A little doodle i did for Halloween.
Inspired by early 20st Century’s costumes as documented in Ossian Brown’s beautiful book “Haunted Air” and as often featured in my friend’s account @put_your_maskara_on both of which I strongly recommend.
Have fun tonight! 🎃#halloween2015 #OssiaBrown #hauntedair #illustration #penandink #creepy #spooky #halloween
Honky Tonk Hero N.6: The Grievous Angel.
From the song “Return of the Grievous Angel”.
–
By Gram Parsons, 1973.

“Don’t you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich and welcome me back to town, come out on your porch or I’ll step into your parlour and I’ll show you how it all went down. Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels, and a good saloon in every single town.
–
And I remember something you once told me and I’ll be damned if it did not come true. Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down and they all lead me straight back home to you. ‘Cause I headed West to grow up with the country, across those prairies with the waves of grain and I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea, and I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee.
–
We flew straight across that river bridge, last night half past two
The switch-man wave his lantern goodbye and good day as we went roling through. Billboards and truck stops pass by the Grievous Angel and now I know just what I have to do.
–
And the man on the radio won’t leave me alone he wants to take my money for something that I’ve never been shown.
The news I could bring I met up with the king on his head an amphetamine crown, he talked about unbuckling that old bible belt and lighted out for some desert town.”

just found my friends @graveyardmusic here, so let’s have a little #throwbackthursday to years ago when I designed their voodoo-ish European Tour shirt. 🎸
