Dirty Donny Must Be Destroyed: The Art of Donny Gillies HC

Dirty Donny Must Be Destroyed celebrates the renegade spirit and art of Donny Gillies, better known as Dirty Donny—a singular force in punk, rock-and-roll, and heavy-metal visual culture. For decades, Donny’s visceral, blacklight-charged style has leapt off skate decks, album covers, hot rods, posters, and full-scale pinball machines, earning him collaborations with major brands and bands and a reputation as a go-to artist for anything that needs attitude and heat. This volume opens Donny’s studio door wider than ever: unpublished pieces, rare rock posters, prints, custom and production pinball machines, as well as automotive finishes on drums, helmets, cars, and guitars sit alongside candid essays and interview-style narration that read like a straight-up conversation with the man himself. This comprehensive book also includes 4 fold-out gatefold images of art pieces and dozens of pieces featured in neon ink. Diving into the last decade while also curating the best work of his career, Dirty Donny Must Be Destroyed functions as both an art-book treasure trove and an oral history—“the big book of Donny,” as he calls it—giving fans new context for the images they’ve loved and collectors the kind of behind-the-scenes detail they crave. This is truly a must-have for both Dirty Donny and art fans alike.
