Everybody, say hi to @dugmcugly ! He's the madman behind all the stellar graphics and show posters and creatures and bits and bobs you see incorporated into all the stuff we share on our social media channels, and on our website. We've known Dug for actual decades now, and are honored to have had him working with us on #MidWestFriendsFeat from the start!
Take it away, Dug...
Pronouns: He/him
Where you at: From the far northern kingdom of Hamilton, in the county of Butler.
What do you do: Artist, tattooist, aged punk rocker , and nasally yeller.
Parts of MWFF involved in: Doodles, Graphic Design, Angry Positive Reinforcement.
What do you bring to the MWFF table: I have been in art and graphic design for 20 plus years. I bring weirdness, with a scoop of strange, and a side of “huh?”
Why did you want to be involved with MWFF? First and foremost, I would ride into a losing battle for Jared Bowers. But also, MWFF is important. Small DIY shows and festivals are important. Scenes are important. Circles are important. Safe spaces are important. And grumpy old dudes who have been doing it for longer than you’ve been alive are important! And we know it!
We have a few more folks to introduce you, plus all kinds of good stuff on the way (and if YouTube would cooperate, more Lunken Lounge Sessions...) so keep an eye out, y'all. As always, thank you so much for being here!
I make art. You like art. Follow me for art. I have said art in every sentence so far. How art thou feeling about this? Art. #starngeart #dugmxugly #lowbrowart #popart #painting
