Normally
on our page we do a daily post featuring an independent artist, someone
without a huge promotional budget or an up and coming artist who could
use our help to get their work out to more people, but today we would
like to take a moment to remember a great man who was an artist of many
forms. Dave Brockie, a very skilled visual and performing artist and
frontman for the bands Gwar, Death Piggy,
and The Dave Brockie Experience passed away yesterday. In honor of all
of the support he has given to up and coming musicians and the
inspiration he has given to many artists we would like to share with you The Art of David Brockie. Goodbye Oderus, thank you for all that you have given to the world.

To quote Margaret Atwood:
"All stories are about wolves. All worth repeating, that is. There's
escaping from the wolves, fighting the wolves, capturing the wolves,
taming the wolves. Being thrown to the wolves, or throwing others to the
wolves so the wolves will eat them instead of you. Running with the
wolf pack. Turning into a wolf. Best of all, turning into the head wolf.
No other decent stories exist."
