Trashy and Bootleg as Hell: An Interview w/ Sparkle Hooves!

I have no idea how it took me so long to notice the world's most obscene, over-the-top, trashy homosexual redneck cartoon pony - Sparkle Hooves. Crudely animated, the hilarious Sparkle Hooves video series tackles subjects ranging everywhere from Top 10 Dumpsters To Get A BJ Behind in Atlanta to renting (but not owning) a house haunted by a dead drag queen who was murdered for being bad at lip syncing. Every Thursday at midnight, Sparkle Hooves hears Whitney Houston's "I'm Every Woman" playing from the great beyond and is forced to hire a psychic to chase the evil spirit out. Perhaps the funniest of all is Sparkle Hooves at last years Dragon Con getting his nerd on. It is a must watch.

Very little is known about the origins of Sparkle Hooves. But, here are a few things we were able to get out of his publicist:

Sparkle Hooves was born in Atlanta, GA.
Age: "A lady never talks about her age".
He loves buffalo wings and getting turnt up.
BJ's are his favorite to give and receive.
He is vers and loves Grindr, but hates limp dicks.
His favorite bar is Marys in East Atlanta.
His mother is Debbie Hooves.

Thankfully, we were able to get a few minutes alone with Sparkle Hooves in a truck stop bathroom off I-85 by tapping our foot three times under the stall. Though disappointed we weren't there for sex, he consented to answering some of our burning questions!

Sparkle Hooves at Dragon Con!


Q: Sparkle Hooves, could you please define the term "Hunty?" It has me totally confused.
Sparkle: OH NO HUNTY!!!! Shit, it's like saying "Gurllll" "Bitch" and "Honey" but in a sexy way. See also Baeshe.
 
Q: You once famously said "the only thing better than a chicken wing is a big ol' ding a ling." Just how big are we talking?
Sparkle: Shitttttt Gurllllll, this little pony can take a lot. If it don't fit in the rear, put it in my mouth my dear. A nice dick can always fit into this world somewhere.

Q: Do you miss your days in the pasture with Sarah Jessica Parker?
Sparkle: Oh nooooo and too true, she is one beat up donkey that needs to be left in the fields to feed alone. Sorry Sarah you are a goddamn messssss.


Q: How do you feel about Justin' Bieber's crotch and chest being enhanced in the recent Calvin Klein underwear ad?
Sparkle: Shit Justin is bitch, but he's a hot bitch and I'm always interested in hot bitches. A pickle is a pickle, honey. I just want to see the real deal, take it out! Big or small it's worth a lick. How many licks does it take to get to the center of that dick? I hope a lot. Also can I buy the underwear that he wore in it? Then I'm interested.

Q:  As a horse, do you feel you have an unfair advantage when hanging out at Swinging Richards strip club?
Sparkle: Hehehe well you knowwwwwwww. The good thing about dicks is that come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. As long as they hard then who cares. As long as you don't come at me limp as a chimp, then we are okay! Cause I will hoof you in the nutz.

Q: So, a weird thing happened. I am being haunted by the ghost of Pete Burns from Dead or Alive's botched plastic surgery. Could you please give me the number to your psychic Miss Aquaphina?
Sparkle: Listen Peter Burns is a goddamn frightmare! You may not survive this, but my friend Miss Aquaphina can shut down any queeny ass ghosts.

Q: Could you tell us about your first sexual experience?
Sparkle: I was upstairs in a huge barn with hay everywhere. I was with my foster cousin, Charlie Horse, and he was older. We were playing hide-and-seek and he said let's go down on each other and before he was done with that sentence I was already down on him. Don't judge, Judy! He was a foster cousin! We weren't related! Shit if we were then I could have gotten it all the time. HEHEHE Also I could have sworn I heard Prince's "Raspberry Beret" playing in the background as I went down.

Q:  How has being an internet celebrity changed your life?
Sparkle: Shit gurlllll, Sometimes it gets me laid, but sometimes the ex's and hook ups coming out of the fuckin wood works. Tragic! It's like kicking a log and spiders coming pouring out! Hook ups are meant to be in the past bitch!


Q:  When are you going to do your 10 Favorite Glory Holes in the Metro Atlanta Area?
Sparkle: Oh My Fuckin GAWD! Shit there are some great ones in Atlanta! Hell the best one is at this little ponies crib. Come over and tap on the hole, then stick it in. I might take a selfie with it. #Sparkleshole

Q: Would you rather fight one horse sized duck or ten duck sized horses?
Sparkle: I'd rather fuck one horse sized dick, and blow ten dick sized horses.

My House Is Haunted Bitch!

