JONATHAN MARTIN | DEREK HESS
What are you up these days?
I’ve got 3 shows this year so far. One in Oklahoma
City, from there to Omaha, and then to Denver.
We’ve got the Strhess clothing tour starting in
July with Shadows Fall, As I Lay Dying, Himsa,
and Remembering Never. And then we have the
StrhessFest, which is August 15 here in Cleveland.
How did your style form?
Back when I was a kid, comic books were the
interest. I started to be able to pick out artists very
early and could tell who drew each one. The ones
I liked I gravitated to and I started copying them. I
began taking Saturday classes of life-drawing here
at the Cleveland Institute of Art. The art teachers
always encouraged me...they could tell I had
something raw and they helped me develop it.

understood American ideals. It worked for him
in WWII when the enemy was clear-cut, but not
so much when the enemy was within. Those were
always really cool and were drawn pretty well. Well,
Marvel had read that and just approached me out
of the blue; they wanted me to do some covers for
the comic.
You started your career doing mostly concert
flyers for hardcore and metal bands. How much
of that are you still doing?
Not much. It was an important time in my life,
an important time in the whole music poster
resurgence. I’m talking about from ’88 to ’97.
I think by now interest has calmed down a little
bit. I didn’t get out because the interest in posters
waned; I just started to do so many other things.
I felt like I had done that and I got it down pretty
good. Now I want to try new things, like more CD
covers and definitely the fine art stuff.
Since music has always been the inspiration
for your art, what have you been listening to
recently?
I’ve been listening to Everytime I Die constantly. I
think it’s brilliant. Oh, and I’ve been playing a lot
of this Cheap Trick disc I got. They re-recorded
“In Color” with Steve Albini and it’s way heavy
and live. Cheap Trick are apparently not going to
release it because it’s going to scare away their core
fans. It doesn’t sound like their original recording.
This version of “In Color” is just amazing. Albini
just gave it that kick in the ass.
You also have a permanent display of your early
work at the Louve. How did that happen?
We got a letter from France that sat around for
a while since we couldn’t read French. Finally I
got it deciphered...the freaking Louve, what do
they want? They wanted my first portfolio of
posters and now they’re in their permanent poster
collection. I’ve had bands that have been in there
and said they saw a few on display.
Would you say you are making any social or
political commentary through your work?
Social, maybe. I don’t do any political. It tends to
date the piece immediately. I would love to write
about it on my website, but I don’t want to alienate
anybody or piss someone off. If people want to talk
to me in person, I will definitely tell them what’s
up. As far as social commentary, a lot of it has
to do with the whole situation of 2004 and our
country...where we’re at as a society and how that
makes you feel. This is a core feeling in everybody
and everybody can relate to it.
Tell me about your connection with Captain
America.
That was totally awesome. I guess the dudes at
Marvel read a tattoo magazine that I was being
interviewed in and they saw my Captain America
tattoos. I’ve just liked him since I was a kid; he was
more of a realistic hero. He was always questioning
what he stood for. When I was reading it, it was
towards the end of the Vietnam era. He just never

JUSTIN VAUGHAN | GEORGE TROSLEY
George, I was such a big fan of CARtoons Magazine
back in the late 80’s/early 90’s, and then overnight
“poof,” it seemed to disappear. What happened?
The suits at Petersen were considering new ways to
promote the magazine, to push it further into the
mainstream to compete with the Mad and Cracked
market. Then I got a call from the editor telling me they
had decided to kill the magazine and cease publication.
Whoa! I had a hard time getting used to the idea. I’d
read it as a kid and then later got to do pages for ‘em
and become a part of the magazine. Then “poof” as you
say…it’s gone, and it was.
How did you and the other artists feel about that?
Shock. Plus, we’d all lost a nice portion of our income.
It was tough, but of course life goes on. You pick up the
pieces and continue.
The Krass and Bernie series was your main focus in
CARtoons. Have you tried to continue the Krass and
Bernie story line in other magazines?
No, not really. They just ended the magazine right in the
middle of the infamous “ Blood and Candy” tour. They
all just O.D.’d in their motel rooms…just kidding…bad
joke. Actually, we got requests on our website for Krass
& Bernie stuff, so we offer the entire Krass & Bernie
collection on two CD’s. We also looked in on them at
the Krass and Bernie garage recently to see what they’re
doing today, and found them firing up a flamed blown
viper and holding on for dear life. It’s all depicted in a
recent Krass & Bernie painting “Still Crankin.”
Was Blood and Candy based on Guns and Roses?
You got it. The CARtoons editor, Dennis Ellefson,
came up with the band name to parody Guns and Roses
who were very big at the time. I dug the name.
14
CHEWONTHISMAG.COM
Would you think about starting up Krass and Bernie
again if you had the right format?
Hmmm…the right magazine…the right amount of
gold…Hmmm.
Traffic Jam, the 1951 Merc, was definitely one of my
favorite cars. Back in the day, when the classic car
show came around my area, they had two 51 Merc’s
and I was freakin’ out. Have you ever thought about
turning your illustrations into real life creations?
That would be cool! A few talented model builders have
built really great replicas of some of the Krass & Bernie
creations, but not in real steel. A good friend of mine,
Paul Makowski, built a fantastic replica of the Krass &
Bernie garage with all kinds of detail. It even had the
latest copy of CARtoons in the mailbox! I treasure it.
Traffic Jam, the Merc you mention, was one of my
favorites and would certainly be one I’d like to see in
full scale.
Do you know anyone that has ever gotten a paint job
based on one of your drawings?
No paint jobs that I know of, but I’ve seen tattoos. I
recently designed a full back tattoo with Krass & Bernie
in the Merc with all kinds of other cars and trucks
racing around this guy’s back…he sends me progress
photos…it’s wild!
I understand that you have also done illustrations
for other magazines, including Hustler. I’ve seen
some the Hustler illustrations, and they are mostly
about poop or dead people. What’s up with that?
Poop and dead people can be funny. Taboos, or the
breaking thereof is what Hustler is all about. They want
me to push my ideas beyond normal perimeters, to step
way over the line. Doing that, adding humor and maybe
an enlightened point of view is not always easy, but it is
nasty fun!
Where do you come up with these ideas?
Mostly the news. The insanity is endless, not only in the
US, but everywhere in the world. It’s the humanoids…
they’re the problem and I make fun of any and everything
they do. Again, not as easy as it looks, but fun!
Have you every met Larry Flynt?
Yes. I’ve known Larry since 1977, from before he was
shot. He’s a very astute businessman and loves causing
ornery trouble, combine that with full nudity and you
get Hustler Magazine. He also happens to love cartoons,
so it’s been cool working for him for well over 25 years.
Never a dull moment with the man.
Who are some of the illustrators that have influenced
you over the years?
Wow, so many…Disney, Pete Millar, Roth, Robert
Williams, Crumb, Rodriquez, Gahan Wilson, Charles
Adams, Arnold Roth…the list goes on. I’ve always been a
big fan of cartoons, even as a little kid.
What techniques do you use to create your illustrations?
I work on tissue paper and a light board. This allows
me to trace my rough onto good paper and move things
around if I like. I ink in felt tip pen, and use dyes,
acrylics, markers, and pencils for tone and color. I’m
up at my board early and work late. When all is said and
done it’s a “hand made” product I’m producing, and
they take time. No way around it.
Standard question that we ask everybody…What do you
think of the band Journey? What’s your favorite song?
I noticed that. Strangely enough I’ve always been
a Journey fan. I think Steve Perry’s voice can be
unbelievably moving at times and can kick butt too. I
guess if I had to pick only one it’d be, ”Who’s Crying
Now,” “Don’t Stop Believing,” and “Anyway You Want
It.”
What are your plans for the future? I really think there
should be a Krass and Bernie animated series.
Krass & Bernie animated? Yes, let’s do it! I’m ready!
Really though, I’m enjoying my life, so more of the same
would be great.

