Chapter 19: Disruptive Pattern Material

Release Date: Winter 2004

Here at Frank151, we make it a point to stand out. But after Hardy Blechman of maharishi and Sam Handy of DPM flew over from the UK to pitch this chapter, blending in started to sound like a good idea.

Frank Book Chapter 19: Disruptive Pattern Material explores the art and history of hiding out, with a focus on camouflage culture. Articles include an interview with Charlie “Spiderman” Seiderman, the kirigami / origami meets pornography artwork of Atom Gallant, a Natural Camouflage fashion shoot, and a 15-page art collage created by Frank Book Chapter 34 Guest Curator Zoltar The Magnificent. Luckily for you, this chapter is presented below in its entirety, because with the amount attention it got upon release, hard copies are no where to be seen.

Camouflage patterns can be seen everywhere these days – on the uniforms of soldiers, in the collections of high fashion houses, and more generally on the everyday clothing of civilians throughout the world, however, it is often forgotten that these designs are inspired by shapes and colours that have evolved in the natural world for millennia.

Urine Therapy

Wee, piss, pee, golden water, transparent liquid shit, the elixir of life, or whatever you want to call it, urine is a vital component of the human being. Along with breathing and eating, urinating is what connects you with every known being in the universe. It’s a fact: everyone pisses.
