Jerome Deppe and Gentlemen Oscura

Jerome is an independent visual and performing artist based in Baltimore Maryland. He has enjoyed success and acclaim with his traveling exhibit The Stations of the Cross, a controversial photographic rendition of the passion and death of Christ that debuted 15 years before Mel Gibson's epic film was ever viewed. Musically, Jerome has continued his collaborative relationship with David E.Williams since 1990 as well as performing with David and the late Rozz Williams in the now notorious Dark Harvest II event (Accept the Gift of Sin-Hollow Hills records).He released his first solo recording The Absence of Light on Old Europa Cafe AVS based in Pordenone Italy. Jerome has continued making art and music despite an ever declining interest in intelligent, original musical works here in the United States. "Showtunes for the Damned" is now complete and has been released as a graphic novel with musical accompaniment by subterranean Press. "Sad ugly songs about sad ugly people" is currently being recorded and preparations are being made for live performances featuring songs from recent projects.
