I did the artwork for ‘s new KGW album FACE THE ICONS, which is out today. Upon listening, I told Graham “I got upon the first like 30 seconds WHY Kathy Acker has to be part of the artwork. Holy shit, what a THING. It is the same kind of journey as a good Kaufman set in that you have several waves you go through figuring it out then figuring it out again, then settling into it, then accepting it as what your reality is, and then going oh my god why is this the narrative what the fuck and then asking a million questions then accepting it again. I think you should submit it to fairs.” To me, this is a piece of sonic/performance art—it’s two hours long and is like a Dadaist one man show. The painting features two of my other paintings Graham has acquired over the years: one of Buffy Sainte-Marie, and one of. Those are Acker’s eyes in the back via a Memphis faux-avatar Warholian painting that doesn’t actually exist. Anyway, thanks Graham for having me do the honors!

COVER REVEAL

It's 4/20, and guess what? We are thrilled to reveal the cover of FRIENDS OF THE DEVIL. Get ready to step through the transitive nightfall of diamonds into the dreamworld of the Grateful Dead, where music, history and myth dissolve into each other like a tab on your tongue. Through writing and images, this captivating exploration gathers the songs and culture that have enchanted Deadheads for generations and spills the stranger-than-fiction stories of the outlaws, muses, mystics and cool fools who allegedly inspired them.

Feel like a stranger no more, and meet a band of characters beyond description: An anonymous female convict in America’s notorious prison and Playboy bunnies on acid. Joseph Campbell and the Zodiac Killer. College revolutionaries lost in the desert and Bob Dylan wandering in out of the cold. In Alex Pappademas's kaleidoscopically-written pages, the abstract epic “Dark Star” gives shape to a movie gone mad, and “Terrapin Station” winds its way to Robert Hunter’s brain from sixteenth-century France via the hollers of Kentucky.

With over 100 of Joan LeMay’s paintings breathing fresh new life into the ramshackle, blacklight-ready aesthetic of the Grateful Dead, FRIENDS OF THE DEVIL is a visually rich and rollicking journey—a gift for longtime fans and a delightful, informative, and moving treat for anyone new to the band’s wild magic. Every psychedelic page is a glimmering stone on the proverbial golden road.

FRIENDS OF THE DEVIL is out 11/3/26, and it's available for pre-order now.
MY ARM, acrylic and cold wax on panel, 8x10. She’s kind of “Take On Me”, but Ancient Roman. The other piece in the first photo is gouache and wax on wood, 7.5x5. Both are available; DM me!
I don’t know any visual artists who don’t make an “ugh” face when talking about AI (this is from my interview with the podcast). Come see me near-rhyme “tchotchke” and “Trotsky” in a lyric with the very human tonight at if you’re in NYC.
This arrived in the mail yesterday, which means IT’S INSTAGRAM TIME. It was a glorious thrill and joy to work with the dear mega-genius on the cover art for his very great/poignant/funny new LP, DARK PURPLE SLICE. Bruce and I went back and forth on a lot of riffs around his central concept, which centered around the idea of an intensely loved stuffed bear who was maybe a little worse for wear after living the life of an emotional protector/weapon. I loved and love that concept. There were Bruce photoshoots with a stuffed animal in an alley, a Bruce Bear I painted with his face on it (I’ll share that later; everyone deemed it too haunted/terrifying to use), and dozens of examples of worn old bears to pull from. In the end, this singular highlighting of the creature himself with a collaged Bruce classic plaid shirt was the winner. Kids in the Hall heads will recognize the lettering as being from Brian Connelly from Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet. Album layout is by Ross Miller. This record is deep, dark humor the way Bruce has always wrought it: wry, somehow divine as if Buddhist, brutal, twisted, knowing, and grounded in heart and humanity. Buy it, and go see him on tour. Thank you for everything, Bruce! 💜
“Over It”, mixed media on paper, 12 x 16. I have not been painting hardly at all lately, and I hate it. It’s like I’ve been paralyzed; frozen. I stare at my supplies, they stare back at me, I do other things thinking “Once I get this done, I’ll paint.” I know we’ve all been there and that it passes, but man. It’s rough in the moment.
