Years ago…. If someone handed you a list, said, “Run by the store for me,” the list started with butter, bacon, eggs, milk, sometimes cigarettes.
That time is gone. Today’s list: egg whites, maybe; rice milk, maybe. Butter and Bacon — NO.
Zackery Stover is NOT THAT CAT. Butter and Bacon top the list. He believes in what they give to life — the very curve they add to the muscle on the bone. Held close to the soul.
Butter ‘N’ Bacon is produced in Austin TX, generating branding, portraits, political prints, and merchandise. These works are stamped in engaging shades and wit, and with a deceptively deep bite. Like a bright-eyed cartoon tiger, their work sings and dances you in close, then snarls with razored teeth before snapping the real message: “Pay F-ing Attention!” B ‘N’ B’s work has such definition it requires it’s own name.
As Janis Joplin once offered, “I always wanted to do my own fucking number but I didn’t really have any person to be or anything to build my trip around… So this music thing came along… It was everything I needed… It was something to believe in. It was all there.” Enter Butter ‘N’ Bacon’s “own fucking thing”.
