Figured I'd share this since the CD I'm on the cover/book art for just arrived at my doorstep...

... I am a model for Ministry's new international release album "From Beer to Eternity" smile Photo by Allan Amato, makeup by Jessica DeBen (assisted by Morgan Merrill).

My favorite thing is opening up the CD case and seeing my face staring back at me. So cool!

You can watch the behind the scenes/making of video here. Some other well known featured models are Ulorin Vex, Io Waters, etc smile

My part where I am featured is 1:10 or so into the video. There's another moment otherwise at around :21 seconds in when we were doing the umbrella sets, but it's VERY brief:

Edit: Also got a signed CD/print as well just now smile

They're still going smile I'm not sure if this will be their last album or not... there was some talk of that, but I've heard conflicting things about it at this point.

JMO - It's Ministry. Best in a while though. Sounds like Al spent time with Tommy from Prong and Sascha from KMFDM.

I read something where he said he is currently involved with 6 or 7 other bands / projects. I agree that it is good he is doing things. Anything is better than nothing.

Glad he is healthy and working. Hate to see him go...
