GRIZZLY BEAR TODAY? HAHA YEAH RIGHT.

WALKED IN THROUGH THE BACK ENTRANCE AFTER SEEING A RIDICULOUS THREE BLOCK LINE WRAP AROUND TO SCORE SOME CAFE BUSTELO ICECREAM. I KNOW IT WAS THE LAST JELLY SHOW, BUT WE JUST DIDN'T CARE ENOUGH WITH THAT WHOLE THING ABOUT LIGHTNING BOLT BEING BACK. SO WE WALKED OUT ICECREAM IN HAND, SPOTTED A FAMILY WITH TWO KIDS NEAR THE END OF THE LINE DEBATING WHETHER IT WAS WORTH WAITING AND GAVE OUR ALL ACCESS PASSES AWAY. HOPE THEY ENJOYED THAT VIP SECTION, ... PROBABLY NOT. UNTIL NEXT YEAR...

LIGHTNING BOLT + TEETH MOUNTAIN + TALK NORMAL + HOT BOX @ 979 BROADWAY BACKYARD STARTS AT 3PM

ITS FUCKING SUNNY TODAY AND I NEED TO EAT SOMETHING THEN I'M HEADING OVER THERE. I REALLY WISH I COULD WATCH FROM THE TRAIN TRACKS OVERHEAD. DRAWINGS TO COME.

FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS - BECAUSE YOU ONLY TURN AWESOME ONCE

THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN AT GRAY'S PAPAYA IN BUSHWICK, IT WAS A CHICKEN SANDWICH WITH ONION RINGS AND THEIR STRAWBERRY BANANA DRINK. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND EVERYONE TO AVOID EVER EATING THIS MEAL. I STILL FEEL IT RINGING MY STOMACH.

ANYWAYS, FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS RETURNS TO BRUAR FALLS WITH AN IMPRESSIVE LINE-UP OF READERS. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND COME THIS WEDNESDAY. IT'S FREE WITH A BOOK.

Full DETAILS HERE!

IMPOSE MAGAZINE'S HOLY SHIT! PARTY!...WITH TABLES.

OH GOD, THIS PARTY WAS A LOT OF EFFING WORK, BUT IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT. I'VE NEVER BEEN SO OBSESSED WITH THE WEATHER CHANNEL, PRAYING AND PLEADING FOR IT NOT TO RAIN.

UNDERWATER PEOPLES SHOWCASE AT MARKET HOTEL

THE HIGHLIGHT OF SATURDAY NIGHT WAS HAVING A HUGE RAT RIGHT OFF THE STREETS OF BROOKLYN SLAMMING RIGHT INTO THE HEEL OF MY SHOE. I FUCKING THREW A FIT BUT AT LEAST JEREMY WHO MANAGED TO AVOID EVEN SEEING IT WAS THERE TO LEND A SHOULDER AND LATER MANY BEERS AS WE CONTINUED THROUGH THE NIGHT AT MARKET HOTEL. EXCELLENTLY CURATED SHOW FOR ONLY 5 DOLLARS, THOUGH WE MISSED A LOT OF THE BANDS.

PETR CORTRIGHT

TO BE HONEST I USUALLY ONLY POST ART WORK I LOVE BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY HATERS OUT THERE I DON'T WANT TO BE ONE OF THEM BUT I INSTANTLY HATED THIS GIRLS WORK. THOUGH THE CRAZY THING IS I'VE ALREADY WASTED ABOUT HALF AN HOUR OF MY DAY CLICKING THROUGH HER SITE, SO I GUESS SHE DID HER JOB. MAYBE IT WAS THE VIDEO OF HER EATING A BANANA THAT MADE ME HATE HER LESS, ALL I KNOW IS THANKS TO HER I'VE DOWNLOADED THAT CRAZY TALK APPLICATION.
OH YEAH, HERE'S HER SHITTY SITE..PETR CORTRIGHT

HAIRY DUDE DANCES TO DAN DEACON, NO AGE, AND DEERHUNTER

KUDOS TO THIS DUDE! ANYONE KNOW WHO HE IS? LOOKS LIKE A PERFECT CANDIDATE FOR TRUCKER'S BUTT. AND JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU HATED JERSEY THEY PULL TOGETHER THIS
SHIT.

CAMELIA DOBRIN

I DON'T SEARCH THE INTERNET VERY OFTEN LOOKING AT OTHER PEOPLE'S WORK BUT I SOMEHOW ENDED UP ON HER SITE AND FELT MY NIPPLES TIGHTEN AND PUPILS DILATE. LIKE HOLY SHIT THESE ARE SO AMAZING AND FUN TO GET LOST IN. SHE GOES BY CAMELLIE, IS ROMANIAN, FREELANCES IN THE UK, BUT WHO CARES ABOUT THAT, I WANT TO SEE MORE WORK!

FIASCO ARE MEN WITH PLANS.

