Everything That Creeps
The first collected work of the LA underground art world’s favorite wunderkind, Elizabeth McGrath. 112 pages of full-color photos and detail shots reveal the exquisitely complex details of her sweetly twisted creatures, giving a glimpse of what the City of Misfit Toys might have become had it been saved by Satan rather than Santa. Upon first viewing, McGrath’s colorful, mummified creatures are gothic oddities, but their undeniable artistry immediately draws one in, revealing their touching curiosities, transforming their grotesqueness into tortured beauty.

I love crazy, weird art and this one is no exception. Buy it for the crazy sculptures on the covedr and keep it for the scary rat type thing staring out on you in chapter four. Actually, they all look like scary rat type things....

UGH this book is so beautiful but it creates a violent rage inside of me because I know I'll likely never create something as darkly visceral as the stuff McGrath concocts. The pieces are stunning and the clever use of literally everything in the work is absolutely mind blowing.
