Oh man, Basil Wolverton could really draw, and I have always admired his oddball perspective. Fans of MAD Magazine will recognize his work. This poster for the Detroit Cobras was definitely influenced by his drawing style, especially in the hair. And that color blend I printed there is metallic silver to metallic gold/bronze, so it looks great when the light hits it right.

Art show this Saturday! Come look at weird art and have your eardrums massaged by The Burning of Rome and Satanic Puppeteer Orchestra. I will be showing prints and some newish paintings. Doors @ 7:00 Bands @ 8:00.

This print I’m calling “Everyone’s Happy When the Wizard Walks By” will be showing at the “Lyrically Speaking” group print show that will run in conjunction with the 2009 Independent Record Store Day. Come out to the show’s opening reception on Saturday, April 18, 2009, 6 – 9 pm if you are close to one of the following locations.
-Signed & Numbered/Slowtrain Records in Salt Lake City
-Size Records in Oklahoma City
-52.5 Records in Charleston, SC.
All of the venues are small, independently owned stores and this is a chance to pick up some cool art, or at least check out the eye-candy while browsing for music. 38 artists were asked to create a print based on song lyrics. I went with Black Sabbath.

I also did a small edition of this poster in blue. Check it out in the Art Prints Section.
**EDIT** Poster now available in the store.
