“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”.Get it here: Chronicle Books, or cheaper at Amazon

This past February 12th, the “The Red Light Exhibit” curated by Genevive Zacconi and present by The Dirty Show along with Last Rites Gallery opened. The show had works by Paul Booth, Scott G Brooks, Shawn Barber, Vincent Castiglio, Colin Christian, Brian Viveros, Dan Quintana, Camilla d’Errico, David Stoupakis, Michael Hussar and many more. Genevive was nice enough to send over some photos of the reception night, some shots of the works and the festivities that also took place. Some of the photos are NSFW, just wanted to state that so no one got mad at me.

Dan Quintana & Brian Viveros prints @ Copro Nason
Coming this Friday. February 6th the Copro Gallery will open “Desensitized” with new works from Dan Quintana and Brian Viveros. There will even be a few collaborative paintings in the show as well. To go along with this new show the gallery just released five new prints, three from Viveros, one from Quintana and a lithograph of the collaborative piece named after the show for only $20 (shown first). The rest of the prints are giclee on paper, save for the “BULL-FIGHT-HER” by Viveros that is on board and comes framed. I really like the “300 Proof Dolly” print by Dan Quintana, it’s an amazing image (shown second).
