Death Is Not the End: The Work of Alexander Heir (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781736146965)

"A collection of work that so fully breathes this history of forgotten subversion." - Mike Hunchback

"Death Is Not The End" is a collection of illustrations by acclaimed Brooklyn-based underground punk artist Alexander Heir. With images of other-worldly beings, tattooed human bodies, depictions of various anatomies and some of Heir's commissioned work, the book offers a morbid insight into Alexander's creative vision and mind. A reissue of the original title of the same name, this edition is offered as a hardback book, perfect for art collectors, and punks looking for a keepsake of the subversive underground culture found in and around New York.

Alexander Heir's art has all the prominent elements of 50 years' worth of subversive underground culture. Somewhere between Garbage Pail Kids and Tom of Finland, this is the kind of art that gets kids in trouble with their parents. Heir's morbidity, which is blended with a sick humorous quality, has a penchant for the bizarre, taboo, and a raw, physical compulsion has allowed him to achieve such delightfully confounding imagery. Referencing an eclectic cache of dark symbols in his unapologetically graphic style, he has created a stunning and recognizable collection of work.