Jeff Soto
JOHN YAMASHITA | JEFF SOTO
Describe yourself?
I am 29 years old. I’m 5’8” tall, 185 lbs, greenish eyes,
brown hair with a receding hairline, and I’m usually
scruffy because I hate shaving. I wear the same pants
day after day, usually wearing sandals in the summer,
no piercings but I am tattooed. My ancestry is a mix of
European with some Sioux and Hispanic traces. Besides
making art, I like to walk, travel, go to the batting cages,
listen to music, build plastic models, and look at plants,
I’ve never had an STD. I have 12.8 GB of music on my
40GB iPod, and I’m a Mac user since 1996. I used to
collect things like: Garbage Pail Kids, marbles, rocks,
and Star Wars toys. I now collect things like art books,
original paintings, cacti, prints, lucky cats, and cool
refrigerator magnets. I’ve been married for two years.
We live in a two bedroom apartment where they don’t
allow pets, but if they did we’d have lots of cats. Yeah,
I love cats.
So what’s up with robots?
Robots were just part of my upbringing- Robotech, Star
Wars, Transformers, etc. There were so many interesting
robots in popular culture; the 80’s were saturated with
them. It just felt natural to be painting them. But
lately I’ve been wanting to paint anything BUT robots.
Especially after the Juxtapoz article, which was really
cool, but it looked like all I painted were robots.
How has your style changed over the years?
I think in the past two years I’ve gotten away from the
strong influence of some of the teachers I had. To be
specific Jason Holley, the Clayton Bros. and Alex Gross.
Like any student of art I looked up to my instructors,
they were my heroes and I’m sure some of what they were
doing rubbed off on my work. Now, hopefully, people
can see the difference. The influence will always be there
though.

