Tonight we continue our series called Rad Women Who Make Rad Art, a string of interviews with some of the most exciting female visual artists that have connections with music, today. This segment features the delightfully dark, Mackie Osborne.
Mackie Osborne is a living legend when it comes to designing art for music projects. She's done art for Jello Biafra, Tool, Melvins, Wayne Kramer, The Offspring, All, The Vandals, Melt-Banana, Mr. Bungle, Fantomas and more. Her art shows both adherence to convention as well as a reckless disregard for it. She makes pictures of rabbits doing stick-ups, round headed beasties, and cute little field animals slicing off their own hands. Oh yeah, she made the famous Social Distortion skeleton.
Lately, she's been making some rad pieces for the Melvins, created by using an 1800's letterpress. Due to the nature of the machine, each piece is unique and looks awesome. You can click read more to see features editor John Gentile's conversation with the inimitable Mackie.
