Late days filled with long orange light. Tender grasses bending in the leaf rattled wind. Geese echoing thinly across distant harvest fields. Sweaters. A hot cup of tea, and . . . *&^@#%^ . . . WHAT ? ? ? ! ! !
Sigh . . . it was going to be such a nice fall . . . if it wasn't for those -
DAMNED ROCK & ROLL KIDS ! ! ! !
O.K. - So this is a poster I just designed, and executed for a 'Rockabilly' festival happening this month in Midland. I was approached by 'Honky - Tonk - Mike' to do it. And I dont think I've ever had a more interesting pitch than his - "James, I got a project here . . . right down your alley - think : half naked women, skulls, Rockabilly, hair grease, The Cramps, snakes, Halloween, motorcycles, Devils, etc - what'da ya think ???" 'Ummmm . . . . OF COURSE !!!'.

My expression said everything : "RRRAAAHHHHHHH !!!"
I was TOTALLY into it.
Mike has a great love for Rockabilly and Psychobilly music. He and his group of conspirators have brought numerous bands to the area for the last 10 years, and I hope they continue to do so for a long, long time. Rebels without a cause ? I think not.
These kids want to ROCK ! ! !
