VisionHeart Presents 7 Days and 7 Nights by Mark David Hatwood
The Scary Guy - Book Cover by Pixeleye

There is an insidious disease on the planet right now! It has polarized whole sections of communities world wide, and it’s growing relentlessly, threatening to undermine the very strength of every man, woman and child’s right to live their life in true freedom and happiness.

Now people are hungry … for answers. They are in search of a live force to provide them with real guidance for living their life today. It took one man to change his name and change his ways to reach those in trouble and lead the way for those to come. His sole mission and the very first words he spoke in 1998 when he set forth on his incredible journey, were: “The Total Elimination of Hate, Violence and Prejudice Worldwide!” Since that day, Scary has worked with over 7 million people worldwide.

He is an expert in human behaviour and unique in his capacity to reach all people. The Scary Guy – The most powerful Agent for Change on the planet today! 7 Days and 7 Nights will change your life!

The Wrestler - Official Trailer


Der Wrestler Randy „The Ram“ Robinson war in den 1980er Jahren ein gefeierter Star in Amerika. Rund zwanzig Jahre später steigt er immer noch in den Ring, aus den Arenen seiner Glanzzeit sind inzwischen jedoch kleine Turnhallen geworden, in denen drittklassige Kämpfe mit ebenso gealterten Stars von einst stattfinden. Jahre des Medikamentenmissbrauchs haben auch bei Robinson ihre Spuren hinterlassen, seine langen blondierten Haare können auch nicht mehr sein Hörgerät verdecken. Und doch kommen immer noch Fans zu seinen Auftritten und feiern ihn wie einst.

The charismatic Kat Von D, the star of LA Ink, with writer Anthony Bozza (author of best-sellers "Slash" and "Tommyland") opens the door to the world of contemporary tattooing, the way only a true insider can. The book will be targeted to the tattoo audience, particularly the younger demographic that actively gets tattoos. It will include Kat's story, what inspires her, information about her show and her shop, her sketches, and her personal tattoos (she's a walking tattoo). The thrust of the book is on her point of view on tattooing now: the work she finds inspirational, past and present; great tattoo artists, from a classic artist like Sailor Jerry to people she admires who are working around the world.The book will feature the work of and profiles of/interviews with a range of contemporary tattoo artists. It will also include lots of profiles of /interviews with people who have interesting tattoos and all the stories behind them, which is a very intriguing aspect of her show. The book will have a strong voyeuristic, human interest factor along with a wealth of great line art and photography, which is being shot for the book by Lionel Deloy.

Finally, the book will include humourous visual thematic portfolios of Kat's work and aspects of tattooing she finds compelling. The examples include: Kat's portrait tattoos (for which she is famous); great work in typography, back pieces, memorials, body suits, and more. http://www.amazon.de/High-Voltage-Tattoo/dp/0061684384/

N.Y.H.C. (New York Hardcore)


Die europäische Erstveröffentlichung des legendären, 1995 gedrehten Dokumentarfilms von Frank Pavich über die New Yorker Hardcore-Szene als Doppel-DVD-Edition mit umfangreichem Bonusmaterial und über 8 Stunden Spielzeit erscheint auf Sunny Bastards. Lange bevor Bands wie AGNOSTIC FRONT, SICK OF IT ALL oder MADBALL international ausverkaufte Tourneen vor frenetisch feierndem Publikum spielten und N.Y.H.C. Markenname für einen besonders erfolgreichen Hardcore-Stil wurde, emanzipierte sich Hardcore als Genre und Szene aus den gemeinsamen Wurzeln der Punkbewegung.

Mitte der neunziger Jahre war die Szene in New York noch eine reine Underground-Bewegung, deren Musiker und Fans fernab von Erfolgserwartungen und kommerziellen Einflüssen eine eingeschworene Gemeinschaft bildeten. N.Y.H.C. begleitet 7 Bands durch den Sommer 1995, von der tiefsten Bronx bis ins beschauliche Long Island und gibt einen tiefgreifenden, unverstellten Einblick in die Psyche einer jungen, extremen und oft missverstandenen Subkultur. Bisher nur als VHS-Tape erhältlich, hat die US-Firma Halo 8 eine luxuriöse DVD-Fassung zusammengestellt, die jetzt - durch Sunny Bastards lizenziert - auch in Europa erscheint.

N.Y.H.C. ist absolutes Pflichtprogramm für jeden Hardcore-interessierten Menschen!

Hot Rod Pin-Ups II: Gearhead Girls and Dragstrip Dolls + Film by David Perry


Ace Photographer David Perry is world-renowned for his photographs of Hot Rods and girls - and this is the long-awaited second book, where the two come together! An all-new collection, with stunning images, collecting Hot Rod cars and girls together in an unmissable visual feast for any connoisseur. In the garage, on the road, the beach, salt flats, racetrack, these sumptuous pictures by the acknowledged master of Hot Rod pin-up photography recall classic illustrators like Vargas and Elvgren. But the beauties in Perry's photographs have been transported to - and transported by, it seems in some cases - the cluttered chop shops, deafening drag strips, dusty highways that Hot Rods call home. Sharing top billing are the cars of many of today's top builders, plus painstaking wardrobes and settings. Essays by the stars of the Hot Rod world round out this pulse-pounding book, a visual feast for any car aficionado.

Glen E. Friedman's FUCK YOU HEROES


Glen E. Friedman's 1st hardcover book (1994). An all time classic anthology in it's fourth printing. Early Skateboarding, Hardcore Punk, and Hip-Hop like none other. The photo quality of this slightly revised edition has increased dramatically since the original, This will be the last printing of this edition due to deterioration of the original films. Glen will be updating the the entire design slightly for the next printing in a few years.

"If Glen e. Friedman's pictures of seminal punk rockers. daredevil skateboarders and groundbreaking Def Jam artists were set to a soundtrack, it would have been "Rebel Without a Pause." They, like the photographer, are energetic, gritty and awash with Old School cool." - The Source
