Ahoy Reader!

Here we are 200 episodes and six years into our story and still a long way to go. We are currently in Chapter Ten, Book #2, about midway through Wednesday afternoon. We have an action-packed evening ahead of us featuring battling dragons, flaming stilt soccer, and a visit to the Thuderdome! All this and more coming up, so stay tuned!

This photo was taken in Black Rock City back in 2001, and features Munkus and Neptune standing outside the Netherworld Ranch about to enter the Mud-Wrestling Tournament Supreme. Another piece of evidence from the archive proving once again that all of this is based upon true events, and I am endeavoring (to the best of my recollection) to bring you these stories as they actually transpired.

Thanks again for following along with our story, and stay tuned for many more adventures in 2019!

Ahoy Reader!

NY art critic, Jerry Saltz, recently declared that Burning Man is #fakeart, which begs the question, is Drink Water! a #fakecomic? While Drink Water! is not specifically about Burning Man, it does take place in Black Rock City, so it may be #fake by association. Unfortunately, I don’t have a witty retort ready for the manhattanite in the ivory tower, just more comics to draw and stories to tell. And for those keeping track, we’re currently on episode 191, chapter ten, book 2 out of 7, with a whole lot more to come. I’m planning to keep to a weekly schedule throughout the Fall, so stay tuned for more #fakecomics! The countdown is on to episode 200!

Ahoy Reader! Wishing a safe and happy burn to everyone heading out to Black Rock City this week. I’m not going to make the trip to the desert this year, but I will have some artwork installed at Kamp Suckie Fuckaye, 4:30 & Esplanade. Stop by and say ‘hello’ if you’re in the neighborhood!

Larry Harvey

1948 – 2018

On April 28th, Burning Man founder Larry Harvey passed away. Although I met Larry only once, I have long admired his work as an artist and as a visionary. His ideas have inspired countless people worldwide, and he has left behind a vibrant and very unique legacy which continues to grow and evolve well beyond him. Rest in peace, Larry. Thanks for everything. You will be missed.

Drink Water Mural at Burning Man 2017

Here’s a pic of my Drink Water! mural at Burning Man 2017. It measured 8×16 feet and was pasted up at Center Camp on Saturday before the gates opened. Unfortunately, I was not able to make it out to the desert this year, but my good friend Sharyn Gigglz arrived early and offered to hang the artwork for me. Extra special gigantic thanks go out to Sharyn and her Philly Shrine team for doing such a great job on the install!!! I hope to make it back out there for 2018! Praise Jawn! . . . )'( . . .

Ahoy Readers!

Thanks for following the ongoing adventures of Drink Water! Those of you who remember the print version of Drink Water! released back in 2008 might recognize this image, this was the opening scene for that issue which told the story of a hot and dusty Wednesday on the playa. That print comic will provide the basic outline for some of our upcoming adventures. Which means that you can look forward to a mud-wrestling match, battling dragons, a Thunderdome fight, and a stilt soccer rematch in the pages to come.

Thanks again for reading Drink Water! And stay tuned! There’s a lot more to come!

2016 Burning Man Fire Conclave

I had the honor of performing in the Burning Man Fire Conclave last year, along with the members of the Aish Tamid Fire Conclave from Philadelphia, PA. Here are some photos of our opening fire painting duet, featuring the renaissance fire painter Neptuno deFishi, as he attempts to paint the lovely lady Racetrack.

The ‘canvas’ was stretched kevlar fabric over a wooden frame soaked in lamp oil and white gas.  The palette and paintbrush were also constructed with kevlar wicks. Thanks to Kevin LeVezu & Jay Shok for the photos, and to the Aish Tamid Fire Conclave for the opportunity to participate in such a spectacular show. Stay tuned for more updates, as I’m sure this scene will find its place in the ongoing saga of Drink Water!
