On a quick side note: I apologize to my fans overseas for the new insane postage fees.
You can thank the U.S. Postal Service for the unbelievable increase, and - even with the increases below - I am taking on some of the postage charges myself.

 

 

I've been taking photographs of some of the most interesting ceilings in Detroit. The project (titled Look Up, Even Indoors) will premier as a six-panel set at the Welcome to Detroit! art exhibit.

The show carries 48 artists, and runs from March 14th to May 2nd at the Grosse Pointe Artists Association, opening with a talk from Executive Director of the Detroit Artists Market, Miah Davis.

 

 

I have an interview up at The Aither, which was done by Erin Powell of Awen. It covers my musical history, love of fanzines, and playing with human bones. Check it out!

 

 

For those in the Detroit area this Spring, I'll have a table at this year's Detroit Zine Fest, which will take place at The Jam Handy (2900 E Grand Blvd) on April 6th.

I will have all of my zines and books, as well as some prints and music available.

 

 

Since my Memento Mori 10" is now sold out, I've decided to press all thirteen songs from those sessions on a professionally produced CD-R digipak, and limited edition cassette tape.

Recorded from 2012 to 2015, and using only human bones, it was originally released on bone colored vinyl in 2016 as a nine-track EP. This CD-R pressing comes in a full-color digipak which will remain in print, but the cassette is limited to only 50 copies, yet each contains four extra tracks not on the vinyl, one of which was previously unreleased. You can check out the music video for the first track ("Kokoro") here, as well as track five ("Me-Olam, Ad-Olam") here.
The disc and tape are a mere $10 (complete with postage paid in the U.S.), and are available from the 156 Bandcamp. For an additional $5, you'll get four different 156 stickers, and a chip of human skull!

 

 

The Forgotten Rides photo book is finally available! You can pick one up over at my Etsy. 180+ full-color photos in a 9" x 7" (23 x 18 cm) hand-numbered softcover, limited to 200 copies.

I have also produced a new related fanzine, Forgotten Rides: The Fanzine, Wheel Edition.

It's a full-color, glossy, landscape 5.5" x 8.5" (14 x 21 cm) zine, limited to only 50 copies, containing 22 photos not found in the book. All copies are hand signed / numbered, and available for only $8 postage paid from my Etsy shop (add another $5 outside the United States).
Four of the Forgotten Rides photos have been made into a postcard set.

The four postcard print set from this photo series are glossy, full color, 5 x 7" (13 x 18 cm) prints on heavy cardstock, limited to 200 hand-numbered copies, and presented in an envelope with an embossed silver seal. They are available for $10, with postage paid within the United States, and are available through my Etsy.

 

 

I've wrapped up the Know-It-All Asshole Jerk book, Encyclopedia Obscurum. If you're a fan of my blog, but are tired of reading it all online, then you'll definitely dig it. Over 260 pages, with around 300 entries of bizarre true stories covering art, music, literature, hoaxes, religion, lifestyles, and random weirdoes. With a cover designed by Iron Forge Press' Chuck Loose!

The book is $25 with postage paid. You can contact me directly, or visit my Etsy shop to order.

 

 

Seeing as my Know-It-All Asshole Jerk fanzine is now out of print, I wanted to keep one zine always fully available, so I've decided to repress the long sold-out Musica Obscura, as a new edition, titled Enigmatic Audio.

It collects over 15 different in depth articles on bizarre and rare music from around the world. Topics include the hatred against the early punk scene, the co-optation of underground ideas, postmodernist thought in contemporary music, plus brief histories to the Luk Thung music of Thailand, Cambodia's 60s scene, the transgendered in music, and sex records.
Unlike Musica Obscura, this fanzine will not come with a free disc of 130+ mp3s, but with a downloadable ZIP file containing every song, so you can still listen as you read. Also unlike the previous music zine, which was limited to only 100 copies, this one will remain in print as long as possible.
Enigmatic Audio is now available for $10 with postage paid in North America. Make contact for copies, or hit up my Etsy.

