O.T.K Discipline…Woa!

O.T.K Discipline delivered exactly on its promise. There was art all over everything, and I mean everything.  From the paddles and tee shirts, to the large scale drawings, sculptures, video, and even a fort…yes a fort. It was killer!
Check the pics, lots of fun, and great performances. As always Gio Black Peter tore it up, and this time with local NYC artist Brian Kenny on the mic. Their collaborative paddles were amazing, total collectors item with a purpose.

Jockstrap Font WERQ Pier Gustafson

My friend Nick in SF turned us onto this guy… well actually his blog turned us onto this guys.

If you are a fan of such things (hand type,  calligraphy, etc) like we are, check out his site it’s sort of a mess in a good way but you can see more work like this if you look around

Road Trip Flix Pt 3: Shits & Giggles LA

DJing at Victor Rodriguez & Chris Bowen’s amazing LA jam ‘Shits & Giggles’ had us feeling some serious LA envy. The club 740 is an amazing old theater space that somehow hasn’t been stripped of it’s charm and everyone (including Victor!) was down to dance all night to  the new disco and classic italo sound.  Spank’s #1 Fan Ryan flew in from NYC to give the kids something to talk about!

Thanks again LA we love you, your charming urban sprawl, and all those delicious tacos.

Road Trip Flix Pt 1. San Francisco is for Lovers

We had the opportunity to do and in store event at A Different Light SF and Life Drawing seemed the only way to go! Thanks to Juanita for finding our two super models Justin and Joey… and thanks to Jutin and Joey for getting in their skivies mid-afternoon to help us debut Spank in SF. Also a shout to the Stephens from A Different Light for making this happen.

Buy Spank Issue 12! Double Sided Pleasure

This is another bloody sexy issue for us, more bloody than usual actually. When we were planning the release party for this issue the moons aligned and the date fell on Friday the 13th. So we drew the goats blood pentagram on the floor of Spank HQ and let our crew run with it. Jason Rodgers and Escandalo collaborated to create an amazing and disturbing set of photos for one cover and new Spank fave Nolan Hendrickson graces the back cover with one of his gorge party monsters.There’s lots more inside including round two (you may have seen some in our SEX issue) of dirty arty polaroids from the amazing Donatien Veismann, Carter Smith, Bruce LaBruce, JoJo Americo, and fashion by downtown darling One-Half Nelson photographed by Dex Star G. Get yours here or at St Marks Books and Casa Magazine in NYC.

Del Marquis ‘HOTHOUSE’ First Solo EP Out Now!

Spank fave and contributor Del Marquis has his first solo EP out and it’s a heartfelt departure from his work with the Scissor Sisters. Our take is that it’s like a glass of chai tea –the perfect thaw to a long winter,  warming but not too sweet. A standout is title track ‘Hothouse’ it gives us freakin goosbumps. It’s avalible now on amazon (think it’s on iTunes as well ) for about $4.00, so recession or not get it! You can listen and cop it here.
