Despite what you might think of Andrew W.K., this new music video is hilarious and features fantastic animated artwork by Gunsho. One of the most interesting choices in this insane video is the use of very loud sound effects that at times drown out the actual music this video is for. Wacky and over the top animations merged with horrible greenscreen footage of A.W.K. doing what he does best, Buffoonery. Make sure to watch in full screen at 1080p and you’ll be exhausted by the end. Writ­ten, di­rect­ed, and pro­duced by Pe­ter Glantz, Art by Gun­sho, An­i­mat­ed by Thomas Mc­Connell. Video Below.

Well this Tuesday must be $200 print day, because one of my favorites Josh Keyes also has a giclee being made available through David B. Smith Gallery this Tuesday, July 20th. This generously-sized 18″x24″ giclee is a signed and numbered edition of 250 and is scheduled to be released at approximately 11am Mountain Daylight Time. Keyes is an artist in high demand so I would expect this print to be sold out quickly. Full image after the break. (more…)
