A LONG LONG TIME AGO IN THE FUTURE... Skummie.com was started by a Hungarian monk born in 2085 named Dante Rodriguez Alverez Sanchez Carpenter Grechtstotter XIII. In 2115 he invented the time machine, thus enabling him to travel back in time to the year 2006. There he started a clothing company called “Skummie” named after the emperor of the world “The Great Skummie”. The Great Skummie was an evil alien from Mars who became emperor after a martian invasion in 2113. Dante Rodriguez Alverez Sanchez Carpenter Grechtstotter XIII thought The Great Skummie looked damn cool with his X shaped eyes, thinning hair, and devilish horns. With that in mind he took some of the Great Skummie's propaganda imagery with him back to the year 2006 to sell to the people of Earth. He thought if he could sell enough skummie T-shirts by the time The Great Skummie came to Earth in 2113, he would see people wearing his shirts and think he had already invaded Earth, and go back to Mars! Brilliant right? Dante Rodriguez Alverez Sanchez Carpenter Grechtstotter XIII would be the greatest hero Earth had ever known for his time traveling good deed...err....no wait that's not right....oh yeah that's the cover story created by the government. oh fine fine fine!! I will tell the truth to ya puny pathetic humans...just...uh...keep reading ya flea bitten pukes. OK THE REAL STORY IS A LITTLE LESS EXCITING.... Skummie.com was actually started by me, a graphic artist by the name of Kory “Skummie” Schuerman, back in 2006 with the purpose of selling rad hats, killer shirts, and slap-tastic stickers (and anything else i can think of) featuring my artwork. I never went to art school, but I’ve been drawing ever since I was an infant...ok not that long...but for as long I can remember. Cutting my teeth copying cartoon characters and comic book superhero’s (ever heard of wolverine? adamantium claws? Yeah, that's what I thought). Eventually, through many many years of drawing every cartoon I could get my grubby mits on, I tought myself how to draw. Later on in high school I started to draw insane clowns and crazy monsters in my own style. Random people on the street always yell out to me, "You should do something with your art". Ok well maybe not people on the street but..you know...people..... So I decided to make some T-shirts, hats, and stickers and more shit (eventually, if you behave) under under the moniker “Skummie”. I figured the best thing to do was try to sell them online. In 2006 I did just that. The results are this very web site you are browsing now. Since then I’ve expanded my horizons into freelance art. I've been designing T-shirts and doing art for Protone guitar pedals. I've gotten to work with some pretty awesome bands like: Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Pantera, Ramones, Ruination, Calabrese, Crimson mask, Razorblade dolls, etc. I'm actually getting paid to draw! It’s crazy but amazing and fun. I plan to keep making much much much more killer shit. so If you creeps dig my current swag well...buy something from me! I'm happy to sell it to you, then I'll be able make even more shit for you punks! thus there will be world peace....then terminators will kill us all...but before all that goes down there will be lots of world peace. -Kory "SKUMMIE" Schuerman |
