Gorker’s very own Nate Holmes Trapnell is featured in the next Gorker Gallery show.  Nate’s illustrations are created with a fine liner in a comic-book style. This time round prepare to be acquainted with some bad ass bowling alley scum bags.

If you haven’t been to a Gorker exhibition opening night, you can expect good things. The These guys know how to celebrate talented artists and show visitors a fine time with free booze, good tunes and of course high-quality work…

Where are these illustrations from?…

“The King Pin bowling alley is found just north of No-where, take a left at Lost and follow the old dusty track all the way to the end. It’s a meeting place for spooky little hollow eyed characters, sporting full sleeve tattoos and bad habits. These cheeky little bowlers spend eternity knocking down pins, sucking on cigarettes, guzzling beers and laughing hysterically at their own jokes. Their twisted senses of humor are reflected in their bowling team names like the ‘Pin Ponies’ and the ‘Slippery Chickens’. Their cars are chopped, dropped and cranked into beasts of darkness, epitomized by their hood ornaments. The air is filled with enough exhaust fumes, fuel vapor and second hand smoke that you can almost smell it seeping from the paper.

Come to Gorker Gallery and experience the world of the alley, a world hidden away in the shadows of its surroundings, with no day or night, just an eerie underlying feeling that its dark out there.” – Gorker Gallery
