From the Publisher:

A hail of bullets. Dive-bombing lawnmowers. Muscle cars and femme fatales with more curves than a runaway bus! Throw in a side of cheesecake, and welcome to the shadowy underworld of Stainboy Reinel. Peeling out from the early punk rock scene (and once fronting his own supercharged rock ’n’ roll dragster, Nutrajet) Stainboy’s Day-Glo color, powerhouse linework, and love of pop culture trash have made his eye-assaulting posters a perennial favorite among rock’s cutting edge, including Motörhead, Buzzcocks, Sevendust, Flogging Molly, Joan Jett, High on Fire, Nashville Pussy, and the New York Dolls. Dripping with violent wit and dark humor, Stainboy’s posters demand immediate attention, armed with loaded guns, busty broads, gleaming street machines, and tributes to classic exploitation cinema. Stainboy’s dossier has grown to include a diversity of work for clients such as the House of Blues, Fuse TV, Galpin Auto Sports, Club International magazine, and music venues around the world. Vicious Intent: The Rock ’N’ Roll Art and Exploitation of Stainboy Reinel is the first printed collection of Stainboy’s work, featuring his retina-searing rock posters, handbills, art prints, illustrations, and more!
