Still Sick

A cross-hatching nightmare version of Bal's cover art for Rockabilly Psychosis & the Garage Disease. Worked on occasionally over the past year or two between tattoos.

One of my favorite comps that still sounds just as good 25 years later. In the years following my purchase of this record I would get to see the Cramps, Gun Club and Meteorhead, live. In 1994, Gary Burns and I were putting a band together with Grant of the Geezers, we joined Deadbolt instead, as "the Wall of Thunder", replacing departed bassist R.A. MacLean with a bass duo. Playing with Deadbolt gave me the honor of sharing the stage the Cramps, Guana Batz, the reformed Geezers, the Legendary Stardust Cowboy and the late, great Hasil Adkins.

Here we have one of the first in a series of rock 'n' roll watercolors.

I haven't painted in a few years so we'll see how many I can get done.

Just one of the many new prints and originals I will have for sale at my Etsy shop, EarnhartArt.

Watch out for upcoming posts of the new useless art I've been doing.

We have finished our move but I haven't gotten around to setting up the scanner or finding the boxes of drawings. Until then, I will be working on my tattoo photos blog.

OUTSIDERS

Chris Earnhart 2010

One of my favorite bands. I first heard their music through the Tell-Tale Hearts in 1984 then the Pebbles' The Continent Lashes Back comps. In the early 90's I recieved a cassette of the early singles and self-titled debut lp from Mr. Ron Swart, who supplied the tunes for the original Pebbles comps. Thanks, Ron.

Their amazing second album, CQ can heard at http://psychedelic-rocknroll.blogspot.com/

CQ is really an over-looked masterpiece of the psychedelic era.

You also can't go wrong with the singles collection, Strange Things Are Happening.
