REVEREND HORTON HEAT
Interesting facts about this poster and how it made me so happy I cried....
At first, the record label refused to let us use the poster for promotional material. They only allowed their in-house artists to make promotional materials, which is understandable. But the only poster that was sent to the bar was one for the Brains and one for The Real McKenzies. And (obviously) this one was far superior!! So I got some really nice copies made, and had the promoter speak to the Rev and ask if I could sell them at the door and give the band 50% of proceeds. He said I could keep all the money, as long as the band each got a copy for themselves. I sold a shit load of posters, got to keep all the money, and at the end of the night, I hung out with the band a little and they just gave me so many compliments on my work. Jimbo held my hand and, in his southern drawl, said "You've got a real talent there, darlin'" and then my heart exploded. The Rev was the same way, told me he loved my work and thanked me for the poster! HEART THROB - I love those guys. Then, a well known pal in the Hamilton music scene sent me a message and asked to buy the original and I told him I had a sentimental attachment to it, and he offered to buy it at a price I cannot mention but basically, yeah... it's sold. I miss it. It's on a nice thick watercolour paper, the colours and details are vibrant. *sigh* (Another cool fact, the guy who bought it was offered an extra $200 for it but he said no. This happened in front of me, so I know it's fact!)
