The Artful Home: Marci Washington at Tiny Showcase

I'm excited to see work from one of my favorite local artists, Marci Washington, as this week's print release at Tiny Showcase. The clever scribes behind Tiny Showcase say, "If Wuthering Heights had included more decapitation, if Jane Eyre had met a cannibal, if The Turn of the Screw had cranked up the lust, if you smashed any epic and romantic social commentary novel into any haunting ghostly horror film, you are beginning to understand the territory that Marci treads." I can't put it better than that, folks.

Tiny Showcase is offering Washington's exquisitely creepy "The Coming Darkness" (top) and "The Cannibal in His Chamber" (above) as a limited-edition diptych. It goes on sale for $40 right here at 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time Tuesday, June 10.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the San Francisco SPCA, from which Washington and her S.O., artist Deth P. Sun, adopted the dashing Mr. Thor.
