Superjail Episode #3, Ladies Night.

In this episode from Adult Swim’s Superjail, a female prison ship crashes on Superjail’s volcanic island home. To say mayhem and hilarity ensues is the understatement of the century.

Brian Viverios, Evil Eye, 2009. For K.

California artist/filmaker Brian Viverios’ acrylic calling card is hot women. Hot tattooed and bruised women with ciggys hanging Bogart style from their lips. Right now, Viverios is working on a collaborative piece with another of my favorite artists, Dan Quintana.

Jack Daniel, the creator of Jack Daniel’s.

Jack Daniel’s creator, Jasper Newton “Jack” Daniels was born in September of 1850. Daniel’s birth records were destroyed in a court house fire in Daniel’s hometown of Lynchburg, so nobody really knows what day in September Jack was born on. That means that Daniel’s birthday and the brown-party liquid I like to call “Jack Damage” is celebrated everywhere from dive bars to diners during the entire month of September.
