FRESH HELL IN FITS by Steven Cerio

Visionary artist, filmmaker, and author Steven Cerio:. Created  his own loving and sarcastic expressions of joy for three  decades. His unique style helped set  the stage  for the neo-psychedelic revival in New York City.  Devotees of The Residents will be familiar with his cover art for their, ‘Loss of the Lizard Lady’ lp, official tour posters and tour shirts for the group including  the Icky Flix and ‘Demons Dance Alone’ and ‘Buny-boy’ tours, vinyl figures of “Classic eye” and “Mister Skull’ for Toy Tokyo (NYC), target designs in “Dixie’s Kill a Commie Shooting Gallery” from their cd-rom “Bad Day on the Midway” (also used as their Stars and Stripes video featured in Icky Flix DVD), notable art and mask designs for their film       “Disfigured Night,” animations in the “Birds in the Trees” video for “The Commercial DVD” which were inducted into the permanent collection of The Museum of Modern Art in New York. 
   Started in 80’s zines and soon after called  upon by galleries and diverse clients including Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, Warner Brothers, A&M Records, Entertainment Weekly and Penguin books.
Four years in the making , FRESH HELL in Fits- conterfeit tales and miraculous events_a falsified history of The Residents” is  40 pages of finely detailed visions of a singular world  done in Cerio’s unmistakable style. This narrative comic records Cerio’s falsified retelling of the impossible evolution of performance art magnates The Residents. A bold and wildly inaccurate travel journal along an asynchronous timeline losing you perilously in a superstitious fog. All predicated on nary a single kernel of  truth, this wandering evolutionary tale of a blinkless spirit trying to find the  right body. A story influenced by the group’s early releases that inspired the artist as a teen in the suburbs of New York with their spirit of free adaption and fruitful exploration. “The spirit AND the music were both so looming and beautiful…like open doors” said the artist in an interview with Seconds magazine.

– Robert Williams
