The interviewer noted that Aaberg writes in ALL CAPS.[2] Sean founded and played drums for Eugene-based Rock and roll band The Latrines and for the Oakland-based hardcore punk band The Masked Men. He also played drums for Baltimore-based anarcho punk band A//Political.[4]

PORK#9 cover by Sean Aaberg (November, 2012)

Aaberg is the designer and artist, with Eric Radey, of Dungeon Degenerates: Hand of Doom, a cooperative fantasy boardgame with a punk metal esthetic[8][9]

He is married to artist and photographer Katie Aaberg, who collaborates with her husband on PORK. She told an interviewer for Tension Magazine that people do not always understand their sense of humor and that they frequently receive hate mail from "activists" who lecture them on appropriate behavior, but "cultural ownership" is against their artistic vision.[10] The Aabergs ran a blog called The Daily Hitler, incorporating Nazi imagery in commentary on contemporary society.[11][12]

In September 2018, Aaberg suffered a major stroke affecting his cerebellum and brainstem.  This event left him in critical condition, severely weakened and requiring life support.[13]

Works

Pork

PORK Magazine was created by husband-and-wife artist team Sean Aaberg and Katie Aaberg in 2010.[14] PORK magazine has been a big catalyst for Weirdo Art and Rock&Roll, with an emphasis on street culture elements like denim, studs, pizza, burgers, switchblades and anti-social behavior. Its roots are in 70s New York City.[15] It was a free magazine and in circulation between 2010 and 2018.[16]

From its inception until February 2017, PORK regularly incorporated Nazi imagery. Beginning in 2017, such images were removed from the magazine as a response to changing "national circumstances", according to an interview with founder Sean Aaberg.[17]
