SKANK TIL YOUR DEAD!

Trying my hand at linocut (I've done it before but only for a couple high school art class assignments). I'm Really happy with how it turned out, I just need to find the right groove with making the prints @_@

I can only assume that Kamala Harris was fronting a late-era 2Tone ska Band in the Bay Area in 1985, right?

“Seemingly lifted from a reprinted photograph in a 1979 report by Melody Maker on the ska revival and 2-tone, the cartoon was sculpted by Hunt Emerson, and based on a fascinating young woman.

Brigitte Bond – also known as Brigitte Saint John / Brigitte St. John – was a huge ska fan, who went on to record for UK label Blue Beat. She was also a trans pioneer, and her ultimate fate remains a mystery.

The new documentary was pieced together by Miss Upsetter, a film maker and designer whose work is well worth checking out.

The film is fascinating – a 30 minute deep-dive into ska, and the life of a true original: Brigitte Bond.”
