Muffins and buns edition of L.A. Ink Stains!
Posted on 10 June 2010
In his latest L.A. Ink Stains comic, Jim Mahfood illustrated some of our recent wacky adventures where we met Shepard Fairey and his posse, had an awesome photo shoot with a pregnant rockstar/pornstar and sniffed the heck out of some fresh muffins. (The blueberry kind.) Check out the whole epic comic on Jim’s blog!
Los Angeles Ink Stains Issue #40: http://foodoneart.blogspot.com/2010/06/blog-post_01.html
Here’s the panels I’m in. I’m gonna save the best part for last, and break it down in reverse…
Now, Akirophoto isn’t just a master photographer. He’s also…. a master baker! (…Get it?) And by that, I mean he bakes some BOMB blueberry muffins! The kind that smell sooooo good, it rewires the way your brain synapses and makes you into a muffin-sniffing zombie. It’s a really long story, but once we detected the delicious aroma emerging from the oven, the term “MUFFIN SNIFFAH” had entered our lexicons where it belongs forever. And those fresh warm muffins entered our happy tummies shortly after that. Yummy!
That’s me, DeZastro and Jim being a couple of muffin sniffahz!
And then a few days post muffin splendor, we went to this crazy secret house party hidden high in the hills. The guests included Shepard Fairey, Taz Arnold, Andy Howell, Josh Levine and Hollywood Kill. I don’t even know how to describe the event, but I can say there really were friggin’ peacocks in the trees! They sound like wild monkeys. I was like, “WHUT. THE. HELL. WAS. THAT?” And I look up, and there’s these huge ass peacocks, just chillin’ in the trees and hanging out on rooftops. Doing whatever it is that peacocks do. Which is very similar to what monkeys do apparently. Who would have thunk? I can’t post any pics from that shindig (yet) but here’s Jim’s rad panel (more on the party in the full Ink Stains #40 comic):
And finally…. we recently photographed famed adult thespian and kick-ass drummer, Jana Jordan, for our upcoming art/photo book collaboration, The Pervert Train (soon to be published by Jim, Akirophoto and me):
She did actually say that, which totally cracked us up. Jim decided to paint a bunny instead. Good call. Here’s a sneak peek at one of my photos of the very lovely and glow-y Jana, 9 months pregnant (with guest star, Bubblegum!). Amazing body paint by Mahfood himself! (I have a hilarious picture of Jana and Mahfood eating hot dogs but will have to save that one for the book.)
We shot this barely a week ago ….and I’m extremely SUPER HAPPY to announce that Jana finally gave birth to a beautiful baby boy at 3AM this morning! Yay!!! I hope to drop by the hospital with DeZastro at some point tonight or tomorrow to finally meet the handsome little fella. Huge CONGRATS to the new mom and pop!!!
Anyway, there seems to be a million things going on at once, so I don’t really get to blog much (yet somehow I find the time to twitter/facebook through my Google phone haha). So I’m really glad that Jim continues to draw and write Ink Stains comics despite his crazy schedule, so that I never forget some of our crazy shenanigans together. (Thank you Jim, you ridiculously talented and awesome Muffin Sniffahhhh!)
Much love to and from the Pervert Train Crew! …Now, where the heck can I find a Sex Pistols onesie???
