Hey! Wanna Win This Wicked Black Keys Poster?

My pal April at NOW THiS SOUND iS BRAVE is celebrating the second anniversary of her blog by giving away this supa-cool Black Keys zombie poster.  To enter the running for the baby, 

"you’ll have to tell us about an important music moment in your life. Be it funny or touching or something that will make us all want to slash our wrists, whether it involves playing music, listening to music or meeting a music hero, as long as it was important, influential and memorable to you we want to read about it. The sharer of the best music moment, judged by my own indefinable I’ll-know-it-when-I-see-it standards, will win my extra Black Keys zombie poster to have, to hold and to scare young children with. The deadline for entry will be 5 PM EST on January 26, and I will announce the winner on the NTSIB anniversary, January 27..."

Good Luck! I can't wait to read your stories.

The Art of JUSTiN DeGARMO

Going back thru some files I came across a couple images that Chris Johnson had sent me ages ago of some Black Keys-related art work. I asked Chris to remind of the story behind this work:

Back in 2005, The Black Keys put that lawnmower painting on their website as the home page. I searched out the gallery that had it for sale, but it was already sold. I contacted the artist and we worked out a commission piece. Justin Degarmo lives in Phoenix, and I met him there on a trip and picked up my original (the van):

Here’s his website.

Here’s the illustration of the lawnmower on his website

I also purchased another piece he had for sale in a charity auction. A lunchbox he painted. His isn’t the one I purchased, but similar.

Another website with more of his work.

Justin did the 2007 original deep blues logo with the guitar player. I have it on display the bbq.
