Taking some time to focus on some VERY important ART and ARTISTS...

So I think TheBloodyGlove needs a bit of a overhaul of sorts. 

Here's what I'm going to do

...

First Things First

JO RIOU of Paris France

The man is a BEAST!! Here's a sample of some of his goods!

Jo has done some absolutely spectacular work for many bands you've I'm sure already heard of or heard. But here's just another taste to wet the appetite of the spread that is to come FEATURING THE ONE AND ONLY JO RIOU!! I feel truly lucky to have such an amazing artist and an even more down to earth, humble, friend in my life right now. He's done work with TEE PEE Records for shows in Europe. Here's just a few samples...

November 8th 2013 

For those having problems understanding... Jo does his work from pure scratch! Makes you "Photoshop" Lame-brains look like hacks! And excuse me...But you are all hacks if you rely on Photoshop to get your artwork done. Nothing against Adobe, I use their programs as much as the next, but we're all aware of how easy it is to use as a copout for people who CLAIM to be TRUE "ARTISTS" and it's shameful. This is turning into a manifesto of sorts! I apologize for my rant. But I'm so sick of seeing shitty GOTH and absolute GARBAGE "Satan this and Satan that" and "METAL METAL METAL"!! OPEN YOUR FUCKING MIND! THERE'S SO MUCH YOU ARE MISSING! I'm here to bring it to you. If you're turned off by now, fair enough, find another blog to troll or dick around on youtube and waste your time. As long as it's not mine, HAVE AT IT, SHEEP! Getting back to the ART!

The people in the midwest region of the United States are aware of the stellar work that one 

Mr. VON MUNZ is capable of. For Example...

Here's one of Von Munz's finest pieces so far in this 2013 AD ...

Eric Von Munz's work is done in an EXTREMELY tedious manner.  He doesn't just make "Prints". He draws it out by hand and does EXTREMELY detailed cutting, edging and the just the sheer contrast of his posters' work, are a testament to PURE dedication and a "GIFT" that VERY few have been able to harness and make the artwork THEIRS!! That's what's really important I believe. This is just a sample size of what's to come later this week when I do a full write up on both Jonathan Riou(PARIS), Eric Von Munz(MILWAUKEE), Davey Noble(BROOKLYN, MILWAUKEE, LA) as well as Zach and Luke Chappelle(BOTH MILWAUKEE STAPLES). 

#1-Focus on more local product (ie Regional/Local Music and Show Dates)

#2-Focus more on friends around the globe that have been so kind to me and the friends that I consider FAMILY!

#3-Focus on PROMOTIONAL ventures!

I'm taking The Bloody Glove to a whole new level!! 

Look the fuck out!!

A STONED GATHERING FOR YOU UNTIL WEEKS END FOR THE FULL SPREAD!
