Not to be all boring "spooky" Friday theMc13th on you (btw this configuration of days/dates happens only once every 11 years, so maybe you can convince yourself it's somehow "special," though again, ultimately, who really gives a fuck?) but we thought we should let you know about Hallow, an opening of Mark McCoy's drawings of haunted-looking houses and rotting corpses at Hope gallery. It's a bunch of his ink depicting things decomposing and transmutating (see how those falling-apart boards seem to form a rune? eh?), plus the release of a soundtrack that'll make you want to kill yourself. It promises to be a real mood-lifter of an event. You should totally go.
Wow the decomposing houses are amazing, the level of detail involved is sweet. wish i could make it over for this opening.

the middle one looks kind of like the old broken angel house in clinton hill. sucks they tore that place down.

thats pretty sweet. I wonder if McCoy was molested by a house growing up.

"a soundtrack that'll make you want to kill yourself." - this sounds like a show that must not be missed.

these drawings are incredible. The houses almost look like photographs they're so detaled
