Painting up our coffee table and guitar

I’m busy painting some stuff on our coffee table, bought at habitat for humanity for $11.00. It’s a work in progress and I’ve spent about 12 hours on the table top, drawing it up and painting with acrylics. The center crow design I pinched from an artist named Daniel Martin Diaz, and I incorporated a few other things that I like into the design. The lotuses, orobus snake, eye and hand come from several esoteric and mystical books.

My son wanted a tune up on his acoustic guitar so we tried to strip the finish off the body which is VERY difficult. I abandoned the idea and taped off and sprayed the body a satin black and went to town on it with 3 different sized white Deco color paint pens from art supply warehouse. There is a lot of dots on this guitar!! Still working on the guitar back I don’t know how many hours I’m into this! I doodle on it when I’m sitting around with everyone.

Tones on Tail Daniel Ash

These are a few photos I took of Daniel Ash from 1984 when he was in Tones on Tail
they were performing at Music Machine in west L.A. great show and packed with audience!
We had seen Bauhaus the two nights they played at the Roxy in 1982 and were eagerly awaiting thier return.   Loved the Tones on Tail and Burning Skies E.P.'s
