inspiration- alex pardee





+++++++++++++++
i don't like alex pardee's work. which is exactly why i love it. i feel repulsed, yet drawn in at the same time to his creepy and disturbing images, so much so...that they almost seem whimsical to me in a way. he has that raw imagination and skill with a pen/paint brush, as well as the tenacity to put it all out there, that in taken in combination is rare, and that i wish i had within me.

his work has appeared in Juxtapoz magazine, he recently published a book of his art Awful Homesick, he has worked with TwentyTwenty Skateboards and Hurley International (on a clothing line that will be available at Macy's stores), and he has done album art work for several bands, though he is best known for his artwork for The Used.
