EYE ON THE EAST VILLAGE Episode 9 PUNK Magazine's JOHN HOLMSTROM

43m · EYE ON THE EAST VILLAGE with host EV GRIEVE · 18 May 15:37

EYE ON THE EAST VILLAGE Episode 9 features special guest JOHN HOLMSTROM, OG East Village resident artist, designer and creator of PUNK Magazine. While EV Grieve remains behind-the-scenes, Alex Carpenter & Maegan Hayward of the East Village Vintage Collective are back to guest co-host for an in-depth and hilarious conversation with the iconic magazine's founder and publisher. John tells amazing stories about his early years in the city, creating PUNK and becoming an integral part of the CBGB's scene, his many adventures collaborating with downtown's greatest artists and musicians over the years, being a cartoonist at heart and much, much more.

John Holmstrom created PUNK Magazine in 1975, which launched the CBGB/punk rock movement and was instrumental in the success of many bands such as Blondie, the Ramones, and the Dead Boys. Its hand-lettered graphics inspired many crudely-designed fanzines and helped create the “punk art” that inspired the East Village art scene.

He has drawn and designed many posters, t-shirt designs, record, book and CD covers for The Ramones, The Dandy Warhols, the Rolling Stones, 50 Kaitenz and Murphy’s Law, magazines such as Bananas, High Times, Heavy Metal, and Video Games and has collaborated on films such as DOA: A Right of Passage and CBGB. His archives are housed in Yale University's Beinecke Library and his work is on display at the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, and in the permanent archives of the Museum of Modern Art.
