About me:

http://scuzzdemon.blogspot.com/ Somewhere between nursing on goat's milk as a baby and his teenage summers spent sifting through flea market arcana, James began to find fascination in the strange and magical vastness of the marginal fringe. A regard for the toxic forces that transform humans into monsters shaped his early drawings and set him on a path into a surreal artistic thicket of beasts, demons, and mutants. He sees the scores of odd creatures he creates today not as being pulled from thin air or simple imagination, but from a continuum of mythology, or of ancient currents that have persisted into modernity. A reverance for unappreciated mediums of mass production and archaic sensibilities inform Gunsho's work considerably. Regarded as unique force in the realm of rock poster art, Gunsho has been established as a creative screen-printing innovator. Gunsho appears in the upcoming Ginko Press book Juxtapoz: Poster Art, and has appeared in numerous other publications in the US and abroad. In 2006 Gunsho began work on a modern interpretation of the 72 Demons within the classic occult text known as The Goetia. Each demon is the subject of a screen-printed art print. The series entitled "Gunsho's Demonology" moves along while Gunsho continues to generate fine art and has lent his illustration skills to the likes of Heroin Skateboards, Lore Clothing, Ride the Rockett, Kaiju Big Battel, Tokion magazine, COMPLEX magazine, Transworld Skateboarding, Dose Magazine, Heroin Skateboards, és Shoes, Guitar Hero II video game, and a multitude of record labels and bands including Lovepump United records, Corleone Records, Mad Decent, Parts Unknown records, AIDS Wolf, Diplo, Neptune, Landed, Genghis Tron, Kylesa, Horse the Band, and others.
