About The Artwork
This one was done back in 2012. It is the ULTIMATE tribute to Morrissey and The Smiths. It is dripping with references. I felt that Morrissey's somber lovelorn lyrics matched up well with the melodramatic imagery and themes of 1960's romance comics, so I decided to make a fictitious issue with Moz cast right in the center. The title of the series is Miserable Now, Morrissey's thought bubble reads "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me," the issue is titled "How Soon is Now" and right behind is head is a light that never goes out. Phew, that was a lot to jam pack into one tribute, but I think it works. It is silkscreened in black ink onto a silver painted canvas.

Alexander Key is an emerging contemporary artist from Charlotte, North Carolina. His work appropriates a wide variety of cultural ephemera, extracting familiar aesthetics and re-contextualizing them into new compositions that act as bittersweet commentaries. Mining from the resonance of childhood images and personal nostalgia, he explores the impact of these mental keepsakes on a broader collective memory. Working primarily in the medium of silkscreen printing, his work ranges from monotone prints to densely layered paintings. Please reach out if you are interested in showing his work or want to know more about his artistic practice.
