Luke Pelletier Is Fucking Awesome

Our old pal from Chicago has some new art & music to show ya.

Since I last spoke to Luke for his feature - man has been BUSY. Not only is he diving into 2014 with a bunch of new screenprints and his first ever book DEAD DIRT, Lukes also gone and recorded an album. Yeah, like a music album.

You can grab the entire 'I Heard You Got That Job' record for free over on Bandcamp. Here's a DIY music video Thomas Richmond filmed for the track 'Static Drone' and it's super great, although now based in Chicago we're thankful Luke's held onto some party shirts and drenched us in the sunlight from his Florida and North Carolina origins.

Oh and PS ... these lyrics win everything ... "Finally finished The Office, Jim and Pam are doing fine. Don't have to worry about their lives, I can concentrate on mine." 

Alright, now let's take a look at Luke's brand new (and first ever) art book titled DEAD DIRT.

Luke's style bodies everything we like about art and we reckon he's a top bloke too. A staple within the drinkin' smokin' skatin' art community that we have always loved to cover since forever (think Sean Morris - issue 1, Austin England - issue 7, Brad Rohloff - issue 11). 

At 48 pages long and $20 you just gotta.
