The Fine Art of Death
Artwork by Morbideus W. Goodell
The YCCC Library will exhibit the artwork of Wells artist Morbideus W. Goodell during the month of October. “Can Art be both beautiful and disturbing at the same time?”, the artist questions. Few are willing to stare into the abyss, so Morbideus has brought dark images back from the depths for the fun and amusement of all. Creating what he calls “The Fine Art of Death,” Morbideus’ muse is making images that he hopes others will appreciate in spite of themselves.
Former staff illustrator for Apex Horror & Science Fiction Magazine, Morbideus’ artwork has also appeared in several books, including the Stoker Award-winning “CRYPTOPEDIA: A Dictionary of the Weird, Strange, and Downright Bizarre” by Author Jonathan Maberry. His work was also featured on an episode of “Pimp my Ride” (titled “Pimpeando”) for MTv3. Morbideus (along with photographer-wife Dee) designs and sells T-shirts and prints through their company Postmortem Productions.
This exhibit is free and open to the public during regular Library hours, Monday – Thursday, 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. and Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, call Amber Tatnall, Library Director, 207-646-9282.

Morbideus has a vision like no one else in modern art. I love his work and have been honored to have it appear in my books.

Thanks John.
It was an honor to have my work in books by one of the most refreshing and original authors in Horror Literature today.
