Devin Flynn For Mixpak

We deal in remanipulation because nothing can be created that doesn’t already exist. Reality is condensed so far into it self that a culture created subconsciously ordered symbols to represent all ideas and matter. The symbols are armed and dangerous to any other form of representation. No talk or action can destroy the symbol. Nothing can make a symbol bust except a greater symbol. The symbol has armed itself to resist the false formations which persist to be placed upon its structure. The absolute magnetic correspondence of a symbol to our ideas through the manipulation of our body for the conception of energy is transferred and placed down on the paper the right way.

Devin Flynn is the creator of the animated show “Ya’ll So Stupid” (check for it on Adultswim.com) and bassist for DFA band Pixeltan. When he’s not busy with those duties, he can be found directing videos for Flying Lotus with Eric Wareheim (see this amazing Dance Floor Dale video), designing logos for Loud Records (yep he did that classic headphone logo) and curating video art events for Deitch Project’s in New York. For more on Flynn, check this interview with Vice Magazine.

For his Mixpak Artist Series t-shirt, Flynn reportedly took inspiration from some old Rammellzee tapes that he would keep on repeat as he would draw in the studio. Rammellzee’s Gothic Futurism was the guide, but the words and shirt are all his own.

The Devin Flynn For Mixpak T-Shirt is available for purchase now.

Whats the rush? Take your time…enjoy yourself. There are good things to come. Bad things too. In this life there’s no telling what will happen, what won’t happen, who we’ll meet, or who we’ll be in 20 years. Sometimes the more you want something the less likely you are to get it. It’s quite odd how good things come when we aren’t desperate for them to. And then again, sometimes things happen exactly as we expect they will. There’s just no telling. So take it easy, be kind to your friends and stop trying to get ahead.
