Concussion

Long a mainstay in the Lowbrow art world, The Pizz has an iconic value almost as high as that of his artwork. With shaven head, porkpie hat, dark glasses and a thicket of beard jutting in several directions beneath his chin, he cuts a familiar figure at openings and other gala events. His paintings are replete with an eye-popping assortment of pinups, pimps, perverts, pirates, post-apocalyptic demigods, junkies, tweakers, beatniks, murderers, motorcycles, monsters, fascists, fast cars and faster women. The energetic figures and shapes, rimmed always with Pizz's signature crisp black line, bulge and thrust, straining (and occasionally succeeding) to burst out of the frames that contain them. As The Pizz would say, this is definitely not girly-handed art.--From publisher description.
