UPDATE - Due to popular demand, this image is now available for download. Please link my website if you post it anywhere - thank you!BRAND NEW Updated AUGUST 29, 0211 - Tweaked the lighting, a couple things...
The piece has come a long looong way since i first did pencils for it for Royal Flush Magazine #3. Really diggin it now, so much so that I've made 11x17" PRINTS available at my newly opened Etsy shop. Check it out here!

Funny note - I think the skeleton closest to the middle reminds me of the skeleton from the 80s animated movie "The Last Unicorn", that one who keeps asking for wine.
The MISFITS
A lyric from the song "Bullet" - "Texas is the Reason" became the name of my friend's band.
From Wikipedia:
The music of the original Misfits was often melodic, featuring Danzig's versatile singing, which had a style rooted in Italian tenors such as Mario Lanza and in 1950s doo-wop. Early Misfits songs tended to have infectious, sing-along choruses, initially backed by Danzig's distorted keyboard accompaniments and later by willfully crude guitar-rock. The band began as a largely untrained ensemble. Musically, the band has also displayed some rockabilly influences (but not as much as psychobilly bands). After several line-up changes and increasing international acclaim, Danzig disbanded the original Misfits in 1983.
The band often wore ghoulish makeup when performing, and bassist Jerry Only reputedly invented a hairstyle called the devilock, with the bangs coming to a point in front of the nose or chin, a style still worn by fans (self-described "fiends") today.
Oh yeah, this band effin' RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So many good tunes!

The incredible established image that portrays the fiends and the sound as true as it can possibly become upon notice. Allows the ghouls to step out of the shadows; unveil the ghosts behind the curtain; and here, allow the skeletons long since of demise to arise from their silence beneath the grave. This is incredible!
