[sadpdrunk69]

Wat a bunch of pussies ! Haha Punks not dead fuckers

[DrDickInYourFace]

[runedude65]

@petestacoshack Yea, but we killed him too.

[xxJuliHHxx]

Now Bin Laden is dead too ):

[tobywongcharliechang]

How long did this take, just out of curiosity?

[Amarox3000]

that was awesome! you know what amazes me? how you managed to get the perfect shade for the bone. How do you do that?

[jyo2379]

It never died, its just hiding and waiting for the perfect time to reveal itself.

[cakemaster4ever]

Fuck Yeah

[pushyoureyesin]

?Where can I download Jeffrey Lewis' discography?

[TheBigez17]

I listen this makes me fake. I personally enjoy this album because it is another way to enjoy the beauty of crass.

[TheBigez17]

dude screw u I'm not a hipster and I love crass but I think Jeffery Lewis is a good artist. I'm a real punk guy but just because

[Kamichaos2121]

This is the most FUCKING funny thing I have ever heard. So for all of you dumb cunts out there this cover is what the original maker of this song is talking about. hipster cunts you should all kill your selfs do you not realize NO ONE LIKES YOU! THIS IS A FUCKING COVER!!!!!!!!!!! WE HATE YOU HIPSTERS listen to crass dick heads

[RawrAngLovesYou]

oka i must of watched this like 20,000 times in the past two days but i really cant figure out how you did the whole mouth moving thing! its amazing!

[lemonloveswords]

i want to buy one for sure..

[nnanncii]

this is not possible..how do you do it!!?!  you're AMAZING!:D

[purplehaze904]

wow i really liked your calavera,it makes me wana eat her exposed brain...

good job, n viva jeffrey lewis!

[fides127]

just perfect!!!

[DeusEbrius]

Nice painting, the cover fucks the song up though. Crass had so much energy and noise and this is soft and melancholy.

[Scarypair92]

I love the part where the skull is kind of lipsyncing to the song :D

[DAVINOENTERPRISES]

I have a friend at MTV and THIS IS A HIT, AS IS.

you figure out what to do next...

[kayway9]

its just another cheap product for the consumers head.....

:)

[Ancaferocks4ever]

dude that painting kicks ass

[signormai]

punk is dead?ahahahah,fuck you and shut up the fuck!!!

[foamy1graff]

@signormai

you gon tell crass fuck you?

[signormai]

@foamy1graff  Yes.I believe in the words of Exploited..

[sourLezle]

love your work and your inspiration

[Aleksux]

wow, the part with is skull singing is great! was repainted repeatedly? if so, kickass.

[oiImyoi]

Fuckin' good cover and the paint is great.

[Wholecar77]

punk is dead, punx ain´t. yet.

nice vid, nice painting, lovely crass cover.

"Let me know what you think in the comments x"? I think i´m gonna smoke another joint.

[JESSESEIBEL]

@DuuDuuber 1. Punk IS dead.

2. Crass are great!

3. This is a good cover.

4. Don't be callin' others hippie!

[thedarkspirit]

Lyrics so true. :)

[psyconetwork951]

Fuck all of you. Punk is not dead, its just in a coma... from all the beer.

[LEdPRINCEgirl]

jeffrey lewis is punk.

[berdoDRUNK]

THIS COVER OF CRASS FUCKING SUCKS!!!

[pinballwizard01]

@DuuDuuber, yeah obviously your not a true punk fan. punk is dead, the feeling, the spirit, the sound, the social impact, everything. it became a movement, everyone sold out. crass was right, it is dead. and, Jeffrey Lewis knows more about punk than you ever will. punk still exists, don't get me wrong. but, it ain't what it used to be.

[Johnoco66]

Very, very shit.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[Raiown]

Your guys' vision of what punk should be is dead but the punk I believe in and create is alive and thriving.

By the way Chen, this painting still is really cool even though I have watched the video a good 10 or 11 times. :)

[thelivingsped]

I disagree, punk is not dead. Its definitely been cheapened, but there are still plenty of real punks out there. But this is a awesome song anyway, and the painting is still fucking cool.

[xxxKINGFROGxxx]

@thelivingsped "real punk" whats that then?

[thelivingsped]

Perhaps Real punk is a bad way to describe it. Someone who doesn't just use punk as a fashion.

[xxxKINGFROGxxx]

@thelivingsped like trying to find a diamond in a sea of shit!

[AnonimosArtist]

Your art is so amazing! How did you get to be so good?

[xxxroadxxxkillxxx]

Punk is NOT dead.

[generalbonestorm]

punks not dead - its just resting its eyes

[dogma264]

Everything is Dead, theres no point in following anything that started more than 10 years ago, thats why im just a kid

[officercivilian]

OH SHIT DUDE!!!!!! I subscribed to you because you too enjoy Jeffrey Lewis!! (and also your vids are very entertaining :P)

[JacobTLove]

Love it, well done man

[my2morning]

wow! so true ! + awesome painting:)

[SgtBastard101]

What I wanna know is if Hair Metal is dead?!

[PartyBoy64]

It has always been about money. People say punk just turned into money. But at the end of the day I want money, you want money, they want money, he/she wants money. I want to be happy too.

[MUNCHDUDE]

nice cover ^^ Crass <3

[petestacoshack]

punk's not dead it's just in hiding. like Osama Bin laden

[betheboredom]

@petestacoshack How ironic is this shit?

[CoreyL11]

@betheboredom hahahah

[thekidlogic]

@petestacoshack does that mean punk is dead now?

