Crossing the Abyss at Hyaena Gallery


The last time I was at Hyaena was for my Man/son show in 2012-so my return there has been long overdue.Which is apt because ‘Crossing the Abyss’ is themed as “A return to the Dark in the most emblematic American place”  and I am beyond honored to be included amongst what is an internationally renowned retinue, that includes Christopher Ulrich, Clint Carney, Steven Vincent Mitchell, David Van Gough, Laurent Fièvre, Scott Holloway, Dave MacDowell, David Anthony Migitis, and one Bernie Wrightson.
Bernie of course, is the legendary master of the macabre that enlivened my childhood with the dark panels of Creepy and created what I think is the definitive illustrated Frankenstein. I believe him to be the Gustav Dore of my generation, and so it is a huge privilege to be hanging on the same wall as him and my compatriots.
Don’t miss this show if you are in the LA area.
