Art Collecting with Davey Havok

All around cool guy, Davey Havok of AFI, is quite the art collector.

He discusses with Juxtapoze.

AFI's "Crash Love" is released 29Sept.

old: Welcome To Terror My Love

As my old life drew to a crash about 6 years back, I sensed an urgent need to get back into making art. Specifically, I felt a need to jump headfirst into making paintings that I could show and sell. Well, like any other language, without practice one can get rusty with art.
I started 3 large paintings and finished zero. The concept was to marry stylish images of "beautiful" women with concepts of terror/war.

This is the one I came closest to finishing:

"Welcome To Terror, My Love"

24''x48''

acrylic and collage on board

Reflecting back on the piece after a few years, it isn't that bad. It may be "finished" as well.
I aim to take at least one of the other unfinished two and finish in some fashion.

Best Shirt: DC Crew 82

I just got this awesome shirt of Lyle Preslar, Wendel Blow, & Sab Grey circa 1982 ( photo by Rusty Moore) from Radio Silence.

Radio Silence is a great book that chronicles the visual history of hardcore punk.

Like: Greg Gossel

Greg Gossel is one of my favorite artists that I just discovered recently. I missed his show at Shooting Gallery and will probably end up regretting it more than I already do.


Peep this AMAZING process video:

Gossel is currently showing at Show & Tell Gallery in Toronto and is part of a group show at Andrea Schwartz Gallery in SF.
