This Saturday! in the BK. Fuck the Police.

Jason Yates is a subversive artist, like a bunch of genius folks who can't get their head around the industry and want to pave their own ways, stuck between the aisles, is again coming out of the woodworks. He's in our current issue compared to Raymond Pettibon in a sense that one of his formats is making posters for music bands. And like the raw energy and signature style of Pettibon, Yates owns his own aesthetic identified from miles away - stickers, glitter, mylar and fucked up drawings of animals morphed into characters.. with various meaning and non-meaning when trying to interpret them. Like elephants with penis trunks and cracked out acid werewolf faces representing Ariel Pink or not, we enjoy them just fine. Here's rooting for an artist dipping back into the art world. He never left his own art world, but hey, we've all cut our teeth at some time or another, and well, shit, if we all just stopped fighting for what we believed in and making what's inside outside in fear of a corporate planet ripping us off in one way or another, we'd be in Shitsville. Here's to renewing good faith and ART uncensored. Pictured here is the artwork he graciously donated to our FP Art Benefit to keep our magazine going! We love your work and hope that it keeps on existing, man.
