“Weirdo Noir” book by Matt Dukes Jordan

The author of the book “Weirdo Deluxe”, is back with a new book talking the gothic and dark art scene. The book is 9″ x 9″, 192 pages and features work from more than 20 artists such as Attaboy, Ana Bagayan, Glenn Barr, Jonathan Bergeron, Ray Ceasar, Jason d’Aquino, Bob Dob, Alex Gross, Sarah Joncas, Annette Hassell, Fred Harper, Dan Kennedy, Laurie Lipton, Travis Louie, Tara McPherson, Skot Olsen, Nathan Ota, Annie Owens, Anthony Pontius, Isabel Samaras, Shag, Dani Tull, Brian Viveros, and Edward Walton Wilcox.
I enjoyed Weirdo Deluxe quite a bit, and this book seems like a good followup. I’m not sure if I agree about the “noir”, or as stated in the description “artists who have embraced the dark side, employing gothic themes in their art.” There are a few artists in that list that have dark works for sure, but maybe I just have a different definition of “dark and gothic”.

Kris Kuksi – Divination and Delusion Pre-Order

The Beinart Surreal Collective, has just sent a new book to the publishers to be released this coming December. A new book on the works of Kris Kuksi entitled “Divination and Delusion”. The book was to be released this September, but 40 extra pages were added so the book as been pushed back, but with the extra pages the wait will be well worth it. The work of Kuksi is absolutely mind-blowing; to see these works in person is really something special. While a book is rarely a good replacement for seeing the art in person, this book allows one to not only add a great to book to their collection, but to really delve into the intricacies of Kuksi’s work. Each assemblage is so hyper-detailed, its often hard in a gallery setting to really see everything in each work displayed. The book is in pre-order, so head on over and make sure you get a copy.
