My Halloween HARD Costume





one of the first things I did when I moved to LA was to go to the HARD music festival right before halloween. i took a white hanes t-shirt and burned it all over with matches. once i was satisfied with my tee's holiness, i rubbed the burnt shirt ashes all over the top to give it a grungy, fresh-out-of-a-horrible-accident look. then i sprinkled copious amounts of fake vampire blood all over it, added some pins  i picked up from pop killer in los feliz, stuck in some safety pins for looks as well as for the purpose of holding my shirt together, and i danced the bloody night away!

T-shirt Inspired by Horace Roye


recently I've really gotten into vintage pornographic photography from the likes of photographers robert heinecken, wallace berman, and especially horace roye. i used iron-on t-shirt transfer paper from blick so i could rock horace roye's photo "tomorrow's crucifixion" from the 1930's all the time. i also took drywall sand paper to rough up the shirt, get some gnarly holes in it, and ladies and gentlemen i have a new fav shirt.
