david eggers ii + murlin st. john = visionary nupop art that's rebel af
the spirit of warhol, bowie, iggy, mapplethorpe, lives in this epic collaboration from two of the bravest, boldest fucking artists around
long post but worth it
full disclosure, i had no idea who murlin st. john was until I got fascinated by indie king (and rebel art idol) david eggers ii in "station to station" and "infinite," and found those "cards of murlin" last year. you probably don't know him, either, but you should get to right now.
if you're looking around and losing hope watching america in it's authoritarian, anti-female, sex-negative, project 2025 era (yea, project 2025 literally, in writing, seeks to dissuade art by declaring it "porn" and making it illegal..already proposed as a bill in Oklahoma and coming to a red state near you) remember ART IS ALWAYS THE ANSWER.
murlin st. john's nudes (male and female) capture the range of everyday mundane to erotic and provocative. they are visionary, challenging, colorful, and surreal. they are diverse and body positive a powerful challenge to the status quo in that '70s and '80s tradition. it's rebel fucking art in the vein of warhol, bowie, iggy, and mapplethorpe and we need to support the shit out of it.
that's david's vibe, too, and the exact reason i'm a fan and they have several collaborations, with so many other beautiful and diverse bodies and concepts too. I fucking needed this and I know you did too.
