A Video Tribute to Chris Mars

Youtube surfing for weird artists yielded this excellent video tribute to Chris Mars. Mars, a personal favorite of mine who I've mentioned here previously, may be on the cusp of achieving the wider recognition he deserves among admirers of art--weird or otherwise. An increasing internet presence, coupled with the release last summer of a new art book called Tolerance, has made Mars some visible strives forward in recognition. Better yet, the artist himself seems to be enjoying a renewed round of exhibitions and personal appearances at book signing featuring his work. If you have yet to be introduced to the cunning mutations and gloomy nightmarishness of Mars' world, then this video will serve as a fine overview.