CHEWONTHISMAG.COM
Do you have a goal/dream in mind for your life as
an artist?
I’d just like to be able to create art for the rest of
my years. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t care about
continuing to show in galleries. It’s a thrill to create
a new body of work and put it on display for people
to see. I’d like to do a big museum show of all my past
work sometime when I’m in my 80’s. That’d be cool.
If you could meet one of your heroes who would it be?
There’s an English illustrator named Patrick
Woodroffe, I’d love to meet him. I checked his work
out all the time when I was a kid, and I think it’s one of
the things that led me down my artistic path.
Tell a story about being an artist in America.
I don’t know if this is a story, I guess it’s more of a
stereotype. Many Americans always seem to think that
all artists are struggling artists, y’know the “starving
artist” stereotype. People don’t look at art as a career
and it pisses me off. There are some artists that are
doing very, very well here. Sure, most artists are
struggling, but it doesn’t mean all of us are. I hope that
someday Americans will take the arts seriously.
Describe a life changing moment.
It sounds pretty dorky but in 2001 I was visiting NY
and got tattooed on my left forearm by my homie RG.
In my mind it was a life changing decision because it
was a very visible piece that would be hard to cover up.
Right there and then I decided I wanted to be an artist
who worked for himself. I decided I’d be my own boss
and never work under anyone else’s rules. The tattoo
was symbolic of me telling the world to fuck off, I was
going to live by my rules and do my thing. It put me in
the mindframe to work hard and do the best I could
do. So far things have worked out, hopefully I can keep
this up for a long time.
Do you drive a hybrid or would you?
I drive a ‘99 Saturn. I’ve thought about a hybrid vehicle,
but I’m not looking to buy a new car for a few years.
I think they’re a really good idea, I just wish they’d
make a truck version. Nothing gigantic or anything,
but something I could haul my paintings around in.
I’d totally drive a hybrid truck, if it were affordable. I
wish I could take public transportation, but it’s not very
efficient where I live because everything’s spread out.
What is something people would be surprised to find
out about you?
I’ve been with the same girl for 12 years. Jennifer and I
met in high school and have been together ever since.
What was the last cd you bought?
I bought Gun’s N Roses “Appetite for Destruction” on
the iTunes Music Store. It was one of my favorites back
in junior high. The songs still rock after all these years.
Describe a happy place for Jeff Soto?
I’m happiest when I’m away from the stresses of working,
so anywhere on vacation would be a happy place to me.
I always love the Sequoias. Camping makes me very
happy. I like serene places where you can hear the wind
whipping through tall trees and the stars at night light
up the ground.
What’s on the horizon?
Too many art shows! I’m also working on a book with
Holy Water UK, and there’s a possibility of a Soto vinyl
toy sometime in 2005.
Do you vote?
Hell yes! You’re a fool if you don’t vote after what
happened with the Florida recount.
Bush or Kerry?
I’m registered as an independent but I’ve voted
Democrat in the past two presidential elections. I really
couldn’t believe what happened in 2000. I mean, Bush
just didn’t seem like presidential material. I couldn’t
believe Gore lost to him. People blamed Nader, but I
think the Dems just ran a shitty campaign. Then Bush
was appointed (not elected) president and we got to see
what a war monger he is. So yeah, Kerry has my vote. He
seems pretty cool. Not perfect, but definitely headed in
the right direction. Bush is just out of touch, especially
with the youth of our country, and he just seems like a
bumbling idiot in the eyes of other nations.
What would you do if aliens abducted you?
Try to milk them for information about the universe
and existence. Then I’d ask them to kindly remove the
anal probe.

CHRISTIAN DETRES
I stand in front of the fogged mirror, dripping hot water and sweat, trying to
hold back a smile and yet curiously proud of the denuded grandeur that are
my brand new Brazilian-waxed genitalia. I pose, suck in the gut, inspect from
different angles and basically crack myself up. I feel like I could skip around
the front yard naked, running through sprinklers and such, and the neighbors
would think it’s cute. My balls are bald! I think I could write this whole article
simply about the profound image of my Hair Club for Men-challenged
naughty bits.
I am overtly, often cartoonishly heterosexual (to the feminist disgust of my
female friends) and am somewhat concerned with the rep that goes along
with such a thing as nut hair care. So why, why would I go through such an
excruciating procedure? I thought it would be funny. This would be haha
funny, not “didn’t I see you at Fieldens in a halter top last night?” funny.
Brazilian waxes were made popular by shrinking bikini sizes and the grim
realization that 70’s porn looks like wildlife husbandry filmstrips. They have
been a staple grooming process in recent decades for women in their search
to pluck, tweeze, rip off or blast, anything that grows south of their neck. The
procedure got the attention of the drag queen community and twinks (check
your gay glossary) as well, and now seems to be heading into the mainstream.
Do I care? No, I just thought it would give women an honest excuse to ask if
they can see it. It works! I tried this. I think I’m going to install some theatre
curtains on the front of my pants and charge a quarter each time I raise it. I’ll
have to wear a top hat and affect a vaudevillian freak show announcer’s voice.
Ooh, and I can teach it tricks! Hmmmm, maybe not. For those of you thinking
you may want to experience the joys of having much in common with Dr. Evil
and his “shorn scrotum”, let me describe my experience. I’ll try to provide
some tips on how to successfully navigate your way through the humiliation
and doubt that will certainly plague you throughout the ordeal.

Things you must do before you go:
1. Make an appointment (duh) - Try not to laugh and make obviously selfdeprecating homophobic jokes in the fears that the hot receptionist might
think you play for “the other team”. 2. Bring a documentarian/friend with a
polaroid – Their insane laughter will force you to at least smile. Try to get them
NOT to fall all over the sensitive medical equipment in the office through
blind howling cackles. Encourage finger pointing. 3. DRINK HEAVILY.
Thanks to a clothing designer friend of mine, I was encouraged to break
out the office Rum supplies and consume 1/2 of a fifth (that was ALMOST
enough), while placing an order for an upcoming photo shoot. God knows
what I ordered. 4. Pick a place far from home. You do NOT want your moms’
neighbor pruning the bushes. 5. Take a goddamn shower. Use soap – lots.
Enjoy the last few moments with your thatch. Love the afro from below just
once more. 6. To prepare for the pain, stick hot pokers in your ass and or dip
your balls in hot New England clam chowder. Training is good.
Things to do while there:
1. The lady that sent me back to pre-pubescence was HOT and had a sexy
Spanish accent. I was scared of waking the intrepid little soldier during the
inevitable manipulation, but the candle growing out my arsehole had most of
my attention – so no problem. 2. Do NOT hit on said technician (they call
themselves that). Remember, you are drunk and naked from the waist down.
You are lying on a table and she is in control. This is not the time to be cheeky
as she is about to determine the extent of the pain you are about to endure.
3. When you leave – tip. You may feel a bit betrayed by this person that just
deflowered you but she did agree to have her hands in your ass-crack. I wouldn’t
do that for my own mother. Give her something good out of the experience
besides getting the pleasure of a front row seat to the fudge factory.
Things to do afterwards:
1. Drink MORE. Alcohol is your friend right now, the others are only
interested in using you as a sideshow. “Christian – hey, show ‘em your nuts!”
2. Show ‘em your nuts. Yes, there is no other point to doing this unless you
are an Olympic swimmer or Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. These babies are
for show. Oil ‘em up, and serve ‘em on lettuce! They’re perfect for dipping,
slapping and dammit, they look good! Show them off! 3. Most of the fun you
will have with your new look is in private. Enjoy these moments of petting
your pelvic area. I promise you, you WILL break out the measuring tape, you
WILL stare at it for more than a minute a day, and you will walk tall and have
newfound confidence in your manhood. Haha, except for those of you out
there with little penises, hehe.
Special thanks to the fine ladies at Claudia’s Salon who did not laugh too hard
or make too many jokes about my screaming. I was laughing most of the time,
I promise. Go see them and ask them to make you Brazilian:

