About this product

Product Information

Jonathan Shaw's Scab Vendor: Confessions of a Tattoo Artist is a surreal, multi-generational roller coaster ride through the underbelly of modern culture, charting the course of a life measured by extremes, and all the people, places, and events that shaped that life into a survivor's tale of epic proportions. In its pages, Shaw takes the reader deep, not only into the recesses of his extraordinary mind and adventures, but also into the strange and magical process of memoir-writing itself. If truth is indeed stranger than fiction, then, as Shaw's friend and literary mentor Charles Bukowski once told him, much of this book would have to be lived before it could be written. In that sense, Scab Vendor: Confessions of a Tattoo Artist is much more than a fascinating chronicle of a popular outlaw artist's creative evolution. It is a multicolored, cinematic, modern-day Odyssey, written in blood, ink, and tears--a kaleidoscopic, visionary roadmap to the journey of the human soul.

Reviews
Praise for Narcisa: Our Lady of Ashes "Jonathan Shaw is the next Bukowski." -- Rolling Stone "A darkly hilarious litany of doomed love, drug addiction, compulsive sex and mutual enslavement..." -- VICE "The grunge of Bukowski [and] the teeth-grinding momentum of the Beats." -- Kirkus Reviews "Nightmarish talent . . . wedged between outlaw and genius . . . [with] serious street cred." -- New York Press "Shaw's work ranks with the best." --Johnny Depp "Jonathan Shaw is the great nightmare anti-hero of the new age." --Iggy Pop "Is he bitter? Oh, just a tad." --R. Crumb "Jonathan Shaw's writing is one hell of a wild ride through the bizarre netherworld of his own damaged consciousness." --Jim Jarmusch "Fearless storytelling." --Marilyn Manson "Written in blood, his writing takes us places most people never come back from." --Jerry Stahl "Jonathan Shaw's passionate descriptions of the surreal, paranoid jungle he inhabits capture the haunting poetry of his soul.'' --Hubert Selby, Jr. "To immerse ourselves in this bare-bones attitude is what a novel is supposed to do for the reader. Lucky us.'' --Debbie Harry Praise for Scab Vendor "Impossibly transportive. Scab Vendor smelled like rum, tobacco, and malaria. And I read it on a computer.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages. I’ll definitely make another purchase soon! Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
