TRUK, TIFFANY, AND THE TENNESSEE PARTY BUS

Fellow artist Joseph John Trukovich, AKA TRUK was getting married to his beautiful fiance' (my girlfriend MOLLY's best friend), when their wedding photographer called to cancel last minute. Working with two different cameras I got in and around everyone's faces. I shot frantically, a full suited Yankee idiot in the southern heat I darted around the room snapping away.
I felt like I must have come off like an overheated berzerker strobe light leaving behind a wake of blinded onlookers. After the wedding, which was more work than play, a few of the close friends and family sat back on bean bag chairs at Tiffany and Truk's house and played Rock Band for a few hours while drinking heavily- which for me was the most relaxing part of the day, that was until the PARTY BUS showed up . . .

While Molly and I were chilling out on vacation attending weddings in the middle of Tennesse my friend and Royal Flush Magazine Publisher Josh Bernstein was chilling with JIMMY URINE frontman for the band MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE who munched on my cover after their performance at TERMINAL 5.
According to Josh "The band LOVED the mag." The portrait I did of them for the back cover of issue Five of the mag hit the shelves of Barnes & Nobles, Borders, Hot Topic, FYE and Virgin Megastores nationally everywhere. You can also buy it directly from Royal Flush on their site HERE

5-15-08 POST KEYWORDS: royal flush, royal flush magazine, mindless self indulgence, hot topic, mocca, puck building, drew friedman, patton oswalt, cojo art juggernaut, artsucks.com, cojo
Book Five of Royal Flush is complete. The covers, interior art and writing are beyond comprehension. There are actually even MORE illos in this one than the previous issues. What an honor to cover the book that's stuffed with so many talented artists and writers, most of which are fellow SVA alums. The book is clogged!
This issue features a flip-cover, and the first 8 pages in the back are flipped. Covers by the legendary DREW FRIEDMAN and yours truly COJO, ART JUGGERNAUT. Drew did the Patton Oswalt side, I did the MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE side.
The first opportunity to see the books will be at this year's Annual MOCCA
convention. If you're in NYC the weekend of JUNE 7th, try to make it down to THE PUCK BUILDING. I'll be there SATURDAY JUNE 7th BETWEEN 11AM AND 6PM. Hope you all can make it. I know a lot of you will be there - Drew and I'll be signing books, so please attend if you can. (CLICK IMAGE BELOW)
This book will be carried internationally through the HOT TOPIC Chain. We'll be in every mall in
America - so be sure to swing in there while you are drinking your Orange Julius and eating your Cinnabon.

Socialite Life (SOCIALITE LIFE.COM) art has been revamped, but not on their site yet (if ever). The revamped design was supposed to go live early last year, but I haven't heard anything about it in forever so I figured I should show you guys and see what you think. One of my favorite blonde bombshell bodies I've drawn to date.

The new issue of XXL MAGAZINE came out this month (Snoop on cover) with a cool little 4-Panel piece I did SEE ART LARGER. It's about how a lot of rappers / hip-hop artists are hiring guys to follow them around with a video camera 24/7 to document their lives. The idea was to depict this in four panels, showing the banal daily nothings that are recorded 99 percent of the time.
It's kinda self explanatory. The first panel

In the new 4-Cover issue of WWE MAGAZINE in addition to the GREAT KHALI PIECE I also had the chance to do up this awesome tribute to Raquel Welch's 1966 ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. movie poster (As referenced in The Shawshank Redemption- "What say there, fuzzy britches?") for an interview with WWE DIVA BETH PHOENIX. The interview was written by Matt Berical with photography by David Yellen. I was able to work in my cartoon style, creating the cavemen, the dinosaurs, as well as the feature's header type "DAWN OF THE GLAMAZON" (SEE LAYOUT LARGE). The layout was done by WWE Magazine Creative Director Brant Louck. . . READ MORE AFTER THE JUMP

THE SOFTER SIDE OF COJO

Since most of my work is really hard, masculine, and "in-your-fucking-face" extreme Maxim-ish art, some potential clients are hesitant to work with me because they assume my style isn't soft enough.
I decided to put together a few samples that would work in more feminine campaigns, or magazines like COSMOPOLITAN, WOMEN'S HEALTH, or NYLON MAGAZINE.