Preview "The Last Boys" Photo Book by Barry Marré

Dutch photographer Barry Marré has his very first book The Last Boys coming out April 1st via publisher
Bruno Gmuender! Typically, Marré's work for fashion magazines, galleries, and blogs portray dreamy, sensual imagery of his subject matter. He has shot for big time publications such as Vogue, Details, Huffington Post, NL, just to name a few. His work has been exhibited all over the world.

In The Last Boys, Marré decided to strip away all of the artificial light and make up and shoot his subjects in natural light. The result is a more personal, intimate look into the lives of these young men. And it works. The result is sometimes touching, sometimes haunting, but always captivating.

Marré explains his work this way, "I portray people as who they are. In my dream. Comfort is my key. Often I’m able to show an inner part that hasn’t been exposed before.”

If you would like to discover more about Barry Marré, we suggest his website. You can pre-order The Last Boys in the US via Amazon or in Europe via Bruno Gmuender.

Scott G Brooks "Inappropriate Nature" Solo Art Show Opens in NYC Feb. 21st!

Wonderful painter Scott G. Brooks has a new art show opening Feb. 21st at NYC's Last Rites Gallery!  “Inappropriate Nature” is Brooks’s most ambitious series yet and uses dark humor to deal with the controversial subject matters of war and sex.

The press materials describe Brooks' work far better than we ever could:
Brooks creates a world where humans, animals, and technology are in equal standing to one another. An investigation of the morals and rules humans impose on themselves and the hypocrisy surrounding these societal credos are addressed through his ubiquitous dark sense of humor and poignantly realistic topics of controversy. Human beings often separate themselves from other living creatures due to their more cognitively advanced brains and laws of civilization. Despite this, they still engage in their most natural and base instincts in common with the animal kingdom as a means of pleasure and survival, and they lace such acts with prejudice, hypocrisy, and social isolation.
Originally from Flint, Scott attended Univ. of Michigan's main campus in Ann Arbor. He and his partner currently live in Washington, D.C. In addition to exhibiting in galleries, he has illustrated several children's books and many covers for DC’s Metro Weekly. Brooks’s early influences include Mad Magazine, Disney, and Saturday morning cartoons. His work has been exhibited in LA, DC, NY, as well as internationally in Italy, Australia, and the UK.

Why the name "Inappropriate Nature?" Brooks explains, "As a gay man, I have been labeled by many as "Inappropriate" my entire life. By default my work has also been suspect. I learned long ago that I couldn't control this, and instead embraced the fact that I, and my work, didn't always fit in. Because of this I have never felt the need to create work that was mainstream or aligned with any preconceived notions of what art is. While I strive for beauty in the execution of the work, the subjects and themes reflect ideas and "nature" that may not be aesthetically pleasing to some."

If you don't live in New York and cannot attend the show in person, we suggest checking out Scott's Website. Also, Last Rites Gallery will have images from the show on their website.

The opening reception for "Inappropriate Nature" is Saturday, February 21at from 7-11pm. Scott Brooks will be in attendance. Last Rites Gallery is located at 325 West 38th St, #1, NY, NY 10018.

Brick Back Mountain - Animated Short by Ivan Di Simoni

While wasting time on the internet the other day instead of doing my work, I happened upon this really charming animated film on Vimeo titled Brick Back Mountain. It's super short, just a minute and ten seconds long, so rather than giving you too much plot detail, I just suggest you watch it. However, I was intrigued and set out to learn more about animator Ivan Di Simoni.

Turns out Ivan is quite a busy illustrator/graphic designer who makes his home in São Paulo, Brazil. Self taught, he worked his way up from designing advertising to being Art Director for audio-visual firm Coletiva Ideia. Also, he is a painter and street artist who in his own words is "always looking for the next empty space to be filled with colors."  Ivan made Brick Back Mountain with a creative team including Bruno De Castro, Bruno Cysne, and Mariska Michalick.

I spoke to Ivan via email about Brick Back Mountain and asked him what inspired him to make the film. Here's what he had to say:
"About he video i tell u that i was at the window one day and i saw two guys working and one of them was throwing a brick up to another guy upstairs. and then I imagined this short story about a bricklayer guy who is in love with a guy that works with him but they never had the courage to express his feelings for him. So he had this idea to use his everyday toll, material to do this. I just wanted to show everybody that gay people are not always "the barbie or "the bear" or "the drag queen". We are normal people and this is all normal. 
 That's it, sorry about my English."
You can learn more about Ivan Di Simoni's art via his website Ivan Di Simoni Art. Ivan also has an upcoming one week, pop-up art show in New York with an opening night at Grand Street Gallery on March 18th and the show running at Lower East Side Gallery from March 19th - 23rd! 



Here's a random sampling of some of Ivan Di Simoni's art!
