James Victore is a dinner plate pirate. Spontaneously hijacking
unsuspecting porcelain with a fat black paint pen, he marks his bounty
with drawings of skulls and birds and fish (dead ones). And he's not
above the occasional slogan, either. "Vagina is for lovers," anybody?

Now Instigator presents James Victore's DIRTY DISHES.
The first authoritative collection of his dinner plate oeuvre.
100 pieces, 100 ideas, 100 acts of dining disobedience.

What drives a a graphic designer / illustrator / raconteur
with a widely recognized body of work to start tagging plates in
public? What else? "I love the look and feel of a marker on
the off-white plate surface, but I used to make them to meet girls."
He also used his plate drawings to entertain friends and waiters.
Or should that be buy off waiters? "I thought they would be
mad if they caught me, but they usually wanted one." Each one
of Victore's plates is done with its recipient in mind. "I love
to give people things and make art that is uniquely for them."
Please join us to celebrate James Victore's Dirty Dishes.
