John Wayne Gacy Memorabilia Guys Still Creepy

A Las Vegas gallery hosting an exhibition of the artwork of the late serial killer John Wayne Gacy is creating an uproar. Gallery reps said they intended to donate proceeds from any sales of Gacy's artwork to the National Center for Victims of Crime, but the center wants nothing to do with it and even sent the gallery a cease-and-desist letter to the gallery demaning they remove NCVC from any marketing.

That there's a market for Gacy's artwork is nothing new. DIY promoter and area native Shane Bugbee has made a career out of promoting the extreme. Bugbee once became an agent of Gacy's artwork and personal effects, and even published his bio A Question of Doubt. Then there's this video from WGN TV that focuses on a Lakeview man who also is in the Gacy Art business.