DANIEL ROBERT EPSTEIN
I would imagine that Jon Heder is the first Mormon that I have ever interviewed for Chew On This. But he has every
right to be here because he is the star of the film, Napoleon Dynamite, which many are saying could develop a large
cult following on the scale of Donnie Darko or Ghost World.
From Preston, Idaho comes Napoleon Dynamite who spends his days drawing mythical beasts, fighting with his
32-year-old brother Kip [played by Aaron Ruell] and avoiding his creepy Uncle Rico [played by Jon Gries]. But
Napoleon and his two new friends launch a campaign to elect one of them for class president. But for that to happen
Napoleon will have to unleash his secret weapon.
You look so different from the way you did in the movie.
Well it’s been a year since we made the movie. Also we
were in the background of The Today Show trying to get
people to see my Napoleon Dynamite shirt.
Napoleon will say he has 50 million best friends but I
had actual friends and I am a much better artist than
him. In fact I drew the pictures that Napoleon drew in
the movie.
How close are you to the character of Napoleon?
[laughs] He’s a personal friend.
Napoleon comes off as kind of a dick.
He can be jerkish but he has a heart of gold. He says a lot
but he can’t do it. Did he shoot 50 wolverines? Never!
He wouldn’t hurt a fly. He’s the kind of guy who talks
about hunting but when you give him a gun, he doesn’t
do anything. He’s only a jerk to those who pose a threat
to him. As soon as he sees his brother Kip having a good
day, he feels happy for him. Uncle Rico is a jerk to him
so he’s a jerk back to Uncle Rico. He’s an animal in
the wild who when attacked, defends himself.
[co-writer/director] Jared [Hess] and I got so much of
him from our younger brothers and ourselves. I have a
younger brother and Jared has four younger brothers.
That’s where we got a lot of the mannerisms. My younger
brother is where I got the “You’re so stupid”.
How much do you have in common with him?
In high school I used to create languages on my own.
The high school jocks used to make fun of me so I
decided not to do as much dorky stuff. Growing up I
used to read all about the Loch Ness Monster, UFOs
and that sweet kind of stuff that some people consider
dorky but whatever, it’s sweet. Young boys think the
Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot are sweet because of the
mystery. Napoleon wants to escape on his Pegasus into
his fantasy world.
I have a lot of dorky qualities. So this role is making fun
of myself in a lot ways but in high school I didn’t have
his dorky hair and I wasn’t as socially clueless as him.
26
CHEWONTHISMAG.COM
How do you see Napoleon?
I make fun of so many people in my life like my wife
and my best friends. We make fun of the people we
love. To me life is making fun of stuff in a totally
light way. I love my younger brothers but I make
fun of them. If people and characters weren’t odd
or quirky they would be boring. We definitely want
people to love Napoleon but in the end he hasn’t
changed a lot but he’s feeling like gold. He helped
his best friend become class president and he’s
playing tetherball with the girl he likes. All he
wants is someone to play tetherball with.
I have met kids that have seen the movie six times
and it hasn’t even come out yet. Have you met those
rabid fans?
I met a few. But before we did this movie we did a short
film, with the same characters, called Peluca. We did it
in the same town and it became a big cult classic in the
Utah area. But I was talking to my wife the other day and
she said she got a call from some kids who called every
state in the United States to find me. She gave them my
cell phone number and they called me going “Oh my
gosh!”
Why is it so funny when Napoleon gets picked on?
I think people laugh because of the way he reacts to it. If
I was standing there watching it happen I would wonder
why they are picking on him but it’s still funny. But he’s
just going to brush it off.
I’m a big fan of character actors like Jon Gries. What
was it like working with him?
I’m 26 so I grew up watching him in Real Genius so
I thought that was sweet because that’s a little chunk
of film history. I haven’t seen Running Scared but he
was telling me about it, so I want to. He was awesome. I
thought he was one of the coolest people to work with.
He’s been in the business for so long but still he talked to
everyone on the set. Obviously he was there for the film
and not for the money because it was such a low budget.
He thought it was a great script.
Is being a character actor something you aspire to?
Sometimes when studios see someone playing a nerd
in a low budget movie they will cast them as a nerd in
a big budget movie.
I don’t want to be a situation where they want me to be
like Napoleon.
Are you being offered anything?
I just moved out to Los Angeles so I’ve got an agent and
read scripts but nothing has been offered. It’s still pretty
low key so we’ll see what happens after the movie opens.
You graduated from Brigham Young University so did
you grow up a Mormon?
Yes.
Did any of the Mormon experience make its way into
this movie Napoleon Dynamite?
Well we grow up with certain standards so that might
contribute to a certain innocence. I don’t think any
references are in it but I grew up as a Mormon and I
pulled from me so obviously it is mixed in.
27
CHEWONTHISMAG.COM
Do you think you will get sick of saying, “Sweet”?
I say it a lot more now because it’s become natural. I
used to say it when I was younger so it’s kind of getting
me back to my childhood.
Did you train for that dance?
I didn’t train, practice or do anything. I just got up and
danced. My experience with dancing is a few really small
talent shows that my friends put on.
Jared has been described as wacky and his wife Jerusha
[co-writer and costume designer] as grounded. How
true is that?
Definitely true. Jerusha was the total mother figure on
the set. Between takes I would rush back to the wardrobe
to play some videogames and she would always be there
telling me to try on some clothes. She would make sure
that everything is organized while Jared is floating off
into his world and doing his thing.
We shot the movie in 22 days and the dance was one
of the last days. I thought maybe I should choreograph
something but I don’t know how to do that. My dance
experience is after a shower I put on Jamiroquai and
dance. I’m a huge fan of music like disco and funk,
anything you can dance to. When it came down to it I
just went up there and felt the music. It was one of the
hardest things to shoot because when the cameras started
rolling I got nervous. When my wife saw the movie she
said, “That’s not your best moves.”
How did you and Jared first meet at Brigham Young?
We were in a couple of classes together and had worked
on a few student films together. I was in one or two short
films before that and after he saw those he thought I had
some experience with acting. Then after the success of
the short film he knew I could pull off the character.
Were you a fan of Saturday Night Fever?
Oh yeah! Half the moves in the dance I do are from
John Travolta.
The movie got nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at
Sundance [Film Festival]. What was that experience
like?
It was insane. Sundance is where everything happened,
like it getting bought and people starting to catch onto
the movie. It was never my expectation for those things to
happen but I was hoping. At the first screening I realized
it was funny and everyone was laughing. That was when
all the agents and managers came up to us.
Do you see yourself continuing acting?
I was an animation student at Brigham Young. I really
want to do animation and acting. Animation is more of
a tangible ability so if I don’t make it in acting I can do
animation but I don’t want to use either as a fallback.
Could you see an animated Napoleon Dynamite?
I do computer animation and I can only see Napoleon
Dynamite as 2D animation.
As Napoleon Dynamite could you tell us what its like
to be interviewed?
[in Napoleon Dynamite voice] Um. I don’t really know
a lot about doing this. It’s pretty weird but it’s pretty
sweet I guess. New York is pretty sweet I guess. They’ve
got that Natural Museum with the history of those sweet
dinosaurs. I especially like the T-Rex cause he kills
smaller weaker animals. It’s pretty sweet.

