"Blood On The Canvas" a FZ/Eric Bogosian project was commissioned by the Los Angeles Museum Of Contemporary Art. It featured interviews and Synclavier music by FZ, and was supposed to be available on cassette from the museum's bookstore (1986/1987). No copies are known to have been released.

The contents included two parts: 1) "Blood On The Canvas", a drama involving FZ and Bogosian that dealt with art, morality and censorship in modern society; and 2) a 07/11/86 interview with Bogosian and FZ conducted by Greg Fitzgerald from WGBH, Boston.

"Blood On The Canvas" was produced by FZ, while the Fitzgerald interview was produced by WGBH in association with the Museum Of Contemporary Art.

The entire program had a warning about its language content and discretion was advised.

In an interview with Rick Linklater Eric Bogosian said:

At the time, he (FZ) was very involved with the Dead Kennedys thing because they had gotten censored. So he wanted to make a tape that basically had to be censored. In fact, no one ever played it on the radio. It was censored in every radio station except for Boston. We had a deal with the Museum of Modern Art in LA that they could only make 10,000 copies. So these 10,000 copies were made and that was it. It was very extreme. It has these little bits of music in it, and these funny characters that talk about all these innuendo sexual experiences.

Bob Stone said it was never released because: "The version I heard involved a dispute over royalty participation, with Eric wanting more than Frank was willing to concede for his participation."
