The 60s by Jess Kirby
This is what I imagine the 60s were like. Debutantes fighting off stinky hippies. Not really, but I thought it was kinda funny. Inger Stevens was the inspiration for the feisty deb and Luke Perry was the inspiration for the hippy. No, really. The episode of 90210 when Brenda found the diary and they all role played....I've said too much.

60s Hunter S Thompson
To me the 60s will always be Hunter S Thompson, The Beatles, Hippies, Vietnam, Golden Age of Rock and Peace Signs. But mostly Hunter S Thompson. The journalist taking it all on. And Nixon. Pure Gonzo Journalism, buying the ticket, taking the ride. Shit, why not man? Let us ride this strange torpedo all the way to the end.

My cover of the cover to Dylan's "Blonde on Blonde." Drawn on my iPad, using Paper. It looked better before it went electric.

Stirba the Werewolf Queen by Michael Powell
Not the best Sybil Danning likeness, but there you have it. The Howling ii is not a good movie. It's actually quite cheesy. And yet I still love it after all these years. It scared the dog shit out of me when I first saw it when I was 9 or 10. It was on cable and edited all to hell, so it was ok for me to watch it. The original version is fraught with werewolf orgies, gratuitious violence, and all the gore you could ask for. Not to mention a catchy soundtrack.

Eddie, Not, Vic by Jess Kirby
Unfortunately I didn't get to finish this, but I thought I'd post what I have done so far. Especially since I have no idea when I'll find the time to finish. Interestingly enough I watched a documentary on Iron Maiden and they were going to perform somewhere in India. They were interviewing the fans there and a lot of them admitted that they'd never heard of Iron Maiden, but they saw their CD's and loved the album artwork and bought the CD's solely based on that. Evidently they enjoyed the music enough, and why shouldn't they, to go to a concert. I love that it helps prove the point that good art is still important.

A picture with a lot of metaphore and a lot of 'just capturing the feeling i get from great stoner rock songs with a lot of 'umph' and a lot of 'momentum' and cranking guitars and drums. Lizards should practice dodging all the desert cruisers better...
