Megan Besmirched's Interests
General
My life revolves mainly around- My work as an art collector and historian:
researching about unknown pop artists of the 60's and 70's.
The rest of my days are spent catching up on
the paintings that I've promised,
and trying to finish my book.
<3 spontaneous dance parties.
<3 playing pinball in airports.
<3 getting random tattoos.
<3 my four chihuahuas
<3 lol cats
The perfect day: good coffee, huge flea market, eating messy food at the beach, dark lounge, many mai tais, and a bit of painting. Rinse and Repeat.
Also enjoy meeting other artists and assembling art shows and events.
Two of my projects have included THE TRUTH SHOW
and GO-GO ART SHOW. Always looking for other artists and venues to work with!
Music
I'm not a music snob. I love listening to AM radio early in the morning.
Going to shows has always been one of my favorite things
in the world. Jumping around and spilling
drinks on myself is pure awesomeness.
Movies
Zombies, Vampires, Possessed Kids and/or Haunted Houses are my favorite! Movies with cute talking animals...the world needs Babe III. "Bad girl" film noir.
And of course I can never turn off a John Hughes movie when it's on TV. Who doesn't love Breakfast Club? The standards: John Waters, David Lynch, Amy Heckerling, Allison Anders, Tim Burton. .... oh and a good old fashioned mobster movie even if I've seen it 50 times already.
Television
Yes, it rots yer brain. Blah Blah Blah. Love love love the show Ace of Cakes! Other shows like Project Runway. best new show: Pushing Daisies. The Mighty B! is the best animated show EVER.
Several more that I won't admit to.
Okay one.
The Hills
Don't judge me.
Books
Movie Star Biographies or anything about Hollywood's "glamorous" Golden era. It's impossible to get too much of Joan Crawford, right?
Lots of Mod. Home and Tattoo Magazines- books are too much of a commitment for me right now.
Heroes
That's an easy one! I am extremely fortunate to have so many people in my life who do what they love and lead charmed lives. Their friendships have made my life pretty dang amazing. I feel totally LUCKY to know my heroes!!!

besmirched.com chronicles some of my projects. Let's see, I was/am a publisher of an arty sort of zine I started in 94 called "Besmirched", hope to get another issue out before too long. Um...Painted stuff for shows in L.A./N.Y./S.F. etc.. and even a fancy museum in Laguna Beach California. Written articles for lots of collectors magazines and art mags like Juxtapoz and Hi Fructose. My collection of 60's sad eyed kids and animals has been seen on tv, mags, catalogs and museums in the U.S. and abroad. Seriously, my obsession for big eyed artwork is out of control . Some of which can be seen at bigeyedart.com.
I've been writing a book about the "Big-Eyed Masters" soon to be published by Last Gasp, which I hope will be completed shortly.
In my spare time I travel the country working tattoo conventions.
Oh, and recently fulfilled a life long dream of being in a band. Keep your eyes open in 2008 for Booze Hole. Only the coolest. band. ever.
