Just a virtual filing cabinet of the things that amuse and interest me and by default you should appreciate too damn it.

Damn Another One

I could start an obituary column with all these artists dieing damn it....
It's artist like Alton Kelly or Rick Griffin who made album covers so wonderful. The art just doesn't translate the same on five inch square CD cases.
Legendary artist Alton Kelley created a graphic style that rocked the world beginning in the psychedelic Sixties. His concert posters, logo designs, LP album covers, and fine art have forevermore defined that time. Kelley, born June 17, 1940, passed away peacefully at home June 1st of complications from a long illness.
