In the hands of a true artist like "Dirty" Donny Gillies, silkscreen prints become models of craftsmanship, with layer upon layer of vibrant colors and intricate detail packed into every square inch. His limited edition posters feature unusual and time-consuming techniques such as flocking and glow in the dark paint. "Dirty"
Donny grew up in Ottawa, Canada; he spent his youth skating, drawing and listening to punk and metal. He got his start designing album covers and posters for underground rock's best, but became most widely known for his work for rock legends Metallica. His art embraces the Lowbrow, rock and skate circles with projects ranging from toys, skateboard decks, and guitar picks for companies such as Vans, Fender, Dunlop and Kid Robot, to record cover and poster art for bands like The Groovie Ghoulies and Mudhoney. Experience it all in his first ever monograph, featuring commentary by Metallica and other "Dirty" Donny aficionados.
