On the trip to Palm Springs for Day's 30th a few weeks back, Karlito, Daze, Asprin, Tate & I wandered into the M Modern Gallery while waiting for the other follz to show up. They were having a show called Modern Love which featured many artists interpretations on the subject. I came across this piece (*PASUE*) and took a liking to it. The show price was $600 and I was VERY close to buying it right then & there. "Fuck a CD-J," I thought to myself. Luckily, Tate was that good angel on my shoulder that suggested I wait and deal with the artist directly. (Daze on the other hand was that bad angel that wanted me to give him the money so he could impress the 400-lb. renaissance fair chick with her titties falling out her bustier.) I took Tate's advice and Googled hoLmes when I got home. 6 weeks, multiple emails and $400 later, I now own this:

Chris Remmers
"Loves New Look"
24" x 30" - Oil on Canvas


As you can see, I have a theme going on here:

Derek Hess print (a gift from a ladyfriend)



Thrift store find:



Mode2 piece (ripped from the pages of Frank magazine)



Another Mode2 piece (also ripped from the pages)



A velvet D'Angelo piece (anybody else have one of these? Raer?)



A self-portrait from the ex, the beautiful R*sie



Another sketch from her
(We were hanging out one day and she called me a "fish-eyed fool who's always looking at ass" - note the fish...note the ass.)



This one I "liberated" from her (she was about to paint over it and start over)



Who else you know has a HANDMADE 'ZORRO THE GAY BLADE' DOLL?!?! (Same ladyfriend made it for me. Shit has rhinestones and a pink sword...HARD AS FUCK.)



Forever RR



And, of course, good ol' (G-) Lyn...

    Dude, Khanate.
    Any chance of seeing a bigger photo of that poster? It looks real nice

  • Dude, Khanate.

    That is so serious! Just like Khanate!

    Word up! You got some nice colorful stuff there Mike. Just below that R*sie painting is the framed raers piece you gave me. I'ma need a Mike2600 Lyn to go with the LP, though! Holler!!!

    What's the deal with this Khanate dude? I'd like more info on that George Thompson dude as well. That bird piece is doooope. Any of y'all know of anybody who's work will go well with my T&A theme? I REALLY wish I could get a piece from one of them Mexicomicporn dudes.

    None of y'all have seen that D'Angelo poster before? My friend's girlfriend found 2 of 'em at a local record/CD shop a couple years ago. Convinced the owner to sell 'em to her for $20 each and gave one to me. Then we both had 'em framed.

    Post more pics, hoLmeses! I KNOW you guys got some fly shit!!! (I'm sure the 'non-work friendly' warning is probably keeping some of ya'll away, though. Just tell your boss you're appreciating fine art!)

  • Khanate is (if my memory serves me right) an evil, sludgy doom rock group.
    I'm guessing Schnipper can provide a better description as I don't remember what their music sounds like, just luh the poster.

    George is one of the Burlesque homies. He did all of the most recent Brother Ali and Eyedea & Abilities album and 12" covers. He's now working full time for RVCA Clothing. Check out some more of his fine art stuff here

    Now i NEED to have that record.

    To quote the dude Devin...

    "I'll see what I can pull."

    One of my local spots used to have a copy, but it's been a while since I've checked for it. It's all old Mexican folk songs, but that cover is siiiiiiiick. (Not that there's anything wrong with canciones de mi padre, of course.)

    No dice, Chino. I scoured the racks at my local spot and couldn't find the LP. I'll keep an eye out for you, though. Cool? Cool.

    How old are you again? This shit is art, just 'cause it's got boobies and shit does not mean mature girls will be wierded out. Please believe that the man Hermilo III has no problems w/ the ladies.

    No, young Mack, I bring WOMEN over.

    Seriously though, I was just talking to one of those women about that last night. Those are all hanging in my room. I figure if they get so far as to make it to my there, then they already know how I do.

    Now on the other hand, Moms would trip if she ever came to my crib!

    sort of, like he makes stuff for friends but he doesn't actively sell shit. He is in CON and TAF up in phx, writes Dyez, I don't know if he's been down to tucson lately but I know some of the other guys in the crew make trips down there so you might have seen his shit. I'll ask him if he has anything available though.
