TIM KERR
Tim moved to Austin in 1974 to attend The University of Texas at Austin and there he earned a degree in painting and photography. While in the art department, he studied under famed photographer Garry Winogrand and was awarded a Ford Foundation grant for his work.
Tim is also well-known for his slashing guitar work in seminal punk bands The Big Boys, Poison 13, Monkeywrench, Lord High Fixers and more.
His artwork combines social awareness with iconic figures
and searing images overlaid by inspirational quotes. He has been involved in many different scales, from murals to artwork on skateboards.

BUTCH ANTHONY
Mr. Anthony has made up his own word, “intertwangleism,” a label he paints on a lot of his pieces, which he defined this way: “Inter, meaning to mix,” he said. “And twang, a distinct way of speaking. If I make up my own ‘ism,’ no one can say anything or tell me I’m doing it wrong.”
Butch’s art world contains sly reworkings of existing paintings, sculptures made of discarded metal and wood, and semi-apocryphal taxidermy all creating a unique voice that has charmed the art world from his native Alabama through New York City, London, and beyond.
Butch did a show in the Goner Store in 2004 which was a huge thrill for us. In the ten years since that show, Butch has become strangely sorta famous, but hasn’t changed a bit. A recent show at Yolo Gallery in Water Valley, MS was a sensation. We are thrilled to have him back.

JOHN HENRY TONEY
Mr. John Henry Toney grew up in Sandfort, Alabama and farmed all his life. He used to drive a tractor around Seale and plow up folk’s garden patches for them. One day he plowed up a turnip with a human face on it… His art career was born. He’s 83 years old and draws everyday.

TIMMY LAMPINEN
Timmy, well-known in Goner circles as the the Human Eye / Timmy’s Organism / Clone Defects singer and guitar mangler, is also a 2010 Kresge Grant Arts award winner. As Timmy’s music strives for wild departures and maximum impact via spaced-out sounds, his artwork spreads the color of consciousness and fredom with righteous abandon. His album covers are some of the trippiest of anyone working in the medium today.