Bob Gorman
JONATHAN MARTIN
Bob Gorman began working with Slave
Pit and GWAR in 1988. After a two
year stint of part time involvement,
he dropped out of art school and
has been involved almost full time
ever since. At first his involvement
was merely prop fabrication and live
character roles. But over the years this
has evolved into a multitude of other
roles. A contributing writer, penciler,
inker, and colorist to the Slave Pit’s
self-published “Slave Pit Funnies,”
three tours of stage managing GWAR’s
live show, and shop foreman for the
fabrication department, are among a
few of thoses roles. After moving to
New York City in the fall of 2000, Bob
became involved with the Subculture
Gallery, and regularly showed his own
work there until the gallery’s closing in
late 2001.
The Slave Pit fabrication shop came
out of a one year slumber, and Bob
returned to Richmond in the fall of
2001 to once again collaborate with
the artists and musicians in GWAR.
Several tours later he still resides in
Richmond, and is currently working
on a history of GWAR “coffee-table”
book and a GWAR documentary,
as well as his own artwork, custom
sculpture bicycles, and several old
MOPARs.

CHEWONTHISMAG.COM
Where did this start for you?
It started in college, at VCU. When I came to VCU, I was into very cartoony monsters, and that type of
stuff wasn’t well received there. And then I saw GWAR. They hadn’t really gone out of town at that point.
I started going over to their warehouse working on various props. The more I worked there the less I
wanted to be at college. I was in art school for 3 years and started missing their shows. I missed their first
European tour...that’s when I quit art school.
How many people are now in Gwar?
Right now, we’ve got about 10 main people. On the road, you need a roadie, a lighting guy, a tour
manager, costume makers, and there are 5 people in the band. It’s like a commune; we all come up with
the ideas together. It’s a real collaboration, there’s no one person telling everyone else what to write or
build. That’s the strength. I know some people may not think of us as “in the band” because we don’t
play an instrument, but GWAR is a not band of 5 musicians...it’s a group of artists. There are the five
musicians and 5 artists at this point.
We had some guys who didn’t really quit, they just stopped touring, who were some of our strongest
artists and best sculptors. But they have wives and houses now and don’t want to tour for a half of a
year at a time. It’s not like it used to be where everyone had to do everything. We all lived together and
worked together. We’ve been a corporation now for 14 years. That’s how we look at it, either you are a
shareholder or you are a hired gun.
Model — Carolyn; Skirt by Killah, Top by Miss Sixty
We argue a bit but what it comes down to ultimately is a compromise. Everything is a compromise; even
working at McDonalds there are compromises. This is less of a compromise. I’ve done plenty of other
jobs outside of GWAR, but I keep coming back because it’s how people know me. When people see my
art, they know it because they’ve seen it in concert, on t-shirts, and in comic books. It’s the coolest thing
I’ve done and I’m very aware of that. I love it.
Model — Mary; Skirt by To The Max!, Top by American Apparel
What’s in store for the future?
The musicians just recorded a new album, it’s very metal. I was very pleased when I heard
it. That comes out October 5th, and we’ll be on the road instantly after that. We’re doing
a couple of shows to get out to Vegas and start the tour and continue up to the end of the
year. With our new label, DRT, we have worldwide distribution and we’ll hopefully be
going to Europe at the beginning of 2005.
Personally I would like to get away from the way we’ve been doing things as far as just
touring. And we are because everyone is getting a little bit older now. I think it would be
really great to do a rock musical, come up with the ideas, write the music and then other
people can do it. We could still live our lives, make some money, but not have to tour
6 months out of the year. Right now everyone has some really great ideas. But for sure,
the musicians are going to continue to make crazy albums and we’ll continue to come up
with crazy ideas and props. But I would like to see this mature into the theater. Though
sometimes the ideas are way to too wild, the sex thing. We kind of shot ourselves in the
foot with that.
The sex thing?
You know, the giant dicks. It’s hilarious and everything. In Europe, it’s no big deal. They
are a little more liberal about that kind of thing. But when America sees a giant dick, oh my
God! I see all the mock sex and the mock violence as all very healthy. There has never been
a show where someone has left and murdered or raped someone. And I don’t believe our
shows encourage it. 19 years playing shows 6 months every year to thousands of people every
night, and it has never happen. It’s a healthy release. Getting to see George Bush killed on
stage, getting covered in fake blood. It’s really harmless, they go home feeling good.

