social certificates of existence
Occassionally another member of society will acknowledge my artistic efforts in a way that allow other people to discover my alive-ness. Here are a few.
Issue 12 of
Backside Skate Mag
Shot during an overnight skate trip in the southern mountains of Colorado in 2022. We trucked down the plywood runway from Denver and used a rusty shopping cart corral that was found on the land. We hit every skatepark between Denver and Crestone and i ate shit at every single one. The photo was taken with a 105mm macro lens with only natural light and Levi's natural talent. We got to the property just before sunset and quickly went to work setting up the spot and the shot.

This past Friday, the Terrasitic Infestation Tour made a stop in Englewood, Colorado to throw down at the Gothic Theatre. With Cattle Decapitation headlining and Immolation, Sanguisugabogg, and Castrator providing support, the night proved to be a wild time, as fans came out to show their support for some of today’s best death and extreme metal bands around.
While this sort of tour and show is something that the people that attended likely will be talking about for a while, we managed to get a photographer out to immortalize the proceedings. As you can see in the galleries below, everyone left it all on the stage and the floor, as musicians and fans fed off each other’s energy to create a truly chaotic and cathartic evening.
We’d like to extend our gratitude to photographer Jacob Juno, whose work behind the camera helped capture the badass show. If you’re so inclined, feel free to follow him over on Instagram.
Keep in mind that there are still a few dates left on the Terrasitic Infestation tour, so take a look at the following dates to see if you can experience the mayhem yourself!

Last Friday, a killer show featuring Veil of Maya, Angelmaker, Reflections, Alluvial, and Left to Suffer took place at Denver’s Gothic Theater as part of the ongoing [M]other Tour. And while it was just a stop on their roughly month-long U.S. run of dates to kick off 2024, we had a camera on site to capture the show.
Thanks to the incredible work of photographer Jacob Juno, we got great shots of all five of the bands, giving you a chance to either relive your experience if you were at the show or giving you a front-row look at how things went down. Go ahead, live vicariously through all those people just having fun at a show. Makes your Friday night look kinda tame in comparison, right?
Well fix that shit. They’ve got a buncha shows still lined up until Feb. 16 so if you can get your ass to a show, go ahead and do it! You’ll have a hell of a time.
As for the photos below, be sure to give Jacob Juno a follow over on Instagram for more excellent photos.

Any chance to highlight the live show that Tool puts on, you know we’re gonna take it. Thankfully, they’ve been touring a lot lately off the back of their album Fear Inoculum, so there’s been plenty of reason to check them out yourself.
Just the other day, Tool took the stage at Denver’s Ball Arena with Elder on hand as the supporting act. So needless to say, we’re sure there were plenty of folks in the crowd experiencing an… altered reality.
Thankfully, we had photographer Jacob Juno on site to get some killer photos of both bands taken for the site. And as a killer behind the camera, the shots we got were pretty damn good, as you can tell below. Be sure to give Jacob Juno a follow over on Instagram for more excellent photos.
You can find the remaining U.S. dates of their current tour below.
