About the Horrible World of GlamNation-
Dennis Chow is a Toronto-based graphic designer and illustrator. The Horrible World of GlamNation is a collection of illustrative work dedicated to 1980's popular culture, comics, horror movies, the occult, the working class and the forgotten. Comprised of screen prints, photo copies and giclee prints, The Horrible World of GlamNation will be anything but horrible.

Artist Statement-
I am a popular culture junkie and I can't help it. In my head, there are archives and archives of useless knowledge; things such as popular television sitcoms, low budget music videos, unsuccessful corporate mascots, horror movies, local bikini pin-ups, fad products, teenage subcultures and tabloid media sensations- the list goes on and on.

It is quite obvious that my interest in these things manifest themselves within my artworks. I hope to show the viewer how these seemingly obscure and unimportant references have greatly influenced modern society.

About Dennis Chow-
Dennis Chow (aka GlamNation) is a Toronto-based visual artist. Having grown up in the 1980's, Chow has long been influenced by the many obscure aspects of popular culture. His work is heavily decorated with traces of humour, horror, raunch and attitude. The honesty of his subject matter is often praised as much as it is criticized, though the end result is always something that keeps the viewer interested. Dennis Chow's website can be seen here.
