The Half-Tones at the Society of Illustrators

Please mark your calendars.You'll not want to miss this one. Great art, great music, great company, hell, my back hairs are on end just thinking about it. . A number of us are coming down a day early so we can hit the MoMa at opening time on Thursday the 7th. All Drawgers invited. Let's do it en masse!

Here's a sketch Leo did of The Halftones when we played at the Illo Conference in Philadelphia. Unfortunately, Leo's use of red wine as a wash has not withstood the test of time....

Here's Steve Brodner's take at the same gig. I wouldn't want to meet that guitarist in a dark alley!...

Sounds fun Hal, I'll mark the date!

Thanks, Hal - I'm sure looking forward to it! The music will be great, as well as the surroundings and the very lively bar.

Randy, Well that and the fact that Quarter-Tones are too foreign to western ears. H.

Dave, in answer to your question why not use one of them drawings on the invite, I had no idea Leo ever did a drawing of the band, and Brodner's sketch's whereabouts were unknown to me. Plus I got other suggestions on the design of the announcement and in the end I went with the most simple quick solution. I know, sounds like plausible deniability. I think this show is gonna be tight, based on the rehearsals, maybe better than ICON3. Leo, your sketch is great!

Also, Leo, I like the way you added the subliminal of me giving the finger on guitar. You are so bad!
