Optimistic: Why Not?

catalog cover Process

As you know, many people believe that December 2012 will usher in some form of The End. But Seventh Day Adventists and Jehovah’s Witnesses haven’t bought into that date, so why should we? Process Media’s 2012 catalogue has just appeared, and is easily downloaded HERE. This is evidence of our belief that many people will [...]

Big Eyes

Talk about coincidences. Here’s a few. After Feral House released Nightmare of Ecstasy: The Life and Art of Edward D. Wood, Jr., in 1992, many readers got quite excited. Practically nothing was actually known about Wood’s life; author Rudolph Grey spent more than a decade tracking down the amazing stories, and I helped Rudolph stitch them [...]

For the past couple weeks we have been working with the great designer Sean Tejaratchi on the 2012 catalogues for Feral House and Process Media. A huge question was how to fit all the titles and covers into a 16-page Feral House catalogue and 8-page Process Media catalogue.  The answer for the FH catalogue was [...]

The Sounds

The booming trumpet of the Apocalypse? Some weird governmental machination like HAARP? Hoaxers? WTF? Friends were calling my attention to various YouTube posts from various countries that present strange and unsettling boomy and distant sounds. Pranksters love posting things like this to laugh at the gullibility of the public. I now gladly add to this [...]

On the day of the death of Christopher Hitchens, who lately became a United States citizen, was the passage of a new law in which any accused American could be jailed for the rest of his or her life without so much as a trial. In his alcohol-laden final decades, the very clever Hitchens, who [...]

While scouring an interesting second-hand store in Seattle in the ’90s, we discovered an elaborate uniform worn about a century ago by a Knight Templar. The suit included an elaborate array of belts and sashes, a thousand small buttons, and a feathery hat, which I later discovered was called a “Chapeaux.” The Chapeaux’s feathers were [...]

Hey boys, so you can bench press a few hundred pounds. So fucking what. Underestimate at your peril the bitch power of women as they create and destroy while your head hangs among many others in their necklace. This season, Feral House and Process Media offer two different titles from modern Kali-Yugas. One is called [...]

Fairfax Ave., an evening [...]
