Achtung! is 18x18, 6 colors and a run of 200 Signed/Numbered. I love any excuse to mix up a bunch of candy colors and this was no different. I also …made it sparkly on a few colors as well. $40(+Shipping)

I love doing stuff for the Melvins. They’re some of my favorite prints to work on! They’re slaying on the current tour with UNSANE and I hope to see them again this fall on the Freak Puke tour.

What does it mean? I don’t know what it means. Freak puke! Freaky puking. It’s a freak that pukes. It’s a freakish puke. It’s puke that becomes freaky. It just sounds good together. FREAK. PUKE. They work great. I’m not sure where it came from? I write down stuff all the time that I hear, and like. It could’ve come from a wide variety of sources. Let’s say, let me make something up. Let’s say it came from a Bob Dylan poem I read. It’s not true, but we’ll say it is for today.

The Melvins with engineer Jonathan Burnside (second from left) and Kurt Cobain, during the sessions for the Melvins’ major-label debut Houdini. Cobain is credited as a producer on the album.

“Kurt played on ‘Sky Pup’ and the last song on the album. He was just completely strung out, and I realized pretty quickly that it wasn’t going to work. I went to [Nirvana manager] Danny Goldberg’s office in L.A. and said, ‘Look, Kurt Cobain’s strung out.’ Kurt was really bad, as bad as he’s ever been. I fired Kurt from the record. I didn’t talk to him about it. I think he was happy to have it go. I don’t know how it was worded to him. I think they just let him walk away from it.”
