Fish’s symbiotic work with the Eternal City uses a library of symbols and characters to tell real-life narratives in a surreal way and alter the established order. His vivid imagination stems from his bilateral artistic persona, which combines solitary introspection with the exuberance of changing perspectives. $29.00 8x12in 978-88-88493-31-2 Available ISBN paperback 96pgs Drago SCB ART BOOK CATALOG | 1 I ART MUERTE NEW Art By Mike Giant Muerte is a celebration of the master of black ink, Mike Giant.

Scott Fitzgerald was dead wrong when he said there are no second acts in American lives. Though famous in the 1980s as the drummer for alt-rock heroes The Replacements, Mars eventually left the music world behind entirely to focus on the visual arts, now specializing in stunningly evocative macabre portraits.” —The Onion A.V.
