How To Contribute To Kill Pretty

August 22, 2022/ Nacho

So you’ve been reading Kill Pretty for years. You spend all your hard earned cash on the print issue and you’re not really sure what the publishing schedule for the online version is but you know you like it, or at the very least you tolerate its existence. But isn’t there something missing from Kill Pretty? Aside from a more regular schedule and, I don’t know, more nudity. It’s you dum-dum! Do you write personal essays that your mom would disown you if she read them? Do you illustrate weird cartoons that would get you interred in Shutter Island? A third thing that’s also weird and fits in the format of a website? Then send it over!

An Excerpt From Our Big Ass Interview With Baer

July 11, 2022/ Jacob Shelton

Issue Six of Kill Pretty has a ridiculously oversized interview with the one and only graffiti god Baer. How big is this interview? It’s so dang big that we could post excerpts online for years and we would never get to the good stuff. Buy the magazine if you want to read the entire thing, or continue to read these excerpts and attempt to piece together what the interview might look like in print.

Tis The Season

December 14, 2020/ Nacho

On days like this it’s impossible to stay inside. Just try it. Something will force you out. To confront the ball of fire that sits in the sky like a cigarette burn with hell behind it. So I go outside to go inside. I go into the tunnels under the city where it’s dark. Pitch black in fact. It’s my way to escape while also giving in. I would say that the sun feels good on my skin but that would be a lie. Not on a day like today. Today it burns. It burns in mid December because Los Angeles.

Floating Eyes Under Los Angeles

July 04, 2017/ Nacho

I paint graffiti. I paint graffiti but not in a way you’d expect. Instead of hitting the streets, tagging my name on walls and billboards I go underground. Many people don’t know this but Los Angeles, as well as every city, has tunnels running under it. No, these aren’t sewers carrying LA citizens precious excrement away from their toilets, these are the tunnels that take rain water from the mountains and bring it to the sea. So I go into these tunnels, underground, and I paint.

Wastedland 2 Closing Party

April 25, 2017/ Nacho

Come to our closing show this SATURDAY! At Supercheif Gallery!

Unlike skateboarding, rapping or video games, graffiti is, and will always be, inherently illegal. Because graffiti is so destructive by nature, it will never be fully accepted into mainstream society. It will always be shunned and because of this there will always been an underground world that the mainstream will not understand. That’s the best part: We have our own code, our own world, and as much as the street artists and Nike commercials want to get in, they will forever be left kicking rocks.

CHUNEED Graffiti Interview

January 31, 2015/ Jason Gardner

It seems like you really can't go anywhere in this world anymore without seeing graffiti. The pastime has snowballed to such a degree that it has become as second nature as seeing a tree or someones gross baby. It's a busy world out there and most people don't have time to think about the person behind the scrawl they see out of the corners of their eyes when they're on their way to Bed, Bath and Beyond at 9:00am. But we do! We sat down with the bay areas own CHUNEED and asked her 10 questions...

Rock In Peace - 10 Bands Definitely Breaking Up in 2015

January 09, 2015/ Jacob Shelton

2015 has begun, and as Kill Pretty’s resident music know it all/sass machine, I think it’s important that we cleanse ourselves of the negative vibes of 2014 as we prepare for the even worse vibes coming in 2015. We can all admit that last year was mostly terrible. Save for a few personal highlights (a couple of friends got married and I ate the world’s largest hot dog), 2014 was full of terrible news. The police murdered people in the streets, we were tricked into caring about a Seth Rogen film, and an entire airplane disappeared. Worst of all, we were inundated with some truly awful music. If you read my last column, you’ll know that I liked a few songs last year but that's about it.
