Dear Vice, Not that I don’t KNOW you spend most of the day googling yourself on deviantart and the like, but has anyone shown you this guy’s stuff? [NSFBrains] Evidently he believes you guys are the antichrist because of that photo shoot you did where girls showed their boobs.

He also seems to think that tacking “Jesus rules” onto the end of a 12-panel sub-Mike Diana gay-rape fantasy is enough to make people think he’s not massively horning out while drawing/reading/rereading these. What’s you guys’ take? Unhinged supermolestor or secret-comedy-genius?
Best,
STEVE HELLNER

Vice sez: Yeah, not exactly sure yet, but based on the spelling tics, the preponderance of painful-looking anal sex, and the nuances of this little strip [there's a link there], our money’s on closeted Black Israelite from London. We tried showing a couple of the drawings to our shrink to get her opinion, but blood started pouring out of her temples.

Hitler as Napoleon, now that is a cute idea. what next Blair as Bush? Will Smith as Obama? If vice are gonna make new waves in this post x-factor age then they need to hire this guy as art direct and follow his lead.

hellner, shameless self promotion, but the fiction 1984’s pretty good. Dude has as many problems as Jay Z but a bitch is at least one.

i’m so confused i dont even know if that’s ironic.
January 12th, 2010
You guys should totally get him to do a real Vice cover.
January 12th, 2010
the best part is the letter is totally made up. a friend of mine sent them a charming email about my pretty little pictures and they concocted this arse wipe of a letter instead.
i hadnt realised vice lost touch with what was ironic. i did the covers for an art gallery some folks and we are doing in our local pub.
on the american site people are shitting all over themselves trying to say i dont get it, superb. my wife was in shot by kern, so i really doubt i believe everything i draw, fuck have people forgotten what cartoons were about?
i bet the guy who wrote this read the new york times and cries to himself about how dark the satire is in the political cartoons.

UziDoesit - are you vice’s biggest fan?
January 13th, 2010
[...] guuuuuys, Just found your article on the website, nice [...]
January 13th, 2010
uzidoesit why don’t you stop banging on about your wife getting her photo done by Kern, that doesn’t make her special, he’s been taking photos for 30 years, he is bound to pro bono work just to give back to the species he has taken so much from. was she the one with a fanny like mr. edd’s face?
January 13th, 2010
Well, now I might start going to church again.
January 13th, 2010
hey, nice tits
January 13th, 2010
I KNEW Hitler was into gay porn.
January 13th, 2010
WOW, I really want to bang that corpse slut! Mmmm her skull looks so sexy on that dead body.

Someone’s got serious issues.
I find it amusing that he[?] tries to play it off:
“Some of the comics I have done recently, mostly gutter humour, dark stuff, Christian terrorism and general tomfoolery.”
And c’mon- how funny is THIS statement- “Accept Jesus Christ or you might get penis hands.”
January 13th, 2010
Can’t draw for shit.
January 13th, 2010
the cover of that issue is just ignorant in the best way possible!
January 13th, 2010
You goons, this artist’s wife was in Shot by Kern. He is a zionist Christian, but with a sense of humour and a love of horror.
January 13th, 2010
Also Vice, I think it’s funny that you’d find this from the e-mail I sent you about it then completely fabricate a letter someone supposedly sent you, so you can mock the guy’s drawings then appear all over it in the reply. Nice tactic (it’s a bit like saying to a girl “yeah, everyone says I have a really fantastic singing voice but I think it’s terrible”), but does somebody not like being made fun of? Aww, happens to the best of us.
January 13th, 2010
well fuck me sideways, I didn’t realise vice didn’t have a sense of humour. thats fucking hilarious. i draw some pictures, which are tongue in cheek and what you guys take it seriously?!!? when do you ever take anything seriously? I thought this was the last possible thing you guys would take seriously. didn’t realise evangelical christians who dont cry every night were so much of a threat.
love ya babes.
January 13th, 2010
they aren’t taking it seriously.
January 13th, 2010
As a concept, that fiction issue cover is actually pretty awesome.
January 13th, 2010
just found his myspace, this guy rules
January 13th, 2010
mmmm hand drawn boobs.
January 13th, 2010
You mean these aren’t just covers of Vice?
January 13th, 2010
this is all so funny. if chris nieratko thought he was cool, i bet all of sudden this guy would be the fucking dogs bollocks to vice and it’s posse.
January 13th, 2010
Pay this fool off and actually use his cover designs.
January 13th, 2010
super faggy
January 13th, 2010
So is the part where they posted your reply too also faked? Oh sorry, this isn’t you, it’s an anonymous commenter posting his thoughts at random.
January 13th, 2010
Think he’s seen this
yet?

I don’t know what’s ironic anymore
January 13th, 2010

January 14th, 2010
