John Wayne Gacy: Serial Christmas Recipe - Killer Carols
My ex-best-friend was the first 'dealer' of the 'art' of John Wayne Gacy, prodding him to begin an endeavor which would rival Henry Ford if Henryt Ford had murdered several dozen boys and spent the last years of his life in prison painting copies of Walt Disney characters, Clowns and Neon Backed Elvis Heads (mine's bright orange). Rick Staton used to be a nice guy. I liked the fact that he was a mortician AND was as obsessive back in the day as I have turned out to be--always flittering from one submenu of the Grindhouse or other (in fact, Rick's Mail Order Co.--there was no Internet yet, was the first such company to bear the name 'Grindhouse Graphics', there have since been many imitators in his dotage).

Othere are many stories I could tell. I kinda wish I'd made the trip to visit JWG in Prison with Rick and my bandmate, Donald Spicer--if for no other reason than the polaroids they snapped (just think if there had been a social network back then. that would have taken the Facebook Profile Pic Prix de Prison Prize.)
However, not without my own stories am I. I'm proud to say that sometime in the '90s (hazy) I conceived, organized and promoted (if not first, Rick showed some Gacy's in Seattle with Tobias Allen the year previous) the "Death Row Art Show"

America is drawn to the macabre handiwork of the serial killer. From best sellers to movies and television, there is an insatiable appetite for serial killer related material. Enthusiasts have taken this fascination into reality, reaching out to the murderers through letters and visits, gathering artifacts of the crimes, and collecting serial killer art work. Filmed in the deep South, COLLECTORS journeys into this strange, compelling world to illuminate the outer limits of pop culture's fascination with murder and mayhem. COLLECTORS focuses on two of the country's premier serial killer enthusiasts. Rick Staton, a funeral director in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, has started many serial killers painting; he was the exclusive dealer of America's most notorious serial killer John Wayne Gacy. Staton's extensive collection includes art and artifacts from such notable serial killers as Charles Manson, Richard Ramirez and Henry Lee Lucas. Tobias Allen, also a collector, attained national exposure for creating a controversial serial killer board game, later banned in Canada. Together, Staton and Allen have curated several gallery shows of serial killer art work. COLLECTORS follows Staton and Allen on a road trip to Houston, Texas for the opening night of an art show by Elmer Wayne Henley, Houston's most notorious serial killer. In the early 1970's, Henley and partner in crime Dean Corll, carried out the sex murders of 27 children. Now serving multiple life sentences, Henley was encouraged to take up painting by Staton. COLLECTORS provides a rare interview with Henley. A major news event, the art show provoked protests from victim's friends and families. COLLECTORS documents the actions both the protesters and the buyers. Staton and Allen also visit the original crime scenes and spend time with Henley's mother. COLLECTORS elicits commentary from visionary artist and serial killer art collector Joe Coleman, who has been called "America's premier portraitist of sociopathic murderers" and '"the only major artist to receive a ringing endorsement from Charles Manson." Harold Schechter, a leading true crime writer and author of Deviant and The A to Z Encyclopedia of Serial Killers, provides a road map to the psychic bond between the serial killer and the collector. COLLECTORS is a unforgettable documentary experience. DVD includes- Interview with Director Julian P. Hobbs, Director/Producer commentary and an "easter egg" previewing Abject Films Ltd. next release. This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.
right at the New Orleans, French Quarter Art Gallery for which I held tenure as director of INSANITY (Barrister's Gallery was run by two ex-cons and a generous supply of stepped on Babania which smelled like Banana Peels and Vitamin C but which owner and co. insufflated like it were the fountain of youth--I preferred to be the Ponce De Leon of Dolophine among other phines).
Maybe I'll make this post into a 'serial' post, so that you're sure to revisit and learn about: What Did the Charitable Organization which I had the brilliant idea to approach and offer 15% of the Art Show's proceeds, say?
Does hydromorphone-everclear-methamphetamine go with Serial Killer Art?
And what did Joe Coleman do when I attacked a would-be shoplifter of one of his books with a 12" long Hunting Knife like an overly amped kamikaze pilot for his reward?
check back when you see the serial killer imprimatur for these and other tales of the art business and me.
