<p><b>“<i>A collection of work that so fully breathes this history of forgotten subversion.</i>” - Mike Hunchback</b></p><p>“<i>Death Is Not The End</i>” is a collection of illustrations by acclaimed Brooklyn-based underground punk artist <b>Alexander Heir</b>. 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. </p><p>Alexander Heir’s art has all the prominent elements of 50 years’ worth of subversive underground culture. Somewhere between <b>Garbage Pail Kids </b>and <b>Tom of Finland</b>, 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.</p><p><i>Key features of this book are:</i></p><ul><li>Reprint of Alexander Heir’s first collection of work, and first ever Sacred Bones Books title</li><li>Each hardback copy is shrink wrapped </li><li>Each book comes with a unique vinyl sticker sheet of 6 discombobulated heads</li><li>Contains infamously morbid punk illustrations and artwork</li></ul>
