WAY BAD!

Most people already know Ben Jensen as some guy they've never even heard of. But did you know he's also a successful artist? Well, he's not. Here's a bunch of his drawings! His influences are punk rock, skateboarding, juvenile delinquency, tattoos, graffiti, gangsta rap, pizza, burgers, and beer.

---

Ben Jensen's the guy that started STANDARD ISSUE PUNK ROCK ZINE (Facebook/
Tumblr). He likes punk, skateboarding, and hating on anything that's not at least one of those things. He lives in Ottawa, Canada. He's available to do album covers, band logos, tattoo designs, skateboard graphics, t-shirt designs, and bar mitzvahs. Hit him up. Put him to work.

I gotta punk zine called Standard Issue, so if you like punk, go check out the Tumblr for it.  Hell, if you wanna get nuts, go ahead and FOLLOW the Tumblr for it.

Right now, I’m throwing a bunch of unpublished reviews up on there.  So far, we’ve got a BASTARDATOR review, a GERM ATTAK review, a PREGNANCY SCARES review, a SHIRKS review, a COKE BUST review, an INDIAN WARS review, a review of hanging out at Ken & Todd’s apartment, and a review of eucalyptus mint soap from Bath & Body works.

Oh yeah, in case you’re confused, Standard Issue’s rating system is: everything’s either SHITTY, KINDA SHITTY, or NOT SHITTY.

Yeah, yeah, this is an old one, but it’s got some new(ish) news attached to it:  you’re gonna be able to order prints of this bad boy soon.  That, and the alternate book cover piece (it looks like this but without the text so you can put it up on your wall without having to worry about reading every time you see it).  You can thank Permanent Sleep for being rad enough to make these.

Finally, here’s the layer with just the characters and logos to the alternate Way Bad book cover I was talking about here.  There’s gonna be a rad launch party soon.  Pay attention to this Tumblr and to Permanent Sleep’s (they’re the ones putting it out) for details on that.

Here’s that last one again, but I colored it in.  I gotta figure out how to get a decent scan; the colors don’t look as good here as they do in real life, and you can’t even SEE the grey shading on the skull.

It’s becoming painfully clear that I want you kids to go out and get Way Bad tattoos.  So just go do it before this gets any more awkward for all of us, alright?

Fuck hangovers.  On a lighter note, my brother told me an awesome way to reheat pizza: throw that day old bitch in a frying pan with a lid on it, and cook it up on the stove top for a few quick minutes.  Stays crispy, AND cooks the top, and doesn’t turn it into a grease sponge like the microwave does.

I keep forgetting to hype my shit, so here comes a steaming pile of hype:

HYPE 1: Keep ordering the KILL FLIP zine me and Luke Pelletier did.  It’s 16 pages of scumbag drawings, most of which you won’t find anywhere else.  Not even the internet, not even Costco.  Get more info on it here.  It’s only $3, shipping included.  Go to Way Bad to order.

HYPE 2: Go to this skateboard-oriented-artists art show/zine launch that the aforementioned Luke Pelletier’s put together.  Some of my turds have been polished and put in frames for this, but there’s also legit artists like Michael Sieben, Wes Humpston, Jimbo Phillips and Dennis McNett up in there — that’s CRAZY!  Legends status!

HYPE 3: I know there’s been a lot of big talk about me finally making prints lately, but that’s coming true soon, I promise.  Don’t blow all your money on Lazer Tag and sexting bills just yet.  Save some of that for art that will drop in value til your neighbour’s house actually depreciates.

HYPE 4: More cool shit coming down the pipe that I’m not ready to talk about.

HYPE 5: Pay me to do art for your album cover, or magazine or t-shirt company.  (Alright, that’s not hype, that’s scrounging.)

Alright, that’s it.  You made it through the hype.  Back to pictures of rats skateboarding and skeletons drinking.
