Fat Little Bastard - Oskorei Jazz Cafe 4

uscds.bandcamp.com

Written and recorded mostly during the 6 month long 2020 Melbourne Covid Lockdown, this is a tremendous sequel to Fat Little Bastard's 2004 experimental double album "Oskorei Jazz Cafe 1 & 2". That effort began with a question: "If the founders of Norwegian Black Metal were to hang out in a cafe - what music would they be listening to?" This follow-up may or may not be the answer, but it's definitely a valiant effort. Containing a fusion of multiple genres stapled onto bits of jazz - we get mindbendy tunes about your face and my face too - a meeting of friends to sing about chicken necks - sonic destruction at a ski lodge - smooth jazz guitars humming along to leaf-blowers - and have I mentioned the Enya cover? There's an Enya cover. (But don't forget there's also a part 3.) All these superdooper songs are (C) Xtian/KVEldritch, 2021 ("Caribbean Blue" by Nick Ryan / Eith Ni-bhraonain / Roma Shane Ryan). Thanks to everyone appearing on "Chicken Necks" (full list at above URL).

All religions are sprung from a misunderstanding (Edited)

Wanna get enlightened? Okay, follow me down the rabbit-hole...

At the heart of every religion we have sacrifice, that is offerings. Ppl offer food on altars: blood, animals, fruit, humans. God or the gods or the spirits "eat" these offerings. With christians, they drink the blood of their god and eat his body. It's a reversal (which brings me to say that the New Testament is really not about god forgiving us but vice versa, it's us rehabilitating Jehovah - but that's for another day), but i) in order to achieve it - Jesus had to be sacrificed, ie: fed to God; and ii) those who eat of him - will have life after death.

And that's the key here: life after death and dietary habits thereof.

But before we get to the point: vampires are dead and drink blood. Zombies are dead and eat people. Hungry ghosts drink blood/ eat people. Seems anything that comes back from the dead or is undead - wants to feed (on the living). Godzilla - neither god nor undead - just wants to break shit - go Godzilla!

Dead kings'/ queens' tombs are full of food for the afterlife. During the various Day of the Dead celebrations around the planet - ppl leave food and drink for the dearly departed.

You see where I'm going yet?

So primitive man thinks: "to live, I need food. When I'm in the afterlife (spirit-world), to live there - I will need food". God/ gods also live in the spirit-world - so therefore they must eat too - coz how can they live without food?

Thus the idea of sacrificial altars is born. Thus rituals begin. Thus rituals become ceremonies, festivals, masses.

All to feed imaginary spirit-world hungry-ghost space-vampires.

Because some guy out there once had a silly misunderstanding about eating.

(Because some guy thought seeing someone dead in a dream meant they were still alive - but in the spirit-world. Silly duffer.)

Edit: The more I think about it, the more it feels like some primitive cave-dweller had a dream of a recently deceased person they loved. Then they questioned the vividness of the dream, and how this person could still be communicating with them. "Coz they live in the afterlife." And what lives - needs food.

ignore this, i'm whineing or venting or whatever

 fuck me sideways there's not a single day that adobe doesn't fuck up on me.

i mean hats off to them, photoshop is 31 yrs old this year, and they've managed to create a perfectly human piece of software - it works super-dooper but is riddled with bugs. like a human designer - does a top job but is an alco or a coke-fiend.

every fucking day there's some bug in photoshop or premiere.

how on god's green earth do you make software 30 fucking plus years into the game that is riddled with some basic bullshit work-experience kid bugs?

like honestly, the frustration is real, lift your fucking game already, i'm paying for this fucking shit and that's what i get - fucking shit.

fuck you.

lovecrowcomic weekly update

Hello, welcome back.

Okay, so things have changed around here a bit. I have decided that I am spreading this thing too far and wide, so it's all relocated to the one place : my website . There you can read it for free, but censored. 

There won't be any more weekly updates here - I might stick the odd page/ image here to show it off. The comic will be on my website, updated EVERY FRIDAY (unless otherwise noted). You have choices:

If you are a PATREON supporter, turn to page 47 to keep reading.

If you are not a PATREON supporter, but want to be - turn to page 47.

If you are not a PATREON supporter, but want to keep reading the free CENSORED version, turn to page 22.

If you are not a PATREON supporter and just want to throw me a small tip (eg: the price of a coffee), turn to page 22, then page 9.

Giddit?

What you get on PATREON: UNCENSORED pages, sketches, backstories, and coming soon: hi-res images.

AND IT'S CHEAP!!!!

WAHOO!

I promised y'all a video update - every 5th week I will make a little video to talk about this thing, I hope it ain't too boring:

Be seduced by that voice!!!

What I forgot in the video:

currently, when you google #lovecrowcomic - you mostly get results for J.O.Barr's "The Crow" - which is a superdooper comic, it's on my shelf, not gonna diss it. But we need to knock that hashtag off the perch, or at least share the perch - so help me popularize #lovecrowcomic ! You have my permission to re-post some of my pikkies (SOME, not ALL) with the hashtag attached - see how we go. THANKS!

Okay, thanks for watching, and see you in two weeks!

lovecrowcomic weekly update 4 - stuff is happening!

Hello friends!

First, what you're here for, the new pages:

page48

page 49

page 50

page 51

[He gettin' a big demon pee-pee in his guts.]

pages 52 - 53

[The demon rips his guts out and eats them. Pokes his eyes out. Eats his heart.]

Dialogue in case this is too low-res:

"A feast of human blood. A feast of human blood. Untainted blood. The blood of the innocent. The blood of the young. The blood of children. Moloch! Jehovah! Lucifer! God! I am the demiurge. I will feed you blood. I will feed you fear. I will feed you pain. Feed me wild emotions. Feed me pain. Feed me blood. Lord God of the Universe, I am your servant!"

