Art Whore

Art Talk – Alexis Ziritt + ‘Fistful Apparel’

24 June 2013

Originally from Venezuela, Alexis Ziritt is an artist whose style – intricate detail, appearance of movement, and a love of violence brings a modern touch, to the silver-age-comic-book era aesthetic of bold lines, vibrant colour, outer space motifs, monsters, and heroes.

(Picture Below of Alexis Ziritt)

Alexis’ talent has seen him work with bands such as ‘Mastodon’; brands such as the ‘WWE’, and magazines such as ‘Complex’ amongst others. Valuing creative control and independence, Alexis also co-founded ‘Fistful Apparel’ and ‘Calavera Comics’. Interestingly, Alexis has recently begun collaborating with Art Whore’s own Mike Kirchoff AKA ‘TheMakUltra‘ with the two of them working on an upcoming comic, and a collaborative resin sculpture already released.

Alexis Ziritt Art Questions

Describe the method of making an Alexis Ziritt piece? (dot point all o.k.)

(a) your art:

 Brainstorm, thumbnails, and the real shit!

(b) your comics such as ‘2491 A.D’:

 I try to keep everything simply and have fun. Every time I over think sometimes I just get bore pretty quick.

You do commissions – often for bands/musicians (such as Mastodon), brands (such as the ‘WWE’) and the TV and film industry – and you also work on making your own personal art; is it hard mixing the commission work with the self-directed stuff?

(Picture below of some ‘Vans’ customised by Alexis)

 It depends, if a client ask for beautiful flowers and kids smiling and no skulls…It can get pretty fucking hard.

Best commission(s) you have worked on? And the tale behind it…

 Patagonia’s creative director follows my Tumbrl and bought an old art for really good money, so basically I was paid for sent an email. Coming on 2014!!
 Mastodon – Brann follows me on Instagram and ask me if have some free time to do something for their summer tour, I replied with a FUCK YEAH!!! Coming from a small town in Venezuela is like a dream come true.

You are a co-owner of ‘Fistful Apparel’ along with Ralph Niese, a company producing comics, clothing, accessories and prints. What is it like running a small business in the current economic climate?

(Picture below of the ‘Fistful Apparel’ logo by Alexis)

 Fucking cool but we don’t make any money.

What is the process like in producing the t-shirts released by ‘Fistful’? Printing, art, sourcing the blank t’s…

 We just go with flow.

Why the name ‘Fistful Apparel’?

 Mark Malazarte came with that name probably because my love for the movie a fistful of dollars.

You have an upcoming comic coming out with ‘The Mark Ultra’/Mike Kirchoff. Please describe the upcoming comic, and your role in its creation.

(Picture below of a teaser of Alezis’ art for his upcoming comic with ‘TheMarkUltra‘)

 Sci fi comic with a fumetti style crossover based on Mike own toy line. I just draw pretty stuff and try to make everyone happy.

Much of your art references kaiju and toys, have you ever thought of releasing a toy or sculptural piece soon?

 Yes, thats why I am working with Mike. Hopefully we will have a Tuerto action figure before the end of the year.

(Picture below of Senor Cybernetico, a sculpture by Alexis Ziritt x ‘TheMarkUltra‘)

Your work often references the occult and esoteric religious practices. What role does religion/the occult play in your life? And what role do you think it plays in today’s increasingly atheist society?

None and I hate religion. We are all doom!

The Future

Any collaborations on the horizon?

Hopefully!!!

Any major projects you want to hype man?

New Mekano Turbo by the end of the year, I also wanna have 2 more comics project done: Miami Night Heat and Peligro Supremo.

    Incorporate various mentor texts to help students grasp the elements of argumentative essay writing. There are tons you can pull offline written by students and experts alike. (The New York Times Learning Network has some great mentor text resources!) The more interesting your students find the subject matter, the better. Controversial topics always stir up an engaging conversation as well. AP Lang’s rhetorical analysis, on the other hand, requires you to delve deeper into the text. When asked to write this kind of essay, you’re supposed to dissect the source material to take a closer look at its message. It’s practically about explaining the obscured information within the text in these kinds of essays using AP Lang rhetorical devices. If you’re not given one, you can always find a good argumentative essay topic by looking for prompts. There are plenty of apps or websites that will provide topics and prompts to help you get started. Or just try a few brainstorming techniques. Find a topic you enjoy, choose a side and start putting together your thesis.

They have good prices, responsive customer support, and great quality of papers compared to other services. Highly recommend! According to Annie Dillard, the essay is just as powerful as a poem and a story, but cannot fake emotions like the other forms of writing. Total Eclipse is an essay that proves her stand – the imaginative power of an essay should not be underestimated. In this piece, the meditative aspects of a personal essay are interwoven with whimsical poetic expression and the decisive depth typical for short fiction. Dillard’s interpretation of the total eclipse she witnessed with her husband shows her ability to observe and portray an event with mesmerizing power. The best free cultural &

    Есть еще один рецепт маски для ресниц с касторовым маслом и соком алоэ: смешать сок алоэ и касторовое масло в пропорции 7:3 и тщательно перемешать. Вместо сока алоэ в данном случае можно использовать персиковое масло. Эту смесь можно держать на ресницах до одного часа. Масло макадамии часто фигурирует в составе магазинных продуктов для волос — это самый удобный способ применения. Готовые средства уже протестированы специалистами, безопасны и имеют доказанную эффективность. К тому же производитель обычно выбирает удобные для использования флаконы и дозаторы, сразу указывает нюансы применения и время воздействия. 0Горячая маска для волос При выборе масла отдавайте предпочтение маслам первого и холодного отжима, хранящимся в темном флаконе. В разы повысить эффективность масла можно добавлением к нему ампул витаминов А и Е – ключевых витаминов для роста волос и обновления кожи.

Даже при гормональном дисбалансе своё дело делает. Были «проплешины» в бровях, они исчезли, а ресницы стали длиннее, хотя брала ее только для бровей, но на ресницы тоже наносила. Аксессуары Для нанесения сыворотки в комплекте идет кисточка, как у жидкой подводки. Нужно просто провести ей вдоль линии роста верхних ресниц и закрыть глаза. Средство равномерно распределится. Действенность состава подтверждается отзывами женщин. Сыворотка восстанавливает даже сильно поврежденные ресницы. Минус – средство дорогое, а его нежелательно хранить дольше месяца после вскрытия флакона.

Marca la devolución teórica de dinero al jugador tras un número enorme de rondas (normalmente un millón) y suele representarse en forma de porcentaje. Por ejemplo, un RTP del 97% indica que, tras una cantidad grande de partidas, la máquina devolverá 95 euros por cada 100 euros gastados.

    There may never again be proper value on Jordan Spieth to win the Masters. The public favorite is always expected to be in contention at Augusta National, and he’s also a frequent contender at other early season events such as the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the Valspar Championship. Strong performances in either of those events would drop his odds to win the Masters. After beating McIlroy in the last 16 of the WGC-Match Play, Woods lost to Lucas Bjerregaard in the quarter-finals but with the hype which surrounded his Masters return last year turned down a notch, that is likely to work in the 14-time major winner’s favour. Brooks Koepka (5-1) – it’s always tough to know how a player with no experience of Augusta will take to the place, but this monster-hitter looks to have the perfect game.
