Red Cup Fulla Weird Water

After a recent NYC show we were toolin around with a couple songs we'd been writing. In front of a camera.
Here's one.

From Beyond...?

Makes sense that I'd be the last to know, I guess. I was wondering why my sister has been ignoring me...

Naysayer

Emilee and I (Oxen) have been doing illustration and design mostly for bands and musicians for the last couple of years. We've been left with some odd drawings that don't really fit any group's particular style... Could you imagine us slapping a "Biffy Clyro" in Horsie's speech bubble and calling it a night? Ha. Just doesn't feel right. But-- could you imagine the weird bugger emblazoned across your torso? Maybe so--
If you dig the Naysayer, help us make him real by voting over at that threadless link below. Thanks!

A Dispatch from This Day I Will Always Remember for Having Won My First Ebay Auction

I can promise that the quality and quantity of music to come from this guy is inversely proportional to the quality and quantity of my late posts. We played a couple new t. Matches tunes at Bottom Of the Hill last week, so those might be searchable.. I think I saw a few camera phones up in the air.
Since I can't much talk about what is to come though, I thought I'd reacclimate myself to posting by showing you some really bad ideas of mine from the past which thankfully never came to be.

It actually really IS ironic that I thought this was somehow twee and ironic at the time. And 60's Fillmore psychedelic font? shudder...

We thought we were on to a series of these doomsday cyborgs destroying images of beauty and comfort. An alternate caption was "ridding the world of all that is evil." What the fuck? I love cats. (See, I really wasn't being ironic above.)

Here's another one. I think that's a flamethrower with a propane body-pack attachment.

alright.. this one's funny. Luckily the Pokemon phenomenon is well behind us (except for the odd revival/epic battle at the end of my last post's comment section), otherwise I might be wasting this very day doing watercolor paintings of these for a line to pitch to Hot Topic. From time to time I'm frightened by the stupid stupid things I make. There was this image in my head last week of a circle of 4 or 5 toddlers passing a pacifier around like a joint, with a caption reading "Pacifier to the left-hand side". I'm still fighting the urge to draw it for a merch pitch to T-shirt Orgy.