SO IF YOU'RE PART OF THE OFFICIAL FIASCO FAN CLUB YOU'RE PROBABLY AWARE THAT LUCIAN IS LEAVING FOR BARD WHICH MEANS VENUES LIKE DEATH BY AUDIO MAY BE LESS FREQUENTED BY HIGHSCHOOLERS AND THE LIKE WHICH IS SAD CAUSE THEY'RE ALL SO FUCKING CUTE. IN COMMEMORATION OF THEIR LAST SHOW FOR A WHILE HERE'S A VIDEO ON IMPOSE.TV OF THEM ON A MINI-TOUR IN WHICH I FIND OUT HOW DELICATE LUCIAN'S BLADDER REALLY IS.
FIASCO PART I
FIASCO PART II

DMITRY KOPYTIN

DEEMS JUST TOLD ME HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND DEPTH OR SHADOWS AND CONFESSES HE'S SHIT AT REALISTIC ART BECAUSE HE NEVER STUDIED IT. I SAY FUCK THAT BECAUSE HIS WORK IS GORGEOUS AND WORTH TAKING A LOOK AT. I'M ALSO REALLY DIGGING HIS ANIMATION WORK.
HOW DO YOU SAY "ATLEAST CARS DON'T RUN ON VODKA!" IN RUSSIAN?

MOMS WHO JOIN FACEBOOK ARE CUTE.


JULIAN DORAN

JULIAN DORAN HAS TWO SIDES TO HIM, BUSINESS IN FRONT AND PARTY IN THE BACK. I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING HIM AT THE JELLY PARTIES AND HE'S AN ALL AROUND COOL, JOLLY DUDE WHO WEARS BRIGHT CLOTHING THAT SOMETIMES ATTRACTS BEES. FIRST TIME WE TALKED HE WAS WEARING A KNICKS HAT, I ASKED HIM IF HE WAS A FAN, HE SAID NOT REALLY, THAT STARTED THINGS OFF WELL. ANYWAYS, HIS PAINTINGS CAUSE MY JAW TO DROP AND MAKE ME WANT TO STRIP OFF ALL MY CLOTHES AND DIP INSIDE THEM. THEY'RE THAT GOOD.

GARY PANTER AND DEVIN FLYNN AT CAKESHOP.

TOMORROW NIGHT GARY PANTER AND DEVIN FLYNN PERFORM AT CAKESHOP LONG ENOUGH FOR YOU TO CREAM YOUR PANTIES AND SEND IT IN THE MAIL TO SOME HORNY JAPANESE DUDE. OR RATHER LONG ENOUGH TO CREAM MY UNDIES AND THROW IT IN PANTER'S FACE, ISN'T THAT WHAT FANS DO?

PATRICK GILDERSLEEVES WOWOUTRAGEOUS

I'M NOT SURE WHAT GETS THIS GUY TO DRAW ALL THE ETHNIC LOOKING CHARACTERS HE DOES, BEING FROM SUNNY SUFFOLK, UK AND ALL, I ASSUME HE'S AROUND A LOT OF WHITE PEOPLE... BUT THIS ISN'T ABOUT THAT REALLY. MAYBE HE WAS AN ESKIMO OR AN INDIAN IN ANOTHER LIFE, OR SECRETLY WANTS TO BE ASIAN, OR HAS AN ASIAN GIRLFRIEND. ALL I KNOW IS I AM IN LOVE WITH HIS WORK, AND IF HE EVER COMES TO BROOKLYN, I WILL MAKE HIM DRAW MY BOYFRIEND IN A VERY REVEALING LOIN CLOTH.
GO SAY HI TO HIM HERE

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUR BOYFRIEND'S MOM WANTS TO BE FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK.

TELL ME?

DASH SNOW IMMORTALIZED ON AN IMPOSE SHIRT??

THIS DESIGN DIDN'T MAKE THE CUT, BUT IT'S SECRETLY MY FAVORITE ONE.

FUCK THE CONDOS.

THE EDGE CONDO MARKETING TEAM REALLY WON ME OVER WITH THIS ONE.

NO AGE + DAN DEACON + DEERHUNTER AT THE BROOKLYN BOWL NOW WITH DOUCHEY EVENT SECURITY

THIS WAS ONE MASSIVE DIRTY CLUSTERFUCK, OUTSIDE ATLEAST, WATCHING THE FIRST HOARD OF SWEATY FANS PILE OUT AS EVENT SECURITY PUSHED BACK THE SECOND WAVE. I HELD UP AN ALL ACCESS PASS TO BE TOLD IT WASN'T REALLY ALL ACCESS, WHICH MADE ME LAUGH. WE OPTED FOR SOME CHINESE FOOD TO AVOID THE ANXIETY RIDDEN MESS AND CAME BACK TO NO LINE AND A SURPRISINGLY UNPACKED ROOM. I'LL PROBABLY NEVER GIVE MY MONEY TO B.BOWL BUT I DO RECOMMEND WATCHING THE HUGE FUCKING CEILING FANS AND CLIPS OF PLANET EARTH, IT'S LIKE SOMEWHERE YOU GO WITH YOUR PARENTS. ANYWAYS, I'M SURE YOU WERE THERE, WE LEFT AFTER NO AGE PLAYED THEIR NEW SONG AND WATCHING THEM ALL PLAY TOGETHER WAS PRETTY EPIC.
YOU CAN JUST READ MORE ABOUT IT HERE, I'M TOO UPSET ABOUT ALL THIS RANDOM PORN DOWNLOADED ONTO MY COMPUTER TO WRITE ANYTHING ELSE.
