CULTURE: Elizabeth McGrath's "Altarwise by Owl-Light"

Billy Shire Fine Arts in LA is home to a new art show featuring Elizabeth McGrath's latest group of freak friends: "Altarwise by Owl-Light." The exhibit stars a tattooed giraffe named "Jerry," the two-headed dogs of "The Black Madonna," and Miss Henrietta Hammerhead the "Quinceanera." Everything That Creeps, a book of McGrath's art, will be published by Last Gasp in January of 2006.

she's pretty amazing. i often wonder about the 'animals' though. they look like de-furred taxidermy.

very cool... this is right down the street from work.
its quite amazing

wander into the back of the gallery where they store stuff, there are several of her older pieces there as well... and for a real treat, over by my place is a store called "Rosemarry's Billygoat" just west a few doors on Sunset where it meets Hollywood and Hillhurst.
the place is like a Brothers Quay/Tool Video and sells cloths and creepy stuff... well, they have one of Liz's lil goat sculptures

go see it, its very cool