CHEW LOVES
JOURNEY
CHRISTAIN DETRES
Journey is. They just ARE. Timeless songs best played at last call in your favorite bar, on a road trip to nowhere,
or during an intense air guitar session in your apartment. I’m sure you’ve noticed if you read this magazine on
a regular basis, that Journey is important to us. We were incredibly happy to talk to Jonathan Cain, keyboardist
and writer of some of Journey’s biggest hits, about the peaks and valleys of being in this seminal rock band.
CHEWONTHISMAG.COM

The attention Journey is getting recently is intense. How
do you process this whole resurgence of interest in the
band?
I’ve got to say, it’s been hard coming back without Steve
Perry (longtime, but not original, lead singer). There
was a lot of skepticism in 1998 when we replaced him
with a virtual unknown, Steve Augeri, to front a band
with such a long history. But Journey has always been
about the songs, not about Steve Perry. He and I wrote
about 2/3 of the songs together. He is missed, but not
to the degree that we can’t move on. That voice is of
course special to the chemistry that made us work, but
I think Steve A. has everything it takes to fill his shoes.
The love we’ve gotten from our fans has been amazing.
We just played the show that you went to at Wolf Trap
Amphitheater. We sold more than 15,000 tickets. I am
overjoyed at the fact we’re connecting with a younger
audience. That happens in music though, old becomes
new in cycles, and I guess we’re the new flavor from the
past. Teenagers that heard us then, back in the 80’s, are
playing our old songs for their kids.
It really does. There are several songs of yours that I
feel easily could be sung by Otis Redding or Marvin
Gaye. In all your travels with the band is there anything
that you’ve done or experienced that has stood out as a
singular event? Something that’s worth remembering
above other things?
There have been so many adventures, hehe, but I think
there’s one thing that touched me more than anything
else. Back in 1986 we received a request from the Make
A Wish Foundation to visit a 14-year-old boy in a
hospital in Cleveland that was dying of Cystic Fibrosis.
I’ll never forget him; his name was Kenny Skyluk. Well,
he happened to be a huge fan of ours and wanted to
meet us really badly. It was so hard being there, the poor
kid was literally on his death bed. He seemed so happy
to see us and we had a great time talking to him. Well,
Steve had this idea to go back to the studio and tape our
new song “Only the Young” that didn’t make it onto the
Frontiers album. It did finally make it onto the Vision
Quest soundtrack and then onto our Greatest Hits
album. It was a perfect song for him in his situation,
it was HIS song. We didn’t write it with him in mind
but he definitely related to it in a large way. Anyway, we
had this song that no one outside the studio had ever
heard and we put in on a Walkman for him to hear. I
remember this like it was yesterday. He listened to the
song in its entirety, and then laid back and went to sleep.
He slipped into a coma later in the evening and passed
away the next morning. It touched us so deeply that we
were able to grant a child’s dying wish, that we reference
him often when we play that song in concert. That is
Kenny’s song now. It may not have been penned for
him, but he owns it.
What are your goals with the band right now? It seems
as if you’ve accomplished just about everything a rock
band can.
We want to get at least one more song on the radio. That’s
a benchmark for us. Times were different, simpler, back
in our heyday and being on the radio was a huge thing.
Sure, MTV was around for a lot of it, but it was never
really what drove our success. We were all raised on the
radio, which was such a great format, and nowadays there
are so many other outlets, or should I say, avenues to
get to your music, that listening to the radio has become
marginalized. We want to find the chemistry again that
made “Don’t Stop Believin’” work. We represent an era, Wow. I have nothing to say to that. That’s amazing. Well,
and that era is being looked back on with more nostalgia in closing, let me say that we are honored to be talking
and fondness these days.
to you and have to ask you one question, this is a bit
of a staple question at Chew. What do you think about
Well, what were you raised on? What types of music do Journey, and what’s your favorite Journey song?
you think of when you’re composing?
Haha, you’re serious? Okay, I think Journey is a very
I love great radio tunes. American music is my strongest blessed and fortunate band. I think they would have
influence; Hendrix, The Temptations, BB King, Eric not accomplished much if it wasn’t for the expert
Clapton...just an American gumbo of great records. I management they were able to attract. As for my favorite
like effortless songs - ones that sound as if they’re being song, it has to be “Faithfully”. This is the one song that
played on a breeze, very natural, soulful. That’s what when we perform it live, our fans sing it back to us as if
we’ve always tried to do with Journey - create soulful it were a love song directed at us. We play it to please the
music for a soulless time. We didn’t want the work to fans and they turn around and make it their serenade
show, we could have been more flashy, technical or over to the band. I can’t tell you how good it feels to receive
the top but we wanted to be real. We have our roots based that kind of love from thousands of people at a time.
in the soul of our music and I know it shows on a lot of It’s beautiful.

