BILLMUND RIPS THE RIPPER
Young children, turn away…
Illustrator Billmund has ripped off the Ripper and turned VCJ’s iconic artwork into a penis. What a loser. He’s selling prints, t-shirts and more. It appears all of his work is based off of others people’s hard work, creativity and originality.

JESS THE MESS
In honor of the Jesse Martinez tribute deck being released today, I thought it was only proper to put together a visual tribute as well. Here is some classic Jess The Mess from his time spent on Powell Peralta in the 80s (and a current shot with VCJ). Enjoy.