 

 

I recently had a wonderful conversation with Peter Tanski for The Book of Very Very Bad Things podcast: Book II, Chapter MIV (Episode 106). We not only covered my musical, and artistic history, but had a deep dive into politics, philosophy, religion, mysticism, as well as the health of our bodies and minds. Listen in on our talk wherever you tune into podcasts.

Previously, I did an interview with Lydia Lunch and Tim Dahl for an episode of The Lydian Spin podcast (#202). We covered a lot of cool topics, such as truckin', my Memento Mori EP (where all the music was made using only human bones), and my book on NYC's odd sites / sights, This Hidden City. I had a great time, so tune in at your favorite place to listen to podcasts.

The April 7th episode of iHeartRadio's Rust Needle's Record Club podcast (where they analyze a new record every week) takes a deep dive into my Memento Mori release -where all the music was played using only human bones- and I'm honored to be covered. While they said some great things about my musical work, they also had a few nice things to say about my art, and poetry. Check it out, wherever you check out podcasts.

If you're interested in a vinyl copy of Memento Mori EP, there are no more copies available, but you can purchase the digital version at the 156 Bandcamp.

 

 

My other book, This Hidden City, is still available.

Are you visiting New York City any time soon? If so, you will certainly want to carry this book with you. Sixty-three entries, covering all five boroughs (plus two islands), mentioning over 200 sights and sites you have to see in the city that never sleeps - complete with almost 300 photos, and six maps. Weird art, odd locations, bizarre history, and morbid landmarks very few visit, or even know about. This is a must for anyone who loves the uncanny, and New York City. The book is $25 with postage paid. You can contact me directly, or visit my Etsy shop to order.

 

 

My previously sold-out book, The Least Silent of Men, has been released in a second edition. For those that missed out on the original, it's a chapbook on the subject of silence, and a detail of experiences during a 30-day vow of silence while living in New York City. Originally limited to 333 paperback copies, and 25 hardcovers, this edition is only available in a run of 100, signed and numbered.

The work contains a foreword by artist George Petros, a lengthy article on my experience, as well as a transcript of the communication book I carried for that month.
It's $15 with postage paid in the U.S. (with an additional $10 outside the United States), and you can purchase it at my Etsy.

 

 

My photography book, Ad Removal As Modern Art -with over 180 photos of the inadvertent art created by trashing NYC subway advertising- is almost sold out.

This collection of my photographs was released in a full-color, 9" x 7" softcover book, with glossy pages, and is limited to only 200 hand-numbered copies.
There is also a ten postcard set from the Ad Removal As Modern Art photo series.

The collection holds ten different 5" x 7" postcards, with full color UV-protected fronts, and uncoated matte backs, so you can use them as actual postcards, but also frame them, seeing they really do look like modern art pieces. The set is $20 with postage paid for in the United States, but add another $6 if you're outside of the country.

 

 

My photo zines, Vertical and Horizontal, which are sold together as a set, are still available in limited amounts (three sets left).

Vertical and Horizontal showcase 68 of my photographs (34 in each zine), on glossy, full-color 8.5" x 5.5" pages.
Released in an edition of only 50 copies, they are $12 for the set (add another $8 outside North America). Please note that neither zine will be sold separately.
Contact me to order.

 

 

My limited-edition retro photo viewers are now sold out!

Two sets of seven photos each; one set of color photos, and another in black/white. Color set came with a blue plastic viewer in pink box, along with color photo wheel. Black/white set came with black plastic viewer in white box, along with black/white photo wheel. Each set was limited to only 33 copies, all signed and numbered.

 

 

My battle jacket photo booklet, Ready For War, is sold out.

It was limited to 200 copies, and collected 100 photos of my favorite battle jackets I've captured from 2013 - 2018 (107 if you count the front and back covers), on full-color glossy pages. The booklet came with two 5x7" postcards, each with 8 different battle jacket pics.
My photo fanzine, Ready For War: The Florida Edition, with never-before published photos, collecting 48 battle jackets from my home state of FL, is also now sold out.

It was beautifully produced, with thick cover, and glossy full-color interior pages, and was limited to 100 copies.
Stay tuned in 2024 for the complete, 500-photo book!
