Artist Skinner (Mastodon, Adult Swim, Super Deluxe, High on Fire, Tony Hawk Pro Skater) is teaching audiences how to create gore-soaked art in new series ART SHOW! WITH CAPTAIN SKINNER.
The 10-episode ETCH-produced series premieres tomorrow, Friday, February 13, on YouTube and Substack with new episodes weekly from Friday, March 6.
Described as “Bob Ross on LSD meets The Evil Dead… in Space,” ART SHOW! aims to flip the script by oozing hyper-phantasmagorical slapstick, body-horror, and off-the-wall comedy.
The series follows “the misadventures of a doomed PBS-style television series. As Skinner and his tiny crew (including the stop motion animated Space Cowboy) attempt to produce a television series in outer space, their efforts are constantly thwarted by – well – everything from meteor showers to intrusive thoughts to the stark horror of an uncaring cosmos.”
Watch the trailer below to get a feel for the bombastic, futuristic, gore and color-saturated love letter to shows like The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross and Commander Mark and the Secret City.
Skinner stars in the series he co-created and co-wrote with director Allen Cordell. Skinner is known for his vibrant, psychedelic nightmare style and has created art for Grammy-winning albums and bands like High on Fire and Mastodon, award-winning music videos and films, commercial experiences for Adult Swim and Warner Brothers, and hosted shows for Super Deluxe and various music festivals.
While we wait to discover the cosmic madness premiering tomorrow, catch up on Bloody FM’s Skin Crawl podcast. Each episode contains a story based on the horror fantasy comics anthology Skin Crawl by Skinner.
