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!
