Aftermath
On December 8, 2008, a memorial benefit at the Dragonfly in Los Angeles, featured Gein’s art and an array of friends and fans performing in his honor. The guest list included Ego Plum, Kim Fowley, ex Courtney Love, guitarist Lisa Leveridge, Jessicka, Allen Wrench, Lenora Claire, Courtney Cruz, Ramzi Abed, Brian Clark (co-founder of UnPop art movement to which Gein belonged), Bill Shafer of Hayena Gallery,(his art representative),Damian Crowley, Hollie Stevens, and drag queens Squeaky Blonde and Fade-Dra. Funds raised from the gathering will buy Gein a memorial plaque at Hollywood Forever cemetery (his ashes are with his mother in Florida, his homestate).
A commemorative tribute was filmed on October 9, 2010 at the horror convention 'Spooky Empire', based in Orlando, Florida. Participants included Al B. Romano, Billy Baker, Parris Mayhew, Mike Merryfield, CC Manded and Petey Mongelli. The 9-part compendium was filmed by the Film Director/Artist/Musician Cynosure and is respectively owned by Cynosure Enterprises. The film closes with Gein's memorial plaque, embellished with the slogan, 'Luv is GG'.
