A Postcard from Oblivian

Clutch @ the Newport
So after being a little disenchanted with Clutch's last outing, I am looking forward to this here play date with Doom/Punk axe wielding god, Wino. Clutch has dropped the blues, or made it less obvious and have promised a return to rock...now I really liked the bluesy/organ driven Clutch. That raw dusty dumptruck blues sounds fit them, oh well, I reckon I was in the minority, so we will see! Anyway, I have it on good word that the fine folks at the Newport will be using this one.

So yeah, it's been awhile since I have done this blogger thing. Anyway, after seeing Clutch for the umpteenth million time and leaving the show a little jaded, jilted, and a bit inspired I finally had a second to paint on the 2nd and cranked out these five portraits. Each took under the length of your average Clutch album. These are some of the hardcore fans I had the pleasure of sharing my immediate space with nestled behind the sound man. Oh yeah, for you nonclutch-o-philes, Gnome Enthusiast is a song title from Clutch's Jam Room album, great song, great album!
Bright Moments!!