[TALLI2]

@petestacoshack and now he is dead so fuck you punk is dead

[momadaddy123]

@petestacoshack punk is dead like Osama Bin laden

[suiseisekiryu]

@momadaddy123 yeah america kills everithing

[cedricb962]

the song suck...

[KonVay1]

heh jeffrey lewis sucks at crass xD 

errrm if i give you the rights to my person, will you trade me for an external hard drive with stephen fry??

[billybadbrakes]

..I can't make my mind up?!?! ..is it Sandstone or Magnolia on the wall?!?!

[SCLOSANGELESX3]

fuck he just fucked up a very good song fucken asshole

[mythicaljake]

It was in good taste, he did a very good job and I think he made Penny Rimbaud proud.

I know this'll piss off alot of diehard Crass fans but I actually preferred Jeffrey Lewis' covers to the originals. He put new life into the classics, y'know?

[Yulyu89]

I like the way you used the orange.

[XxxAuroricxxX]

How much for the painting

[cheekychen]

Stephen Fry owns it now. I traded it for an external hard-drive.

I have other paintings that are open to offers. It depends on what you're looking to spend. Feel free to send me a private message if you want more info. Cheers.

[MUNCHDUDE]

Nice Crass cover

[Iluvcrystalsassalot]

Love this.... have to come back and watch it all the time!! thanks for the creativity

[DirectorToby]

This is fantastic, the video - the artwork , everything about this.

[000macedonia000]

lovely painting ,but one comment for the song-PUNK IS NOT DEAD

[radioschizo]

@000macedonia000 um.. yeah, the song is a cover by Jeffrey Lewis of Punk is Dead by Crass, one of the best punk bands of all time. It was released in 1978 when they saw punk becoming a household fad for people to yell and pretend they're badass whilst playing into the system they claimed to rail against. Maybe learn a bit about punk before you comment, yeah?

[killeragnew]

You obviously missed the point of the song. You're an idiot.

[corykai]

Awesome man, this is brilliant.

[Jackcreambun]

incredible

[theWOUSTER]

how to ruin a crass song

[ArtCrimez]

i love painting skulls, yours was f&ckin rad!

[NabeelMusic]

YOU MAKE YOUR PAINTING SING!!! LOL!!!! That was awesome!

[franka91]

[PrinceforPeace]

1. This a good song

2. Good job on the painting and animation.

3. The sarcasm was fairly blatant.

[hexachordal]

Stephen Fry's wall?! What did I miss?!

[cheekychen]

Yeah man, I'm meeting him on Friday to swap it for an external hard drive! - I tweeted a few days ago that I needed one to complete some commissioned work and couldn't afford one.. so I asked if anyone would like to make a trade for a painting and he replied!!

mad or what!?

[leppardlady1978]

I so love your painting, love your use of colours too :-)

[achengadoo]

Ahhhh Paulio,

You're soo talented. xx

[cheekychen]

[pixonu]

I was here for another peek ;)

[jantheempress]

Cool Beans!

[THfanlucy]

This video is amazing!

[richfranz84]

Chen,

You ought to check out "Der Spiegel" online....look at their "pictures" section. There is a group of pics about the mayday demonstrations in Germany. I would say that "punk" is not dead in germany. (especially in Berlin) : ) Great video and great song and really love the skull... all this being commented on by an incognito Dead Head hippy / punk.....yeah I have been known in the past to go to both extremes. : )

[dahvehzone]

wht paint is it? oil? acrilyc? ?

[cheekychen]

acrylics ^___^

[jimbobjun]

Hi Paul, I just became a partner the other day and was wondering if you have the option of using copyright music just without the advert on it?

Because I'm not sure I'll be able to just use royalty free music.

[cheekychen]

congrats! the terms & conditions say you're only supposed to upload material you have permission to use.

[eaglecrowowl]

I love the movement you added to the mouth - or is that thing alive! It is so much fun to watch your paintings come to life.  Great color. :)

[cheekychen]

haha, cheers Caren, I'm pleased you liked it.. The lip-syncing was a bit of an after-thought (when I went to edit it for the third time!!)

:]

[Fuksda900]

pop is dead you fuckin' bitch

[redlions11]

I old enough to be yo mama but punk isn't dead, you're right pop is dead, but don't cuss.

[cheekychen]

if he wants to cuss, let him. It's not hurting anyone.

free speech n all that!

[Fuksda900]

punk isn't dead you mother fuckers

[pimpskadaddy]

your an idiot , did you not understand the song?

[TacticalNap]

Awesomeness. 8)

[aimeebaines]

Oh man i just realized why i never had you on my list when you mader a new video - i never subscribed to you! XD

[TheHeroesKC]

im gonna kick some ones ass over punk being dead because punk is not dead!!!!

[cheekychen]

that's the spirit

[TheHeroesKC]

im not like those pussy preps who dont stand up for what they believe if you dont stand up for your beliefs then youre a panzee ass bitch

[mellovesthedead]

what an amazing talent! great job!<3

[misshelenc]

[2guitars64]

look forward to talkin to you mate.. If you have decent internet you should make a skype account and we can chat for free. I miss your face :(

[ChatDeCiel]

The song lyrics are so true!! Punk is another capitalistic way to grab money, it makes people believe and then everyone just drowns in the fashion statement...it is all money in the end!

[theohsolovelyliz]

I love Jeffrey Lewis!

Way to have good taste.

And you have quite a talent. :)
