Erik Parker

This book targets fans of the Pop Surrealist Erik Parker, whose following is varied and deep: from his underground skater culture fans to the highest arbiters of style, like Paris' Colette.

This is the first book to publish Erik Parker's work, and showcases his high-profile 15-year career, published in conjunction with the Aldritch Museum's July 2012 exhibition. While he has deep roots in alternative comics, illustration, and graffiti, his body of work successfully bridges that underground culture and the ever-growing Pop-Surrealism movement. His art presents and documents a timely, poignant,and thoroughly critical overview of the obscure political dynamics of the USA and the world, but is condensed in a playful, vibrant tableaux.

This book is a comprehensive monograph of the irreverent artist Erik Parker and all art is previously unpublished. Profiling more than 250 of his works, this book also contains an interview of Parker by his good friend, and celebrated artist, Kaws (Brian Donnelly).
