Christian Custodio

i never felt as compelled to help a fellow artist than when i saw Christian's work. yeah it reminds me of a Basquiat. a Cy Twombly scribble maybe. a bit of Francis Bacon weirdness. however this is the conclusion he has reached as an artist. i know that there's something in his work that is totally him. there's a narrative that must be deciphered before judgement can been passed on. more of that will be revealed when the interview is released.

he has like 2 zines out or some shit. everyone is making zines nowadays but man. this a good one. i will guiltily confess that after purchasing Negative Sleep, i've been too intimidated to get through the whole thing. that's because in order to get through the whole thing (its over 100 pages long), you really want to give each page the love and attention it deserves. each page is like a cute baby. imagine being in a room full of cute babies. it's hard to love them all at once.

so mozy that fat internet ass over to his big cartel site and support the motherfucker (plus, there are shirts that i helped him shoot pictures of!!). not many from the antelope valley are doing what he's doing..





thanks for viewing more soon
