This is a bag of Sandusky Reviews. More precisely, this is the pasted up masters and a stack of cardstock they’re gonna live on. After I make these artifacts I go through a pretty intense period of ambivalence—normally pride tinged with regret and embarrassment.
Things I like about this one: the AK-47 cover (each hand printed). The line I stole from my friend Lucas that opens the book and that I tried to make a little less bittersweet than it was when he wrote it. The drawing & lettering on the Gibson Explorer page.
The bad: the botched job I did on the Frankenstrat illustration. The Springsteen story. How uncomfortably personal some of it is.
Making art does not always feel good. But I am a rock and roll type person and that is just what we do.
