Glyph Jockey posted a complete (and very large) scan of the November/December, 1981 issue of Wet: The Magazine of Gourmet Bathing & Beyond Beyond, an essential document for those who want a snapshot of the early L.A. New/No Wave art and music scene. Great advertisements, and the dueling interviews with John Lydon of PiL and David Lee Roth of Van Halen are priceless. Oddly enough, they both come off as smart, rational people...makes you wonder why they feel compelled to act like complete asshats in public. Some NSFW images, but nobody's working today anyway, right? [Link]

I recently licensed one of the photographs in my Live at the Whisky a Go Go collection to Worn Free, a company that sells reproductions of t-shirts worn by rock stars. The photo is being used in the hanger tag shown above for this swell I'm Not Johnny Ramone t-shirt. Unfortunately, they got the date and venue wrong, as that shot was actually taken in 1977 at the Whisky in LA.

I'll be announcing more sellouts collaborations that involve my work shortly. Stay tuned.
