Feature Artist – Book Release - DIRTY DONNY

"Dirty" Donny Gillies grew up in Ottawa Canada skating, drawing and listening to punk and Metal. He cut his artist teeth razor blade sharp designing album covers and posters for underground rocks best. These
days Donny resides in San Francisco California as a full time artist. There really isn't anything Donny hasn't painted on or done work for. His art is spread wide across Lowbrow, rock and skate circles with projects ranging from Toys and decks to paintings, hot rods and record cover art for companies like Vans, Fender and Dunlop. You can bet while your reading this Donny is painting on something somewhere.
In the hands of an artist like “Dirty” Donny Gillies, silkscreen prints become
models of craftsmanship, with layer upon layer of vibrant colors and intricate
detail. Monster Revolt embodies this dedication and is crammed with hundreds of
images documenting his work to date. The book features; one-of-a-kind pinball
machines, skateboard decks, guitar picks, limited edition posters for bands such as
The Hellacopters, Queens of the Stone Age, Groovie Ghoulies, Mudhoney, stickers,
paintings, album covers, an entire chapter on his work for Metallica, and tons more.
Experience it all in his first ever monograph, featuring commentary by Metallica’s
James Hetfield, Steve Caballero, Frank Kozik and other “Dirty” Donny aficionados.

I would like to be considered for any and all future comic themed exhibitions. I've drawn 7 graphic novels as well as an ever increasing number of comic strips. I'm also funny looking and moderately well groomed.
