Your Flesh Magazine

Fanzines, in many ways, are the lifeblood of any music scene. Sure they usually feature bands pretty heavily but some, as they grow, begin to become something more than just a documentation of a point in time. Some become high-water marks for art. Sometimes that art is the written word, or photo journalism or outsider art. the covers of Your Flesh, since it’s inception in 1982, became a showcase for the most kick ass lowbrow artists of the 80’s and 90’s. Peter Davis, the brain behind Your Flesh, has a keen eye for remarkable artists on the rise or true blue legends. The list of artist to have been involved in Your Flesh is staggering; Mad Marc Rude, Pushed, Peter Bagge, The Hernandez Brothers, The Pizz, Kozik, Coop, Ralph Steadman, Frank Miller, Shepard Fairey to name a few. Truly the track record for artists associated with Your Flesh is noteworthy, so when Peter Davis asked if I wanted to take a crack at the classic 82 “Skull Buddy” (originally created by Ron Clark), I had it completed within a couple of hours. Who am I too not jump when I hear the call? Happy to be in such amazing company, and now you can show you have good taste by wearing this beauty at the next local show! -Chris Shary
