Toadies - "Quitter" From the album Rubberneck (August 23, 1994)

Last song scrobbled from iTunes at Last.fm

RIP-ROARIN' OUTTA TUSLA, OKLAHOMA IN '94.

PICS INFO: Mega spotlight on assorted art print and/or poster designs for American rockabilly/ psychobilly band, THE REVEREND HORTON HEAT, with bands TOADIES and TENDERLOIN supporting, performing live at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA, on December 30, 1994. Artwork by Chris "Coop" Cooper.

THE JALOPY JOURNAL: "At some point your art carried over to the hot rod culture. I can’t really remember when or how that transition was made. It just seemed like one day you were every where. How did it all come about?

COOP: "I’m not really sure.. that imagery was always an influence and part of my work, and I think other car guys who were my age, and dug the same stuff, just sorta latched on to it. One of the first pieces of merch that I did for myself was waterslide decals, because I wanted some for my '50 Ford!

One interesting thing about the devil girl stuff; sometimes people ask why I don’t draw angel girls, which I guess would make a certain amount of sense. The truth is, I don’t think of the devil girls as representing one-half of a duality, a good/evil thing. To me, the devil imagery represents hedonism and indulgence, living in the moment, relishing excitement and danger, enjoying what the world has to offer today, instead of living in denial in hopes of a reward in the afterlife. I think that’s one reason why hot rodders and bikers gravitate to these images."
