Scorched Art - The Incredible Aesthetic Of Flame Rite Zippo 104, kovakantinen, sivua.

Tom Hazelmyer

For almost a decade, the radical art group Flame Rite has been producing Zippo lighters featuring the work of prominent comic artists. These "miniature billboards" that normally display a corporate logo have been reinvented as witty pop-art confections. Charles Burnss ominous Smoking Skull, Daniel Clowess creepy-comic Eightball, Big Daddy Roths wacky Rat Fink, the fabulous retroisms of Niagaras All Girls Are Bad and Shags Ooguh Booguh all these and more (130 total) are on lurid display. The book includes the work of more than 30 prominent artists including R. Crumb, Daniel Clowes, and Shag, exclusive, previously unpublished art from 20 artists in the Flame Rite lineup, and every "metal canvas" that Flame Rite Zippo produced, featuring rare and out-of-print models.
