Double Breaks @Double Break
Tuesday, 06 December 2011 /// Written by Michael C. Hsiung
A few November weekends back, I headed down with Travis Millard and Jim Dirschberger for o Breaks, a group show curated by Jay Howell and Louis Schmidt, which opened 11.11.11 at Double Break store and gallery in San Diego, CA.
The show included over 30 artists including Bill Griffith, Russ Pope, Neil Blender, Mark Whalen, Thomas Campbell, Marco Zamora, Deth Kills, Chris Sullivan, Ruth Swanson, Sean Stout, Rob Helmstetter, Christopher Kardambikis, Rich Bott, Jim Dirschberger, Deth P. Sun, Mel Kadel, REMIO, David Cook, Michael C. Hsiung, Travis Millard, Tim Presley, Ryan Travis Christian, Thomas McMahan, Jay Howell, Louis M. Schmit, Jesse Balmer, Matt Coors, Mark Mulroney, and Ed Templeton.
Hope I got all those sites correct. Anyhow tons of folks showed up for the opening, drank tons at the local bar, 3 out of 4 of us who carpooled together barfed, crashed on Jim's Motel 6 floor, ordered a late pizza, and ran over a ham and cheese sandwich on our way home.
Mike Maxwell stopped by with some presents. Thanks for the cards, zine and shirts.
Mark Whalen next to his piece.
Ed Templeton pieceeeee!
Something exciting just happened and I think I missed it.

Supply & Demand - Yormick, Jacobs, Pope and Howell (Part 1 of 2)
Friday, 23 September 2011 /// Written by Michael C. Hsiung
Vans recently sent me down to NY to meet up and check out the September 10th Supply and Demand show - featuring works and a collaborative installation by Chris Yormick, Rich Jacobs, Russ Pope and Jay Howell - at the House of Vans.
I was super excited to check out New York (my first time) as well as see what these creative dudes were up too! This unique show in a 20,000 square foot warehouse also featured food trucks, Juxtapoz magazines, a DJ, a gallery space, and an upstair bowl to skate. My head finally stopped reeling this week. Here's some photos from the trip.

JAY HOWELL – “Pages From Books, Vol. 1”
Tuesday, 21 June 2011 /// Written by Trippe
The first collection of the ongoing “Pages From Books” series by artist/illustrator Jay Howell features all of the skinny guys with boners, naked chicks on skateboards, dogs, beer, rockers, and endless good times we’ve come to expect from his whimsical-yet-crude artwork. His zine Punks Git Cut and animated series called "The Forest City Rockers”, the apex in punk rock cartoons, have deservingly earned him a devoted following of wingnuts, wastoids, fuck ups and shredders.
JAY HOWELL – “Pages From Books, Vol. 1”
4” x 7” book, 4 color, 48 pages, perfect bound
limited to 500 copies
$10 post-paid to mtstmtn [at] hotmail [dot] com

Bob's Burgers
Tuesday, 11 January 2011 /// Written by Trippe
We normally don't link up mainstream TV shows, but damn, the show is great and most importantly our friend Jay Howell did the character development. If you've yet to watch it, do. It's a funny 20 or so minutes.

Jay Howell & Bob's Burgers
Monday, 29 November 2010 /// Written by Trippe
Jay Howell, whose show "Pure Pink" (running through Dec 11 @FFDG), did the drawings for the new Fox show Bob's Burgers which is out this January. It's going to be good.
Jay met the creator Loren Bouchard (Dr. Katz, Home Movies) at Atlas Cafe here in San Francisco. Loren, after thumbing through some of Jay's zines, asked Jay to do all the initial character development on Bob's Burgers which he worked on for over a year... Fox Simponsized Jay's drawings quite a bit, but Jay's super happy with how it all came out.
Jay Howell stopped working on the show so he could focus on developing his own show for Nickelodian with Jim Dirschberger and Andreas Trolf... Might be a good time to get some work from Jay Howell while you can?

The Story of Sue Nami
Tuesday, 31 January 2012, 9:36am
In the days following the Fukushima nuclear disaster, I was asked to make a poster for the Devo show at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco. The image was a Japanese girl, wearing a nuclear t shirt, with the kanji character for earth tattooed on her shoulder. She was dead. I called her Sue Nami, and much to my surprise, the band liked it. ~keep reading Zolton's story of Sue.

| Hola from Tequisquiapan Mexico
Hey there, I just got back from a short residency down in a small town two hours north of Mexico City called Tequisquiapan. I was asked to come down there to meet some of the crew of the Clipperton Project, which basically is going to be a crazy boat trip in March with scientists and artists going out to a very remote atoll in the Pacific called Clipperton Island. Anyways, I thought you might like to see some photos of the town and the graffiti that I was surprised to find there.

| Real Etheral by Evan Mann
Real Ethereal embraces our mysterious relationship with life. It blends the physical with the metaphysical on a journey through an ever-transitioning space where common interactions become extraordinary and perception ventures into the otherworldly. Real Ethereal examines possibilities of unseen realities and metaphorically represents the winding path that reveals before us and conceals behind us; the future remains a mystery while the past fades quickly into the recesses of our mind. We are left with the present: the mysterious reality of our existence; the hair of time difficult to grasp.

Before the show it was pretty much just me and Pacolli painting the whole gallery and doing all the instalations and hanging all the work. lots of shit to be done. I also painted the front of Choque the week after the opening. And we had a little concert at Choque in which I played keyboard and two other folks played guitar and sang. Ephameron went there the day before the opening and did a tape installation as well. During the month we also had a zine/print/shirt sale at Choque as well. It all went very well and we had a blast! -Mildred
