THE ARM, Feb 8, 2008 - the WINTER SUN performance begins, it was actually pretty good and really an up-dated 'blues' rendition, I guess, based on an archival recording by . . .

JOHNNY ACE - the blues singer & proverbial 'son of a preacher', from MEMPHIS, Tennessee, who definitely lived fast & died young, just 25 (1929-1954) - he made his music in the early 50s. see: JOHNNY ACE

generally speaking, the more realistic elements, like the man's face, above, are David Herman Dune's hand - while the more cartoonish caricatures, like the girls, above; and the way-out lettering, belong to JULIEN LANGENDORFF'S touch.

the sharp linear flat, limited palette, & repetitive graphics reminded us of MATT LEINES' work.

P.S. if you think getting picked up for spray painting graffiti - is a minor offense - get this - MATTHEW FEYLD, a CANADIAN, can't cross the border into the US - ever !! - because of an old graffiti infraction from his youth !!! THINK ABOUT IT.
