#4. Pecker John Waters spot-on satire of the New York art scene

To coincide with the forthcoming paperback edition of his art-noir novel Mickey The Mimic published by Disco City Books in July, Kirk Lake selects his top five made-up film artists.

1. The Rebel - Tony Hancock's masterful portrayal of a deluded artist. Should be required viewing at all art colleges.

2. Cellar Dweller - In an artists' colony a comic book plagiarist unleashes a beast. Classic 1980s no-frills/ limited skills VHS era horror.

3. Zandalee - "BLACK IT ALL OUT!" - Ludicrous erotic thriller with Nicholas Cage as unconvincing as an artist as his wig is as hair.

4. Pecker - John Waters spot-on satire of the New York art scene.

5. A Bucket of Blood - Roger Corman goes beatnik.

Mickey The Mimic is published in paperback on July 4 by Disco City Books.

HELP OUTSIDELEFT

Outsideleft exists on a precarious no budget budget. We are interested in hearing from deep and deeper pocket types willing to underwrite our cultural vulture activity. We're not so interested in plastering your product all over our stories, but something more subtle and dignified for all parties concerned. Contact us and let's talk. [HELP OUTSIDELEFT]

WRITE FOR OUTSIDELEFT

If Outsideleft had arms they would always be wide open and welcoming to new writers and new ideas. If you've got something to say, something a small dank corner of the world needs to know about, a poem to publish, a book review, a short story, if you love music or the arts or anything else, write something about it and send it along. Of course we don't have anything as conformist as a budget here. But we'd love to see what you can do. Write for Outsideleft, do. [SUBMISSIONS FORM HERE]
