Erik Sprague aka The Lizardman is a freak. The 34-year-old Texas resident transformed himself from a doctoral candidate in philosophy to sideshow performer, with an estimated 650-700 hours of tattooing and other body modifications including several piercings, subdermal implants above each of his eyes, filed teeth, and a bifurcated tongue.

I have known, Paul/Slug/Enigma, and Jim for over 15 yrs now...

I know who you are...and Frankly?

You are a rip-off and you know it...

You should investigate just how fucking 'original' this guy is...seriously.

It was nice to see a good interview with Erik.
I had the pleasure of meeting him at a RAB munch many years ago and he was a really nice guy.

He was at the Boston Con with the Suicide Girls a few weeks ago, and was a super nice guy. I wouldn't be surprised if he popped up on SG again sometime soon....

he is a complete fucking idiot.
does he think he is a real lizard or something? or is he just looking for attention? or both?
that isn't art. That is a complete waste of perfectly good air.

You should probably worry about yourself instead of how someone else chooses to live their life.

And who are you, oh_wise_one, to decide what is or isn't art?

Personally, I enjoyed the interview.

You didn't get the memo that Bob is the absolute authority on what is or is not art?!?

it was a good interview props to the journalist
i am a member of the Jim rose circus and a side show performer i know lizard he knows me

first i want to say i don't know any thing about this bob fellow but i can vouch for Gory as she was there and in an authority on the industry and the art as a whole

all i want to post is that lizards "new' tricks the one he said he was going to take stunts "to more extreme levels" what he means to say is he has taken original tricks other people like
Ryan Stock
http://www.insane-entertainment.com/
and started doing them and stopped answering ryan's calls

readers if you don't yet know Ryan stock wait a year and i know you will
Ryan does them much better

orz....i could care less what he does. I won't lose any sleep.

The SG girls love him so i guess everyone should to? That's pretty much how things work on this site.

you know, you people judging him are really disappointing me. isn't this website supposed to embrace all that is not "mainstream"? you have not had the pleasure of getting to know Mr. Lizardman. We girls who went to the Boston Tattoo Convention did. He is honestly the nicest, sweetest guy ever. Who cares if you think his tattoos/mods are stupid... he did this for himself, not for your entertainment. he didn't wake up one day and decided to undergo hours of transformation for an act. where's the fucking respect?

besides, his wife is a hotter girl than any of you could ever get.