CHRISTAIN DETRES | JIM NEWBERRY
Tortoise is a collective of super-genius musical superheroes. Veritable indie-rock/jazz/sound titans wielding
Mjolnir-like instruments. Set apart by their non-rock sounds in a garage, lo-fi universe, they have constructed jazz
and electronica heavy albums that derive more of their spirit from Kraut-rock and the legendary Soft Machine, than
any of the more pedestrian sounds of their indie scene peers. I spoke with Jeff Parker (guitarist) and tried to glean
the essence of what Tortoise is all about.
So, what’s up?
Hmm, well, we just finished a US tour. The shows were
great, but our bus kept breaking down. It was awful. A
crappy, crappy bus.
I’ve noticed there seems to be a lot of line-up changes
and additions. How long have you been in the band?
I’ve been with Tortoise since 1996.
What’s it like playing with all of these incredibly
accomplished musicians?
That’s interesting because I’ve played with plenty of
people, not all of whom have the credentials most of
these guys do. I have to say the competence and creativity
level in the studio keeps everyone’s ego in check. We
all have a lot of respect for each other. The chemistry
is great.
What about Tortoise, musically, turns you on?
I think our unique approach to music and crafting
music. We’re not very song-driven. We like to discover
sounds and exploit and disintegrate those sounds to
fit the landscapes we want them to inhabit. We like to
confront the expectations of what a certain piece will
sound like and then turn it on it’s head and wrench
the music to our will. We take a very abstract direction.
We’re not trying to craft the perfect pop song. We like
to make sounds that are interesting to hear - obviously
melody and rhythm play a big role in something being
listenable but sometimes they’ll take a backseat to
creating soundscapes that are intended to simply be
heard and experienced. We treat our creations like visual
abstract art, mirroring an outlook on life, whether it’s
beautiful or ugly. It’s more about the aesthetic than it
is about making someone tap their toe to our songs, or
humming along.
What are some of the pitfalls or challenges that you guys
face in the studio with this kind of instrumental, freejazz, art-rock stuff?
We tend to get too dense sometimes. I mean, by the
time the record is done, we’ve gone through all this
and extracted the unnecessary bits, but while recording
we tend to have the habit of trying to do too much with
one piece. We all come up with so many ideas for each
song that what would normally be heard as depth comes
across to us as simply fluff. Yeah, I’d say keeping the
music lean and on track towards its purpose is the main
obstacle. I think we overcome it though before we release
anything.
What’s new with the band? I know you change up the
stage set-up at times.
Well, we’ve been experimenting with a lot of percussion
heavy songs. We’ve got three drummers on stage in our
live shows now. It’s really cool - and this goes back
to what you asked before about what it’s like to play
with these people. Everyone here can play any of the
instruments we use with extraordinary skill. It’s not out
of the ordinary for all of us to take a turn at the drum kit
or guitar or keyboards or anything really. We all have a
very good sense of what it takes to create music in every
position. But the drums have been the centerpiece
lately, and it’s been fun to really fill a room with an
overwhelming rhythm section.
How do you get anything done? It seems that everyone
has like fifty other projects taking up their time.
Haha. Yeah, side projects take up a LOT of time, but
we work so well together that it seems like Tortoise is
our vacation from those things. This is where we feel
we really get our expressions out. It’s so free form and
there’s little in the way of trying to fit any expectations
based on previous work. We’re allowed to just go, you
know, just erupt creativity without being conscious of
precedents.
Anything you want to add before you go?
Yeah, please people go out and vote this election. There
is literally only one way to get Bush out of office. It takes
next to no time to do it and you’ll thank yourself for it.
I’ll thank you for it!

BRAID
CHRISTAIN DETRESS | MICHELLE DOSON
It’s good to be the Godfather. Not the Brando slurring and shuffling Godfather, but the Nirvana of Grunge, the
Boredoms of Noisecore, the Smiths of Britpop kind. Braid is the founding father of Emoland. They were making
black-haired, man-waifs cry when Connor Oberst was rocking out to the New Kids on the Block. When they broke
up in 1999 they had spawned legions of sensitive crooners and left-of-center rockers. They’ve reformed for one
final tour as a send-off; a last hurrah celebrating the genesis of a musical movement. With their new live DVD,
Killing a Camera, hitting the shelves they took a little time to explain their intentions with the final tour and make
fun of each other.
Should we be expecting new material from Braid on
this tour?
No. We’re just doing one last hurrah for everyone that
never got to see us play. We haven’t been onstage as this
band for 5 years. A lot of our fans from our new projects
have been requesting this tour for years.
Are you guys falling into the same rhythms? Anything
different from when the band was together?
Well, Todd, Bob and myself have been touring with
our other band Hey Mercedes so we’re all still used
to each other. Chris is a pain in the ass. (Chris: NO,
no, no...give me the mic!) I’m kidding. It’s better
now than it ever was. Five years have passed and we’ve
matured in many ways. When we were a band there was
a lot of pressures of being a band, getting on the right
tours, dealing with record labels...we don’t have to deal
with any of that now. We’re not worried about the next
record, we’re just having fun.
Do you have a lot of people pressuring you to do
another album?
It’s all good natured, really. There’s no pressure, really
just fans’ wishful thinking.
Then this is just a big party. Anything interesting on
the tour that stands out?
Man, every night has been a big party. All the opening
bands have been great and we’ve been hanging out with
58
CHEWONTHISMAG.COM
Minus the Bear and Murdered By Death every night.
It’s been great.
So, wait a minute, this is definitely the END of
Braid. No more reunion tours, this is it. Right?
No, this should be it. We’ve all got other bands and
projects to go back to that we’re excited about. It’s nice
to visit the past sometimes for nostalgia’s sake but we’re
busy with new stuff. We’ve got Hey Mercedes and Chris
has U.S. Firebird Band, who are both doing really well.
This tour is mainly for the fans of those bands who’ve
gotten into them first - discovered Braid - and util now
had to live with the idea they’d never see us play again.
What’s up with Hey Mercedes and U.S. Firebird
Band?
Well, Hey Mercedes will be touring Europe after this
tour is over and U.S. Firebird Band has a new album
coming out. Bob has a City On Film EP coming out
(ANOTHER side project) and Todd runs Grand Theft
Autumn as well. It’s ridiculous how busy we are outside
of Braid. I just found out I’m playing with Merle
Haggard on his winter tour too (Chris: You’re playing
the skin-flute on that tour right?) Hahaha! Yeah, I am.

