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:

"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...

really like that mode2 and derek hess, plus that first oil painting and of course the lyn christopher.
Mine are pretty full too. Here's some of what i have up:
Screenprinted posters from my Burlesque fam:
Acid Mothers Temple
Converge / Cave-In
Khanate / Earth
MF DOOM
my pinball machine poster
Byrds at the Fillmore original Wes Wilson poster:
"Haight-Ashbury Neighborhood Clean-In" poster by Victor Moscoso:
Acrylic painting by George Thompson
a couple of paintings I've done:
a framed t-shirt I designed:
and this rad album cover:
Dude, Khanate.
Any chance of seeing a bigger photo of that poster? It looks real nice
BOOM.
That is so serious! Just like Khanate!
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!)

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.)
Herm
Yes I do.
Send it to me now.
Herm
(F'reals though, does he have any similar work available?)
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.
Herm
que?????
That's MISTER Homo Thug to you!
Herm
you know im kidding
hahahahahahaha
dope pieces folls. I'll post some of mine later
if i was a girl i would be WEIRDED OUT
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!
Herm
New 4-color paint job.
Lester, Miles, Dizzy
that looks fresh.

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.
Cool.
I'll be his friend if that's what it takes! (no homo)
Herm
lovely pictures dude! i especially like that one.
my homegirl does this kinda thing on wood. West Los represent:
Those are niiiiiice. I was about to ask who she was but then the jpeg properties showed up when I clicked 'quote.' I'm off to her site now!!! (Did you buy those from her?)
