HIRED GOONS IMAGE GALLERY INDEX

Note: The nature of this Photo Gallery is essentially personal, you may find a picture or two of yourself on here that you object to.  If that's the case, let us know.

In September of 2001, Mike and I hightailed it to New York City to see the sights and Michael Jackson, fighting our way to Coney Island and wrestling huge Bronze Bulls. What we got after we arrived was both a wonderful and harrowing experience in one of the greatest cities in the world. I Heart NY.

First Half of 2004 - The first half of 2004 saw me finally beginning to overcome the Heaviness that lupus had introduced into my life, and the tribute to those who kept me going through this time and helped me onward into the Blue Shift continues here.

Latter Half of 2003 - In 2003, my health was failing and I was largely confined to a small room. As it came into Summer of that year, the armies of HG had scattered and things looked rough, but as always, the spirit of foolishness and absurdity was with us. These photos are of the people who kept me going in this time and include pictures from 2003's San Onofre Trip and 2003's HG Family Dinner.

Winter 2002/Spring 2003 - We at Hired Goons get older just like you, and as we do we invariably bring rise to Special Occasions, which, of course, bring rise to many, many photos. Includes photos from 2002's HG Family Dinner, Julia's Graduation, and Paul's Wedding.

October 2002 - The house on California St. was the Hired Goons Studio and my home for most of my life. Countless memories take place within its wooden walls and a generation of artists and hooligans has passed through it. In October of '02 we said goodbye to what had been our Headquarters, our Collective Home, and our Friend. Photos from the 2002 Farewell Party and a live performance by Midnight Insanity.

Summer 2002 - The Summer of 2002 was a pretty lazy time for most of us, and rightly so, but HG Villains still managed to shoot a commercial, throw a barbecue or two, and do a lot of crossdressing. Includes photos from the Barbella Commercial Shoot and Midnight Insanity's Dykey Horror 2002.

Winter 2001/Spring 2002 - In the Spring of 2001, I began falling ill with fibromyalgia and several autoimmune disorders that changed his life. Here in this Gallery are the photos of my adventures just before the Great Divide. Includes photos from 2001's HG Christmas Dinner, HG Video Product Shots, and 2002's San Francisco Trip with Mike, Erin, and I.

Summer 2001 & Earlier - A collection of photos found lying around that hadn't yet been assimilated into the Great Consciousness of the HG. A bit of everything. A bit more of Ginda than anything else.

To coincide w/ the uploading of the HG Design Resource Pocket on our ftp (including Photoshop & Illustrator files, original source images & more), here's an updated gallery of our sticker designs/culture-sigils for 2002.  Will more than likely be updated with whatever we come up with as the year progresses.

Winter/Spring Productions - Hired Goons had its most productive season yet last Spring, working on 3 simultaneously produced videos (2 of which were ever shown).  Here's a gaggle of photos chronicling our descent into absurdity during those busy months, including shots from the ill-fated 'Downtown' shoot.

Retrospective & Misc. - Savage dipshittery has led us here at Hired Goons to engage in absurd and baffling pursuits.  This gallery illustrates a few more chapters in that long and sordid history.  Photos of Hired Goons & associates from recent years and events, or from ancient times and only recently unearthed.

A series of black-and-white photos taken by Mike during the shooting of '3 Is The Magic Number', mostly ripped directly from the proof sheets for that down-home, scratchy-as-hell touch.  A few other random photos of his thrown in for good measure

This past July, a number of us piled in a boat and floated down the Kern River, through raging rapids, naked Greeks, water-snakes, killer bees, and genetically-engineered hyper-intelligent bee/snake hybrids.  These are the hoity-toity 'official photographer' images from a part of the adventure where we were actually in the boat.

A quick series of photos from our last showcase, which featured the premiere of '3 Is The Magic Number', the 'HG 2001' presentation, and lots of drunks on the HG front-porch.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood - On June 21st, 2001, hundreds of hooligans from across the globe descended on Hollywood, CA for a Rocky Horror Convention of unheard of proportions. As with all events celebrating depravity and madness, the Hired Goons were there.  We met some celebrities and got really sun-burnt.

The Blue Puritan Project - The Blue Puritan is a man of many faces and great conviction, stalking the streets of America, keeping its citizens safe from loose morals.  He is also the impetus behind us getting any and everyone we could find to wear an odd blue hat my mother found years ago and take pictures of them. (Including Elvira, Patricia Quinn, and World-Class Sexy Bitch Bob Simon (left)).

A collection of photos from our daily lives, snippets of idiocy and madness.  This Gallery focuses mostly on individual photos of Old School Goons.  There are some hideous, high-school-style photos mixed-in, so steel thyself for some ugliness.

A second collection of images, with more of a focus on groups of people and random Weirdness from parties and social activities from the past few years.

Photos and stills from the past year of movie-making.  Shots from Birdhouse In Your Soul, Paneful Addiction, U Mean I'm Not?, and The Dead Hate the Dead Hate the Living.

Photoshop for recreational and professional use.  A small little gallery of some design work from the past year.  Cool stuff, Joke stuff, or just a joke, you decide. 

The Oldest of the Old School, the RJMCPM movies were the pride and joy of our adolescent film-making lives.  Here's a BigAss gallery of stills, chronicling their epic saga, more or less in no order whatsoever.  Prepare to be offended.

A few photos from our first self-imposed Christmas Dinner, and the strange and terrible journey to Las Vegas that followed.

We didn't get many photos from this past year's Halloween festivities and premiere party, but the ones we did get make us feel warm and happy inside.  Starring Ryan Pane as a True American Hero.

This past Spring, Paul hypnotized us into believing that traveling 4-7 hours to pick berries in Northern California was a good idea, and he was right.  On the way back we were caught in a time/space vortex that kept us on  the '1' for six straight days and drove us insane. 

This all happened a while ago, but it was an ass-full of fun, so the pictures are included here for posterity.  7 young punks high-tail it to Mexico for a local bar's Christmas party and make asses of themselves for almost 24 hours straight.  Life does not get better.

Last year we met Mr. T.  These are the pictures that prove it.

I got really bored around Mid-'99 and decided to take my Godzilla-fetish to uncharted territories.  We claimed we would amass an army of T-Shirts, but I'm satisfied enough with just the designs.  If you're from ToHo don't sue me, I give you money.