Twenty Four Hours,
Seven Days A Week
JONATHAN MARTIN | BRIAN GUILLIAUX
Stacey is the star of wildteenlive247.com. Her apartment has cameras in every room running 24
hours a day. Becoming a member of Stacey’s website grants you access to thousands of naked photos
and videos of herself exploring her sexuality and living the life of the average 19-year-old.
Within the first week that I’ve been watching your web cams, I’ve seen you taking showers, cleaning
your house naked, and having a little bit of dildo fun. What has brought you to this level of
exhibitionism?
No singular moment, I dunno. I guess people have always been staring at me. Me and my friends used
to do bondage shows and I’d get saran wrapped to a pole or teased with feathers and stuff.
Are your friends hard to deal with knowing what you do? Do you have people coming up and
recognizing you?
No, no one recognizes me yet. None of my family and friends have a problem with it. Although one
of my friends is young and not really in touch with herself; she’s led a sheltered life. But I’m working
on that. I got her to go topless in Miami, it’s a good start.
You’re naked now. I see you.
I like being naked. I definitely hate sweating.
What does the future for your website look like?
We’re adding a lot more cameras, adding night-vision to all of them where you can zoom in and out.
I have a schedule where you’ll know when I’m doing my live photo shoots and body casting and body
painting. We’ll also be doing custom-made paintings where we press our bodies into the paint, and
whoever is watching can contact me and buy it.
Run us through a typical chat session.
Most people ask me to dance, or do jumping jacks in the kitchen. They had me playing with some
toys in the bathroom and get up on the counter so they can see me up close. This last chat session
went on a way long time. It was so much fun. After a while, everyone started to dwindle away and
there was just one person left. And I ended up talking with him all night. Everyone seems to be so
psyched with the website.
I noticed your members never seem to get vulgar in your chat sessions like they understand your
lifestyle and the reasons why you are doing this. You’re not a porn star and you’re not faking
anything.
Nobody has been like that so far. But I’m a big girl, I can handle it. Some people are just rude; you
can’t get away from that.
Got a boyfriend?
Not right now, but I wish I could be in a relationship. I just haven’t found a person I can deal with
on a normal basis yet.

She’s a cute, gap-toothed teenager from Utah with a
former Mormon bishop for a father. What more could
you ask for in a porn star? Some controversy couldn’t
hurt. If you ask Bella about her first feature, 2000’s
“Real Sex Magazine #31,” she’ll tell you that she stepped
on the set an anal virgin, and that she had no idea she
wouldn’t be one when she left. Her former agent’s side
of the story is that the new starlet was so impressed with
her partner’s member she suggested the scene. Bella
Donna told 20/20 a few years later that she was leaving
the business after a bad experience in “Gang Bang Girl
#29.” Other sources, noting that at this time she had
lived through 100 movies, contradict that that scene
was also her idea and that her temporary leave was due
to troubles with her then boyfriend and fellow star Vince
Voyeur. Arguments aside, this 22-year-old has earned
herself the title “anal queen” and with her large tattoos
and unwavering energy, Belladonna is thought of as one
of the wildest stars around. If she hates her work, she
hides it well. Check her out in her newest flick, “Bella
loves Jenna.”

The first time I saw Tera in a movie I
was certain that she was lost. She is
breathtaking, and I wondered
why she wasn’t on a runway.
Turns out she’d already been
there. Tera began her career
in modeling, appearing in
Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and
on the runway. The modeling,
(after obtaining a degree in
microbiology,) led her to Penthouse
and Hustler. She got into porn in
late 1999 and has been involved with
Digital Playground ever since. Her film
“Virtual Sex with Tera Patrick” won best
interactive DVD at the 2001 Adult Video
News Awards. I don’t know what made Tera
enter the adult entertainment world, but we’re
all certainly glad she did. Did I mention that
she’s also a registered nurse?

He slaps, he spits, he chokes, and I named
a goldfish after him. Rocco made his big
break into porn in the early 90’s, several
years after his entrance with the “Buttman”
series. He is now one of the most sought
after partners among starlets. Like Tera,
Rocco doesn’t look like a porn star. The
best description I’ve heard of him is, “a
big, Italian, uber-stud.” He is strong,
insatiable, and sexy (a rarity among
male performers). In 1994 Rocco began
experimenting with the other side of
the camera to become one of adult’s
top directors. He won an award for
his work with Jenna Jameson in “Jenna
Loves Rocco,” but my favorite Rocco
pick is “Rocco Ravishes Prague 4.”
