West Los Angeles, CA – Josh Moscov, a
writer, publicist, drummer and aspiring artist influenced by the works
of William S. Burroughs, has created an online gallery of works,
dedicated to this infamous artist. The online gallery can be viewed at:

art community with a mission of providing a destination for artists of
all kinds to express themselves. (www.deviantart.com)
"I had searched the Internet to find a cool community to publish my
works," Moscov said. "I've been working on this art for some time and
have been a Burroughs fan since college when I read Naked Lunch," he
continued.. "At first, I was just intrigued by Burroughs' sheer
audacity to publish such intense thoughts and imagery. Then, after
several more reads and some explanation, via scholarly articles, on
him, I realized that it was a parody. After that, I had the opportunity
to see an art exhibit of his called "Ports Of Entry", and it completely
changed my perspective on all the arts."
Moscovs' works include cut-ups, montage and collage of many
different types of images, ranging in subject matter from Burroughs
himself, war, Egyptian Religion, and other themes. Moscov's main
theory, which he learned from Burroughs: "Everything is permitted," a
famous quote from the King of the Beats himself.
"As many writers and artists who study Burroughs know, it's common
knowledge that the Beat Generation was led by him," Moscov continued.
"There quite possibly would never have been books like On The Road by
Jack Kerouac, who was a very close friend of Burroughs," Moscov
continued. "He's a true legend and it's only in the last decade that
he's really getting the recognition he deserves."
In addition to his art, Moscov employs Burroughs' artistic strategies in much of his music and writing as well.
