Price Drop: Last Give Up Print

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 16:28:39 GMT

As most of you know the litagation has ended but I'm still faced with over $25,000 in legal fees to my attorneys.

In the coming week I'll be offering a lot of new things for sale and discounting various things listed for sale to raise money for my fees.

There's still one Give Up print for sale:

Mitsuko

Mitsuko has a small spot in the new Tarantino film, you can see a few flashes of her (no longer) pink hair around 2:05~2:15 haha.

Here's a shot Jane Jett took last week.

She's been my arm candy at a few events and kept me company (and mostly out of trouble) the past two weeks out here - she's one of my favorite things about LA.

LP in LA

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 09:47:04 GMT

I'm in LA this week staying with my good friend/drinking buddy Michael Hussar.

I can't wait to move out here. I've met and shot some beautiful, amazing girls and made some great new friends this past week...

Sarah Eudy is now Black Metal and Fox is now Sarah and she became an official model on DN today. Some of you might know her as "the young asian girl" that was in my apartment a few weeks ago.

She and her friend "Killer" came over and hung out at Michael's last night and somewhere between jager shots, naked cartwheels, and a collision with a tree we managed to shoot few pretty photos:

She's the hottest lady boy west of the Mekong... Photos of mouth to mouth maple syrup swapping and other unlady-like behavior on the way soon...

April Legal Relief Poster

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 10:46:42 GMT

As some of you may know there's been some major changes in my life, my legal fund poster releases (among other things) have gotten behind but as I demonstrated with the recent Mosh edition good things do come to those that wait...

Over $25,000 is still owed to my lawyers for legal fees... Those that claim I squandered the money I made from prints and tshirt sales on tattoos and other things can eat a proverbial dick...

I've spent over 18k so far the amount raised is a fraction of that. So without further adieu... I give you the most beautiful girl I've met in a long time... inside and out.

Anonymous?

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 20:37:36 GMT

Amelia G from Blueblood has accused me (among other things) of ripping off "Anonymous" with my recent Masonic Legion image...

The text read "My name is Legion... for we are many."

You would think a Bible reading gal like herself would recognize the source:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legion_(novel)

I used to have it as a sample in a song when I toured with Thrill Kill Kult and Front Line Assembly back in the day, I sampled it from one of the Exorcist movies - it was George C Scott's voice. I wasn't aware of anonymous until I posted it and the comments started pouring in, I've also been told it was used in Red Dwarf but I've never seen it.

Had she read the comments in the posting on here and DeviantArt she would have seen the explanation but she doesn't seem to be one for fact checking when there's a sensational headline and web traffic to be had.

Dear Community,

We have some news about our fight with SuicideGirls. We all sat down together and worked out an agreement that is really fair to everyone. We are especially relieved that we can now send people back to SuicideGirls.com to see all of our early work together without feeling dirty. :)

We are so glad to have this whole thing behind us. Good Luck to SuicideGirls in the future and look out for their new book coming out this fall that features some great classic Lithium Picnic photography. We're really glad to end all the bad blood between us so we can all start concentrating on creating great art instead of fighting over it.

Thanks to everyone that helped and supported, I think we've all learned from this experience and hope never to have to go through anything like it again.

We want to make it clear that we 100% have no hostilities towards SuicideGirls in anyway anymore, we all came to a really fair agreement over this dispute, and there were no bad people here, just mistakes and misunderstandings. If you've boycotted SG on our behalf, you helped us come to this agreement, so thank you but the battle is over, and we're all friends again.

To help offset our legal expenses, when you sign up with SuicideGirls, please use this affiliate code so that we can use the money to pay off our lawyers and focus on Apnea's modeling and my photography!

Thanks,

Lithium Picnic and Apnea

Here's what I think of this shit.

Devaint Art and SG

Sat, 24 May 2008 07:58:47 GMT

So Deviant art has teamed up with SG, in some seemingly pack of the devil http://news.deviantart.com/article/47763/, not only do they have the contest right now SG’s are now the official models for the deviant art wear.Currently they are holding a contest for dA members to create SG wallpapers of which the SG staff will pick their favorites. Now I entered the contest and went by what the rules said which was
^{“The SuicideGirls Wallpaper Contest

Look at your desktop. I mean, really look at it. It's kind of dull isn't it? That picture you found a few months back isn't as vibrant and exciting as it used to be, and well, let's face facts, there's nothing sexy about it at all is there? And when you admit it deep down, you've never had a desktop that could be described as sexy and fun and eye catching have you?

Sure you've had some cool abstract 3D art up there, and you've had your matching themes that matched your icons and your Winamp skins, but nothing that really jumped out and made you stand up at attention

Well, deviantART and *SuicideGirls think that's just sad and want to help you out. But you know what they say, the best help is when you help yourself! So to that end we present to you a challenge, or rather, a contest of sorts! And that is to design a bright, fun, sexy, scintillating wallpaper using some of the kick ass stock images found in the SG Desktop Contest folder featuring none other than the gorgeous girls of SuicideGirls. You can also check them out on here as well!

The Rules!

Final Submissions must be of standard wallpaper aspect ratios or size

Standard PC / Mac (4:3)

So there it is, now get going!}

Nowhere in the contest rules does it say you can’t make any anti SG, pro LP wallpapers. So that’s exactly what I did. You can view what I made http://rottencandy.deviantart.com/art/Viva-84778152 it was up for about 2 days when dA sent me this note

^{“ Relocated Deviation
From: ^devart
Date: May 6, 2008, 10:31:46 PM
An administrator has relocated one of your deviations from Community Projects > Contests > 2008 > SG Wallpaper Contest to Scraps.

FAQ: Why was my deviation moved?
Moved Deviation: Viva

Replies to this automated note will be lost; please use the help desk if you have any questions.

Thank you."}

I find it rather funny that my deviation was moved; in hope perhaps da wouldn’t get tons of shit from SG. The truly sad part of this is deviant art is an artist community, where artists are suppose to stick together and support one another. Phil is a senior member of da, he’s brought countless traffic to the site, membership profits and print sales. That has lined the owners of da’s pockets for what? To be betrayed by a site you have proudly shown your work on for 5 years now.

Any deviation that had anything to do with supporting Phil and Apena was removed from our galleries and sent to “Scraps” like it doesn’t have an artist merit, because it is going anti instead of pro Suicide Girls. The sad thing is there isn’t allot that deviant art knows about truth these days or supporting the community that pays their rent, bills and their artistic endeavors.

If you’re as disgusted as I am that dA hooked up with SG, you should sent a message to http://lolly.deviantart.com/ , http://spyed.deviantart.com/ and http://about.deviantart.com/contact/

edit: since I originally posted this lolly notted all of us who submitted anti-sg wallpapers and put them back into the contest. But he has also made some really idiotic comments to people who support Phil in the contest's comments journal.

Oh, FFS

DA forum complaint

Mon, 12 May 2008 10:49:10 GMT

---------- VIVA LE PICNIC DEVIANTART.COM COMPLAINT THREAD ----------

I've posted a sweet and simple, blunt if you're "in" with the news, thread in the DA forums.
It's almost funny how many assholes think they know everything.

$G being on DA = complaint.
My thread = in the complaint forums.
My complaint = $G on DA.

Apparently, to some, that doesn't make sense. But, yes I'm fully aware I left them clueless if they have no idea what's going on.
Which is almost surprising considering. How long has this crap been going on? Seriously.
Regardless, it was just a face first blind folded jump into meaningless threads that people take way too much to heart. =)

Either way...
Feel free to support!

VIVA!
