RIP, Mascara Snake… (Just found out about it)
Ausgang will be curating a show, opening March 30, featuring the art of the Mascara Snake and Victor Hayden [sic], who died in December. Hayden was a member of Captain Beefheart and Don Van Vliet’s cousin. Along with playing in the band, Hayden created the artwork for Trout Mask Replica and later on for the Melvins, as well as showing nationally and internationally in various phases of his life.

Clarification: The Mascara Snake was Victor Hayden. I gather that he’s the same Victor Hayden who was associated with the Bay Area punk scene (e.g. helping start 924 Gilman St. in Berkeley).
