Cheyenne Gets Some Raccoon Debauchery!
Things could get weird down at Owl’s Saloon (aka, The Snake Charmer II“). This painting is headed for Cheyenne to join in the fun in the “New Frontiers” juried exhibition at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum. The actual opening for the exhibition isn’t until next March so check back for updates as the day gets nearer. Also, it’s still available for purchase if you want your own saloonscape; details can be found on the Art page.
MORE MUSIC, PLEASE.
Another album cover will be featuring David’s art later this summer. The Two Tracks have just wrapped up recording their new album in Nashville and they’ve asked to use “It’s A Complicated Life” on the cover. Can’t wait to see this and hear their new songs, check back for updates on when and where you can find this.
"GIDDY UP" GOES VINYL
David McDougall’s artwork is on the cover for Jenner Fox’s latest album “Good Luck Road” (that’s Jenner on the right, by the way). You can find the special vinyl edition (or the CD) here and, as a bonus, your own copy of “Giddy Up”. To listen to more of Jenner’s music, head on over to bandcamp.com; he’s really good.
