"Visual Abuse" collects the halcyon days of illustrator and cartoonist Jim Blanchard, whose work from 1982-2002 intersected with punk rock, grunge, psychedelia, alternative comics, "zine" culture, portraiture, and "girlie art". This overdue compendium gathers Blanchard's different eras and disparate art styles into a cohesive whole. "Visual Abuse" assembles the best of Blanchard's rock LP covers, posters and flyers, obsessive psychedelic art, bizarre sociopathic comics, exquisitely detailed pop culture portraits, twisted "glamour girl" art, and some tongue-waggin', eyeball poppin' freaks!
