Punk-surrealist Winston Smith has been crafting provocative collage art since the 1970s. Astonished by the complacency of the American public toward the role of corporate enterprise, he took the “happy” icons of the 1940s magazine ads and created art that challenges the viewer to confront political paradoxes of modern society.

Since 1980, his collaborations with Dead Kennedys became widely known and his art beloved for its humorous social commentary. The “DK” logo that Smith designed for the band remains the international symbol of protest against authoritarianism.

Smith’s art has been on over 50 album covers for recording artists Green Day, Burning Brides, Ben Harper, George Carlin and many more.

Matthew Kadi is a photographer, videographer, designer, avid drummer and one of the pillar figures in the present-day Californian punk scene. Introduced to punk & abstract art in junior high by his teacher, mentor and friend Wendy Brasher, Matthew & friends quickly started the now seminal punk/hardcore band Monster Squad in 1997. Later projects include Great Apes, Build Us Airplanes and Holehog.

In 1998, his Great-grandmother handed down her AE-1. This moment, along with mentor Tom Ray, sparked a lifelong interest in photography. His passion is for capturing honest, spontaneous, intrinsic portraits of punks & people, alongside electrifying moments in various social events & the fun struggles of punk shows.
