25. Weirdo. Artist. Into: death, taxidermy, counterculture, obsessive love songs, extinct civilizations, dead musicians, urban decay [any kind of decay, really], and things of a homosexual nature. So, basically, please do not follow me if you can't deal with seeing a bunch of corpses and dicks all over your tumblr feed. Thanks!
i am 50% of the horror that is Morose & Macabre.

In remembrance of Koh Masaki, I decide to do another post on the book he did with photographer Leslie Kee, Super Pornstar.
7/20/83 - 5/18/13
Sad to hear about the passing of Koh Masaki! These photos are from the series that provoked the Tokyo Metropolitan Police to implement Japan’s vague, arcane “obscenity” law when they arrested art photographer Leslie Kee.
“The first art style that I identified with was Art Nouveau. Then I discovered Decadent Art (1850’s-era England), the Pre-Raphaelite movement: haunted, pale, druggy women. I read constantly. I was deep into Dostoyevsky and Dickens. Colette. The best are the writers that can turn a phrase devastatingly funny. The witticisms and bon mots of Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain, Truman Capote, Tennessee Williams, Dorothy Parker. Andy Warhol was a riot. That’s probably why I have captions in my paintings. I want the women in my paintings to speak.” -Niagara Detroit
