product would be close to Spacehunter. Aspects of it are amazingly bad, including some dialogue and "space slang" that is downright cringing to have to listen to when it's melting out of Molly Ringwald's dumpy mouth. But surprisingly, some of the sets, though they were built from cardboard, wood glue and piles of latexy scraps left over from Cher & Joan Rivers' plastic surgery in the 80's, are AWESOME. And who doesn't like Michael Ironside as a demonic cancer-ridden robot alien villain? I saw this at the Metro 4 in Antioch in the early 80's in 3-D! That was the closest I got to seeing all angles of the Sixteen Candles chick back then so I loved this movie. I love a lot about this movie, but it seems like the Internet unanimously hates it. There's not even a trailer online for it so all I can show you is a watermarked lobby card from fucking Germany. Whatever. Shits on DVD. Find it!
8 & 9. [REC] & [REC]2: [REC] is essentially what George Romero's Diary of the Dead SHOULD have been instead of the fucking phantom menace that it WAS. If you saw the american remake of [REC], which was called Quarantine, you saw almost the same movie as the original (Spanish) version but missed out on some rad story points that they changed in Quarantine for no apparent reason at all. Additionally, these kind of low-budget handheld shot movies work so much better as foreign films with unknown actors speaking unknown (to us uncultured fuckers) languages. That disconnect allows us to get pulled into the scenario. The moment that Dexter's sister pops up in the American version (Quarantine) and whines like she does in Dexter, it takes you out of the danger because you DO realize its only a movie. Anyway, REC 1 is awesome, its just footage of a local reporter getting trapped in an apartment that is being taken over by zombie-like people infected by some kind of sickess from within the building. Simple, but SUPER effective. Now, [REC]2, on the other hand, does something that I have NEVER seen done effectively in a sequel (well, aside from Lord Of The Rings), especially not in a sequel that wasn't planned from the start. [REC]2 manages to start at the exact frame that part 1 left off at, but somehow, although the TONE of the movie and the execution of the filmmaking is similar to the first one, they take the story and the film itself in a COMPLETELY different direction SEAMLESSLY. Within 15 minutes the whole mythology of the first one is turned on its head and its a whole new universe, while at the same time, taking place in the EXACT location as the first one. It's crazy. Without spoiling anything, what I like about the approach to REC 2, is that, when watching REC 1, its a self contained story and it's pretty obvious that they didn't KNOW that they would be able to make a sequel. So there were not really any unanswered questions. Yet, as soon as REC 2 starts, it incorporates all of these elements from REC 1 that you didn't even know were even there because they didn't play a major role in part 1, but they do in part 2, which, in turn, makes part 1 even STRONGER after seeing part 2. It's a fantasy of mine to imagine just how "LOST" would have turned out if some more imaginative writers like these tackled it with this approach instead of just vainly going off on tangents and let other writers worry about it later. Anyway, this ranting makes little sense and I'm not gonna go back and re-read this because all i see when glancing back is 1's and 2's and fucking brackets.
REC 1: Shits on DVD. Get this instead of Quarantine, because if you watch Quarantine, the plot points that they changed wont make sense in REC 2. And watch it in SPANISH! Don't be afraid to read, dummy! REC 2: Shits NOT on DVD in the states. I got a Spanish import copy overseas, but it's coming out to American theaters i think soon. You can probably order it online or something tho. Get this shit. It's the Godfather 2 & Terminator 2 of Zombie movies.

