You're an Asshole for Reading This

A short documentary video introduction to The Suckhole, the "super-secret facility" of The Sucklord and headquarters for Suckadelic Enterprises. Sucklord is the alter-ego of Morgan Phillips, a lifelong Star Wars fan and unrepentant toy geek who lived with his mother until he was 36. In recent years he has flipped the script by becoming a creator of "bootleg" action figures (and more) that fall into that broad, largely undefined category of Pop Art. Think: mash-up toys or reimagined figures. In 2011 a MUST READ Village Voice article called him "the designer-toy world's biggest jerkbag". A 2012 interview on the "Unofficial Suckadelic Fanclub" Galactic Jerkbags. Going back further, a 2008 formatmag.com interview . Hear also, Morgan Phillips' Stars Wars themed music mashups . Not to be missed are the Sucklord's Flickr pages and Suckadelic YouTube channel

Ok, I got annoyed by the "didn't lose his virginity until he was 21" bit in the VV article -- like that's not a totally average age for that milestone. Anyway. Love the pink stormtroopers; will read more.

I remember seeing him on a weird art reality show, Work of Art.

The Sucklord even has a parodist, the Schmucklord. (The Schmucklord's mission statement: "My clever plan is to make crap instead of good stuff but pretend like I done it on purpose! Clever.") Instead of getting defensive, the Sucklord reached out, asking the joker to scribble on trading cards that would become limited-edition. "I absorbed him," says the Sucklord. "Free labor."

That's brilliantly now.

"the baby popped out like toast. Literally. Like, boing!"

Now every time somebody I know has a child, I will be secretly thinking "boing!"

I highly recommend Star Wars Breakbeats!

I've had a gay stormtrooper up on my wall for a few years and I'm an asshole for buying it.
