Kreg Yengst has some cool pressings..

Janis Joplin super generic poster

2010-08-29T15:49:00.002-05:00

Yet another piece by Paul Wilm. Actually the first one I bought when I got started on this collection.

2010-08-29T15:45:00.005-05:00

A cool piece (one of a series of 10 or so Beatles songs) by Leoma Lovegrove from a Danish furniture store in Ft. Myers.

AC/DC Proofs by Pamelina H.

2010-08-29T15:45:00.004-05:00

Pamelina H. is very popular and in demand artist for tour posters, band tshirts, and everything else art wise for the rock and roll lifestyle. And the cost of her work shows her demand.

I wanted something original from her but couldn't afford anything, so on a lark I sent her an email asking if she had any sketches. Indeed she did and sent me these cool proofs for an AC/DC shirt. Angus is the focus of course, and the melding with the Grateful Dead style tie-dye look is pretty cool. There's also a handwritten note from a tour manager or something voicing approval.

Black Sabbath Original LP

2010-08-29T15:43:00.005-05:00

An original issue of their first album, in near mint condition given to me as a wedding gift By one of my old bandmates. On the label it says "Ossie Osbourne" is a member of the band.

Sketch by Jon Bon Jovi

2010-08-29T15:43:00.004-05:00

I got this from an online auction... it is a little sketch by Jon Bon Jovi himself. I wouldn't say I'm a fan so much, but the cheesiness was too much to resist and it give everything else a little more legitimacy.

Matisyahu by Joey Longoria

2010-08-29T15:42:00.002-05:00

Another Joey Longoria piece. I'm a fan :)

Ray Charles by Karen Bottle Capps

Got this i a little Memphis gallery. Karen Bottle Capps make art out of stuff she finds around the Mississippi River, and did a series of musicians, including this one.

Owl and the pussycat by Paul Wilm

2010-08-29T15:40:00.002-05:00

Hard to see (I know my camera skills suck) but this is pretty big piece that visualizes the poem "The Owl and the Pussycat." I asked Paul to do it for the birth of our daughter, and he did a great job.

Stone Temple Pilots Platinum Record

2010-08-29T15:39:00.002-05:00

I hear a bunch of these are given when a record goes platinum, like 50 or 100 or so. Still, it's really cool to have one for one of my favorite albums from the grunge era, Core from the Stone Temple Pilots, which still has a great edge to it. Got it at an auction. I googled the lady's name it was presented to, and she was a record producer for a few big artists in the 90s, including STP.

Ozzy Osbourne by Michelle Prahler

2010-08-29T15:32:00.001-05:00

The second piece I got from Michelle Prahler... it's bigger and looks really cool. Nearly everyone that sees it on my hard rock wall says they really like it.

Black Flag by Paul Wilm

2010-08-29T15:31:00.003-05:00

Paul is the shit... a grandmother with mohawk, safety pin earring, and black flag tshirt. What you can't see here, and is totally missable if you don't know it is there, is that her face has the entire lyrics to TV Party on it.

Kiss by Karen Bottle Capps

2010-08-29T15:28:00.002-05:00

Karen Bottle Capps loves her some Kiss. Made from stuff fished from the Mississippi River.

Tom Petty by Leigh Lynn

2010-08-29T15:24:00.002-05:00

Titled "Wildflower," this is a very heavy piece of concrete, custom fired tiles and pieces. Leigh Lynn's style is in quite a few installations in the Birmingham area.