-

"I will feed you! I will feed you pain and torture and blood of the young and the pure! All fat is the Lord’s!* All flesh is the Lord’s! All bones for the Lord! I am your servant!"

-

"29 needles! 29 lives! To Heaven! To Heaven! Aaaah! I am your servant!"
-
"Must die. Must die and be reborn. Act on my words. Prepare to be entombed. Prepare to die. Kill me Lord! I am your servant!"

pages 54 - 55

To be continued...

NEXT: okay, that's just weird - except it REALLY happened!

- - -

current page-tally

Notes: yes, censored here, but not on PATREON (go THERE).

"All fat is the Lord's" - is an actual Bible quote, Leviticus 3:16 (a chapter alternating between being tediously boring and psychopathicly evil). This was also a song by a band I used to be in, "the low priests" (https://soundcloud.com/the-low-priests/all-fat-is-the-lords - I'm the guy yelling lots).

New stuff: the comic now has a facebook page you can follow HERE . There is also a deviantart page for highlights - HERE, and on Artstation - HERE. Of course the best way is via PATREON, where it's all uncensored, plus you get sketches, and other behind-the-scenes stuff. You know, if you like pictures of guts and demon pee-pees - that's where you'll find them. There'll be boobs too eventually, don't worry.

The next update will be a video update, I will try and make every 5th one a video update, so you'll see my lovely visage. Gadzoox!

#lovecrowcomic weekly update 3 - CENSORED! Already??

 Hello friends!

In this update: new pages, old enemies.

The comic is now 47 pages long, and a month and a half old - AND HAS ALREADY BEEN CENSORED by another website! I uploaded page 7 to my online store (see below) - only to have it pulled by them for no clear reason:

EXHIBIT A: A bag of arse.

There is no pornography on display. No blood. No guts. No nazi messages. It's a bit grim, but did they bother to ask wtf the image was? No. Which brings me to:

I have always struggled with getting an audience for my work or keeping one. But the number one fan that has always been there is censorship. I've had so many things pulled from various websites protecting their wallets that it's not funny. And NEVER was there a depiction of hardcore porn, excessive violence/ gore or nazi crap. But that's the thing about Mr.Censorship: unpredictable belligerent sociopathy. EAT MY FUCKING ARSE, sir.

Okay, that's off my chest - and joke's on them: I managed to re-up the image and ticked their stupid "adults only" box - so all you adults out there now can grab a T if you wish (just don't wear it around other adults).

click HERE to go there

Okay, here're the new pages:

page40

page41

pages 42 - 43

pages 44 - 45

pages 46 - 47

I can't seem to get away from working on double-page spreads, but hey!, they look lovely.

Current page tally:

Any questions, etc - hit me up.

UP NEXT: gore!!!

#lovecrowcomic weekly update 2

Hello friends!

This week I bring you some monsters and some new pages that are good, but I want to try re-doing them. I think this first version is a bit stilted perhaps, but I kinda like that, it's eery and dream-like in it's lifelessness and keeps within the original confines of the project: make it look photocopied.

So here're pages 40 - 43:

Dafuq is going on?

This week I've been busy birthing monsters for this comic - yes, as per above, here there be monsters, Demons in fact. ( Need a reminder for where they come from? Visit the "official site" for the comic: gadzooxtian.com/grimcomic.html .)

There are two demons, for now we get to meet Demon 1 (yes, that lovely critter above), here it be:

"She's a very sexy girl/ the kind you don't take home to mother..."

MIND YOU: this is not the Demon's FINAL look.

Current page tally (not counting the above since I wanna re-try them):

More pages than I have teeth!

Okey-dokes, till next time!

Don't forget if you like what you see, support the project on PATREON - patreon.com/gadzooxtian - there are no tiers yet, everyone can get in on the cheap. If you're super-cheap, you can support the project on KO-FI - a donation the price of a cup of coffee - ko-fi.com/gadzooxtian .

AND A REMINDER: please use #lovecrowcomic when mentioning this project - Thanks!!!

Ftagn!

Lovecrow Comic - weekly update 1

 Hello!

First, the disclaimer: THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT FOR KIDS, DEFINITELY NSFW.

Welcome to the first weekly update on the Lovecraft & Crowley comic - I shall try and do these every Friday so I can get to Heaven. To avoid confusion: new images will be posted here - uncensored versions will be at PATREON.

Next: I am very happy with the progress of this thing - it will take a long time, but I get to work on it everyday (along w. some other projects). How long to go? Well, check this screenshot out:

As you can see, we're only up to page 3 in the script, but we're up to page 39 in the comic - some things in the script are just a one-line description that end up as multi-page illustrations (eg: "Crowley is conducting a magic ceremony" ended up being 8 pages). I'm guessing we'll have 300 pages in the end?

Also: scratch this hashtag into your forearm:

#lovecrowcomic

for that is what ye shall google to find out more - and what you should use when talking about it (plz&tq).

Now, here are some new pages, they ain't purty, but you are - thank you for taking a look!

To be continued...

UP NEXT: the weird man's weird visitor!

If you'd like to support the project, then head on over to PATREON (patreon.com/gadzooxtian) where I've posted some sketches so you can see how pages turn out compared to the original idea(s). This is not available to non-subscribers, but I'm a softie, so here, have a teaser:

If you can't afford PATREON, feel free to throw me a tip via ko-fi.com - for donations as little as the price of a cuppa coffee.

Okay, till next time!

Lovecraft & Crowley Comic - first 30 pages

Here are the first 30 pages of my new collage comic project.

NOT FOR KIDS - NOT SAFE FOR WORK.

To see uncensored images, find me on PATREON: patreon.com/gadzooxtian .
