Donny Miller… what can we say about one of the most irreverant artists working today? In March 2012, we stopped by the Southern California artist's home to discuss his unique brand of conceptual, pop, performance, street, video, and political art. We just released two new Juxtapoz x Donny Miller tees in our webstore... go check those out now, and read this tale... 

It’s 1970 and a Seven-year old boy happens upon a weird Russian clown at a carnival. Weird Clown grants Boy the life of his dreams. Boy signs the deal in blood. Weird Clown erases the bargain from Boy’s mind. But Weird Clown makes good on it; Boy unwittingly lives the dream life, as agreed. Fast forward forty years, we find that the boy is an artist who has become renowned for creating elaborate installations and performances about a mysterious Russian clown. The subconscious mind is a powerful thing, isn’t it? For the boy has subliminally recalled the carnival meeting, the bargain, even the clown’s correct name: Dr. Pyotr Mastolf Ilyas. Or “Flotsam,” for short.

Early this morning, 200 cops in riot gear to dismantled Occupy Oakland at Frank Ogawa plaza near City Hall.  

One of our finest covers was done by David Ellis back in March 2007. Add the fact that Ellis was the centerpiece of our December 2009 Barnstormers issue, and we consider him to be one of the leading contemporary artists that we have ever covered. He will showing new works at New Image Art starting this Saturday, February 5. More after the jump . . .
