I'M BACK! (although I was never really gone)

HEY LOOKEE THERE, IT'S NOW JUNE 2011! Boy time sure does fly when you're being lazy. This blog has been a sinking ship. No updates for over 2 years?! For shame. All that is about to change, I swear! For those who have visited this blogspot and have failed to track me down or to view any of my work for the past 2 years, A THOUSAND APOLOGIES. If you are interested in any old prints that I've done, or if you have any questions or comments, feel free to send them my way: jackisthebarfield@yahoo.com ...in the meantime, HANG TIGHT! Updates are a-comin'.

Kill Your Idols Showcase during SXSW 2009

Just one of many FREE gig during SXSW, showcasing some of the latest in "weird punk" trends. Not really a fan of 90% of the bands playing this gig, but I was asked very politely to do a poster by several nice individuals. And it was an appropriate opportunity to use an old photo (from an old Playboy!) of Stiv Bators & his lady caught somewhere between 2nd and 3rd base. Enjoy.
Oh hey look, Nick Flanagan is performing!
SXSW
limited covers for the HELLSHOCK / AGE split 7"
The one on the left (black paper) was done for the HELLSHOCK 2009 Japan tour with AGE. 200 COPIES.
The one on the right (blue paper) was done for HG:FACT mailorder. 100 COPIES.
Commissioned by Keith Testerman (Hellshock, Warcry, Lebenden Toten, Estranged, etc) and HG:Fact Records in Tokyo.
For those keeping score, there are 3 cover variants total. I did 2 of the 3. The 3rd being the regular cover.
AMEBIX in Philly -- Jan.31, 2009
AMEBIX in Austin -- Jan.25, 2009

Not much to say here. I've waited a long time to see the mighty AMEBIX, who luckily reunited last year, and then booked a short US tour in Jan/Feb 2009. Despite being yet another "reunion" band, they did not let me down. If you saw them on this most recent tour, you know what I mean. If you did not see them, you'll get get another chance to see them this coming May at Chaos In Tejas Fest as well as other select US cities.
The 'severed head' on this poster is of my buddy Matt Badenhop of Sacred Shock / Deskonocidos fame. Amebix is one of his favorite bands. It was also his birthday. He had a pretty good day.

Back In Business (kinda)

Slowly rebuilding my studio. Just got a new exposure unit, so now my burnt screens look more professional and less ghettofessional. Still working out a few kinks here & there, but at least I'm not on full hiatus anymore.
Oh yeah... X-Mas wish list? ...DIP TANK!
Art Basel 2008 -- Miami

Four nights of FREE music as well as art (fliers, set lists, photos, books, stuff, etc) featured in Fucked Up + Photocopied and Punk Is Dead, Punk Is Everything, two visual history punk books published by Kill Your Idols, Inc. Wish I was going to this; mostly to see friends & enjoy some slightly warmer weather in December, but also to see bands & hang out. Someone please find me a cheap flight--thanks!
Update: November 2008 (part 2)
Update: November 2008

So I've been meaning to add some stuff here since August, but you know how it goes. The perfect combination of being lazy & busy kept that from happening. Anyway, I'm back, here goes.
I did this print for Prank Records' 13th Anniversary Gig out in SF CA back in late August. Ken wanted some kind of horror/monster-themed poster done for the gig, so I whipped this one up. I went out to see this show as well as hang out in SF for the week. Hadn't been out to the Bay Area in over a decade, so now seemed like as good a time as any. Fun gig, good eats, beautiful sights. A million thanks to Ken, Denise, and the MRR house for keeping my ass off the streets.

1997 in 2008

Just finished the layout for a DESPISE YOU poster I'm doing for their upcoming Austin gig. It's their first time out to Texas, so I wanted to do a lil' something to commemorate the Austin gig. Anyone familiar with DESPISE YOU probably are aware that they were one of the more crucial 90's SoCal Barrio Thrash/HC/Power Violence bands. Despite having a dozen records released (including an LP), the never played live shows in the 90's. But after an on/off 13+ year existence and countless lineup changes, they have been a live band for about a year now. So their Texas gigs are kind of a big deal & a rare occasion. There will be screenprinted posters of this image available at the Austin gig. Not too many (30 or so), so first come first serve.
Enjoy & see you at the Austin gig...maybe Houston & Dallas too!

Where have I been?

Yeah, no kidding. It's been over 2 months since the last post. I spent the early part of May traveling around the East Coast (Philly, NYC, Providence, Boston). Saw some friends, saw some bands, bought some crap, etc. Then spent the middle part of May enjoying Chaos In Tejas.
The LEATHERFACE handbill you see here is the last thing I designed/printed. It was for a 'secret' Beerland matinee show they played. Their set was much better at Beerland than their set Emo's set the night before. A little less rusty, a little more sober. SOCIAL CIRCKLE were great as well. It was my first time seeing them; hope to see them again someday soon.
Late May & most of June has been spent running back & forth from Austin to Corpus Christi trying to handle more stuff w/ my mom's estate. It's really time consuming, and I'm nowhere close to being done. SOMETHING'S GOT TO GIVE SOON. Stay tuned.
Oh yeah, I got my first-ever root canal yesterday. Yay?
