Continuing my look back at NIN's #YearZero for its 15th anniversary with one of my favorite music photo shoots I've ever done, 2007 promotional photos of Trent Reznor for the album. 🧵 1/ ImageImageImageImage
We wanted an aesthetic that felt like it put TR into the dystopian world and vibe of Year Zero, so I used a long “paparazz” lens and shot him from a distance, to give a paranoid feeling of being surveilled. 2/ ImageImageImageImage
For this shoot we just took an afternoon off from rehearsals and drove around an empty industrial part of London, just Trent and a stylist and me, no lighting or crew or anything, and stopped to take shots at any interesting backdrops we spotted, using only natural light. 3/ ImageImageImageImage
Sometimes the right idea, the right setting, and a camera are all you need for a light, fast, creative shoot with great results - my favorite kind. 4/ ImageImageImageImage
One more shot, of Trent walking past a billboard in London, one of two huge in-world #YearZero street art pieces (the other in Los Angels) that appeared during the ARG, and contained clues for the game. Artwork by 42 Entertainment's art team. Full size: nin.wiki/images/7/75/Lo… 5/ Image
The great Johnny Rodriguez, 42’s VP of Visual Design, and his team, with art direction input from Alex/TR/me, was responsible for a lot of the street art/resistance aesthetics in the ARG, including the murals and the AIR flag logo & gun/cross logo: 42entertainment.com/team/johnny 6/

Totally cool and not at all defeating trying to make a living through art in a country that spends our tax dollars generously rewarding the ultra-rich for *destroying* art & defrauding consumers, all while claiming we can’t afford healthcare & childcare & loan forgiveness.
Between the refusal to pay writers, tax loophole bullshit, unchecked mega-mergers/layoffs, and increasing prices, it’s a good time to cancel some of your streaming services, support creators directly when possible, find your fav stuff on physical media, and if you can’t, well… If deleting art to cheat ta...
I spent years developing a whole world for a comic book on the promise that it could carry into a show or movie, and for a second that seemed possible until a series of buyouts cast my IP into the ATT/Warner/Discovery/? void, now collecting dust while I can’t do anything with it.

Friday night pizza party at THE PIZZA HUT BETWEEN WORLDS

In 1985 LIFE Magazine photographed the opening of the first interdimensional @pizzahut restaurant, where creatures from across the realms mingled with human Travelers as part of an ongoing galactic cultural exchange. ImageImageImageImage

This was bothering me too, but perhaps the sci-fi setting overrode the retro Pizza Hut staple. So I tested AI with a straightforward prompt: "1980s candid photograph of a family dining at Pizza Hut restaurant." Some deranged approaches to eating pizza, and the cups are wrong. Hmm I like everyone is staring ...

Phenomenal.
Shame it has to go underground. I wanna walk through a theme park of giant gaudy animatronic mausoleums. Get the brands involved, pick your favorite burial mascot from a catalog like Baskin Robbins party cakes. Family discount if you all choose IP from the same corporate umbrella
My family will take the Taco Bell package. Embalm me in a giant cup-shaped tank of Baja Blast, my body on display floating in caffeinated aquamarine sugar water like a bacta tank. And it dispenses Baja Blast infused with my corpse for a twist of flavor, like snake wine.

“Valentine of the Flesh” was the theme of Satan’s debut show at #NewYorkFashionWeek last night, showcasing His range as a designer and dazzling critics with an unexpected floral twist on His signature themes of eternal torment and suffering in Hell. Happy Valentine's Day!🌹 ImageImageImageImage

Going through my Dad’s shit, I found what I guess I’ll call my inheritance: casino bet slips he placed last year on 2023 NFL outcomes. Power move from beyond the grave to force his artist son to be invested in the outcome of a sports game for the first time.
Anyway, the 49ers and the Chargers are “my teams” now, I am a diehard fan, those of you who root for [the competing teams], you are my sworn enemies now.
Trolling my Seahawks family by telling them how much I want “my beloved 49ers” to eviscerate the water pigeons, and “Dad would have wanted it this way”

Looks like my last honor on this site is to make the list of "antifa" accounts right-wing trolls plan to try to get suspended from Twitter. That's like making a list of your enemies to give them the last lifeboats on the Titanic. Please, shitclowns, give me the final nudge I need
A lot of the interesting people who make this site what it is are already gone. Their accounts remain, but they're not posting/engaging much. You can feel the difference in your timeline. You can feel this place getting uglier, trashier, less useful and more combative.
People are finding a lot of the oldschool Twitter joy over on Hive right now that has been sapped from this place, and people are finding new ways to build communities on Mastodon. As the personalities who drive this place find alternatives, users will follow in droves.
