This drawing is the back of the new ALLEGED BRICKS/THE BARONS CD I drew for them from a variety of sources. Notice the Wilmington skyline on one side (that's where The Barons are from) and the DC skyline on the other (ALLEGED BRICKS' hometown). The skinheads and clothes are sort of a throwback to earlier eras, but I like the feeling of the punk rock community on their street. And the humble fellow observing the scene is kind of wondering which way to go: Should he return back with his skinhead homies or chat with the ladies who seem to be more interested in the punk rockers? I guess we can all write our own scenario. Life looks like fun in Punkrockville! Although the Delaware Memorial Bridge does not take you directly to Washington, D.C., there is a pretty big link between our nation's capital and the Wilmington music scene. Minor Threat's DIY ethic lives on in many bands and local lables like Neck Records. The Bad Brains still interest me to no end. These connections between these cities and people carry the lifeblood of music and culture that makes my tiny spot in the vast Eastern sprawl an interesting place to be these days.
