Last year I whipped up a quick little cover for a two volume anthology comic from Plot Twist Publishing called Impressions.

The anthology features creators from the Las Vegas valley and tales connected by a captivating portrait.

“HAVE YOU EVER BEEN LURED BY BEAUTY? A painting hangs on a wall in a gallery. A beautiful woman with hair spun of gold... No matter her form, for those that look hard enough she is exactly what they need in that painful or joyous moment. Art can change people, and sometimes people can change the course of their lives. And if lucky, the world too.”

Song Of The Day : Eunice Collins - "At The Hotel"

This almost discomfortingly intimate song from 1974 is about as low-fi as R&B ever got. I couldn't find a scrap of information about Eunice Collins, and "At The Hotel" appears to be the only record she ever made, according to Discogs. I found scant info about the label, Mod-Art, from a DJ named Dustin Drase. Mod-Art was based in Chicago, existed from 1973 to 1975 and issued a handful of funk albums and singles. At least a few of them are seeing the light of day on YouTube. There are some days, even with its rich legacy of crass video commentary, stupid pet tricks and various humans subject to blows to the crotch, that I love YouTube.
