Taul “Toy Crusher” Waters is a Jacksonville, Florida–based artist whose practice evolved the way street knowledge usually does: illegally, obsessively, and with a sense of humor sharp enough to draw blood. He cut his teeth in graffiti and illustration, learning early how to communicate fast, loud, and without permission. That foundation expanded into graphic design, painting, digital illustration, and blogging—each medium treated as another surface to disrupt, remix, or interrogate. His work balances discipline with defiance, blending professional execution with the residue of alley walls, sketchbooks, and long nights spent refining ideas that refused to behave. Taul draws inspiration from hip hop culture, drum and bass rhythms, science fiction, horror, skateboard graphics, and the kind of absurd life experiences you only understand after surviving them. More recently, his exploration of synthography has pushed his visual language into stranger territory, where machines collaborate in the chaos rather than clean it up. Darkly comical and deliberately confrontational, his work invites viewers to laugh first, think second, and then realize they’ve been implicated the entire time.

Phantom Series: 002

I know what you're thinking. You took one look at that graphic and thought "what in the Alice in Wonderland?". That or you just scrolled down to the movie review (you're wrong for that, btw). Seriously though, whenever I finish a project like this I immediately realize that I've probably watched The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus waaay too many times.

Good news!

The first issue of ALT:VISION (an AI, Glitch, and Synthography magazine) published by Geist (@4e1st) has just been released and guess who got a spot in that joint...
...that's right, ya boy! 15 other killers in the community are featured and none of them hold any punches. Check us out at the link below!

I was 30 minutes ago years old when I found out about this. Getty is just giving this stuff away!

From PetaPixel:
Getty’s Open Content Program Has 88,000 Images You Can Use for Free

The J. Paul Getty Museum added around 88,000 images of artworks from its collection to its Open Content database. People can download, edit, and repurpose any high-resolution images without any restrictions using a Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license. “Add a print of your favorite Dutch still life to your gallery wall or create a shower curtain using the Irises by Van Gogh — the possibilities are endless,” Getty explains.

Listen, I've never been the type of dude to say this about a film...like ever, but I think I made a mistake by watching this...

MARTYRS
>>> CLICK HERE TO WATCH <<<

I don't even want to post the trailer because in my opinion it gives away too much. Just know, if you make it past the first 20 minutes of this film, you're a true cinema soldier. I seriously had a hard time watching the first few scenes because, quite frankly the entire thing is the epitome of "not what you'd expect". Not even joking. The first act is going to knock your head off. I first saw this film years ago and purposefully repressed the memory. I decided to blog about it because of the shock factor, and once you watch it you'll repress the memory as well. Good luck, citizens!

BRUH, the new Alien: Romulus teaser trailer has just been released and I stopped breathing for approximately 5 seconds:

ALIEN: ROMULUS TEASER TRAILER

I've been a fan of the A L I E N franchise for decades and, even amidst the skepticism catalyzed by the mixed reviews of the Prometheus and Covenant films, I still have faith that this will be one of the best in the entire series. I personally have no beef with any of the films except Resurrection (I think it was just unnecessary), so having a bridge in the story other than the reading material that is canon is highly anticipated. The movie is set to release August 16th of this year, so you have plenty of time to dust off your DVD's (or VHS's if you're nasty) and catch up.

A fellow artist and comrade suggested that I work on an audio version of the blog, so I may be putting that in the works in the coming months. You'll get to read AND hear me talk smack to an audience that may or may not exist. Stay tuned!