10. SKINNED DEEP: This movie gets canned like fuck online. People hate it. But guess what, people with opinions that differ from mine are stupid. This movie has been my consistent friend-guage-meter for years. Watching this in front of people, and WITH people, and going the route of "pretending" it's a serious horror movie, is one of the most uncomfortable experiences that I somehow love to put myself in. Most of my friends are ok with this film as is, and the few that aren't are still my friends, I just don't talk to them ever and blocked them from my phone 'n shit. I really don't know why this movie gets such an asswhipping on the interwebs. I mean, I understand the folks who are used to seeing Old Dogs and Harry Potter and the occasional Apatow movie and Japanese PG-13 horror redux hate this thing, but actual horror movie fans? C'mon guys. Get your replica Romero huge glasses out and take a look at this thing for what it is. Here's a rundown of what madness to expect from this movie, which was written & directed by Gabe Bartolos (who did all of the practical effects on all of Frank Henenlotter's movies) and who shot it mostly illegally guerilla style on desert roads. DIY WINS! Check out just some of the things in this ridiculous movie: Bikers with Alzheimer's, a killer with a giant iron jaw and a superhero outfit, overacting rivaling THE ROOM, an albino plate-throwing WILLOW(!), romance, kidnapping, giant brains, overalls, a headless bodybuilder, angry organs, vomit, and an overall discomfort that you can't help but feel while watching it:) Shits on DVD MAYBE, might be out of print cuz of all the hate. Cop it if you can!
I had lunch with Jabba the Hutt yesterday, and as I sit here still digesting the Mynocks and glasses of Gammorean blood, I finally put up a TON of new products on the ZEROFRIENDS STORE!

You know, this got released while Dave & I were on the road being nomads, so I apologize for being late on this, but check it out if you haven't already seen this. My good homies in Linkin Park did something that no other band has done right yet, but they got it right. The created a full-on, from the ground up, original game for iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch called "8 Bit Rebellion." It's a RPG / Massively Multiplayer game inspired by some of their favorite old school, 8 Bit Nintendo games. And just knowing the dudes and knowing that they are all genuinely influenced by this culture and do LOVE this stuff, it's cool to see that they were able to pull this off to this degree. Congrats, my friends. So check out this trailer for the game and below are the direct links that you can get the different versions. The whole community aspect of it is awesome too. Check it:

As you may or may not know, I am currently working on a book called "My Favorite Monsters" chronicling a lot of my old memories of horror movie monsters and their influences on my art, my imagination, and my pre-meditated murdering style, and I am painting quick watercolor portraits of them all for the book. So, to keep you updated on my progress, every few months we will be releasing a new set of unlimited collectable giclee prints of some of the monster paintings.

"Dishes are DONE, dude." - 'Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead'
Literally, my dishes ARE done. I realized the moment I walked in my door a couple of days ago, after almost a month on the road, that I forgot to do my dishes before we left in a hurry. Upon my return through the threshold, my house smelled like a bum's mouth and there was, for some reason, a pile of dead mosquito hawks blanketing most of the dishes like they had formed some kind of kamikaze suicide pact the moment they saw cereal crumbs. So after I channelled my inner Garfield and took one last bite of the month old lasagna that was caked to one of the bowls, I was left with no choice but to destroy my dishes and bury them in my Native American neighbor's cursed backyard in hopes that they will return as meaner, more aggressive dishes. But they didn't return, so I went to Target and bought new ones.
What I am trying to say is that THE SKETCH 4 SKETCH TOUR IS OFFICIALLY OVER AND WE ARE BACK HOME! And I wish I could cut my right hand off, clone it over a thousand times, and mail it to every one of you who came out and participated so I can high-five you personally. The tour was incredibly inspiring and we were all taken aback at how many of you guys came out to trade art with us. The turnout at some of the venues was so amazing that the line to trade sketches was over 8 hours long! But we are happy to say that we didn't leave anyone out. Dave and I stayed and sketched for everyone at every event. Sometimes even until 1 AM. So yes, in the sappiest, teary-eyed way imaginable, thank you all very very much. We are currently trying to figure out what to do with the overwhelming amount of awesome art that we got, and we are already planning to do this again next year bigger and badder, so stay tuned:)
Also a HUGE thank you to all of the guest artists that came out with us along the way, and to all of the artists and venues that participated and helped behind the scenes too, it was unreal and surreal. Inspiration = accomplished.
ADDITIONALLY, The RAFFLE drawing will be held on Wednesday, May 19th via our Ustream channel! And the winner will be announced the next day if you can't watch the live drawing.
A more thorough update will appear soon, but until I finish going through over a thousand photos and hours and hours of footage, here is a small portion of the awesomeness that was "Sketch 4 Sketch". Enjoy!
