Flavour Artist Series Tee Featuring Russ Davidson

GYEAHHH!!!

The final frontier in our four part Artist Series Tees comes from Russ Davidson.







Here's a few words from our boy!

Hey Russ, you are known for you're song writing and guitar shredding, namely RIKERS right now, but your tee shirt design turned out amazing, so do you find that art and music go hand in hand?

RD
I'd say visual art and music are completely different creative outlets for me. Music tends to be more of a stressful thing.. but stressful in a good way! whereas painting and such usually calls for a bottle of wine, solitude and my fav records spinning.

MW
Your website is www.itsonlyrockandrollart.blogspot.com, how do you choose your subjects for you're pieces to paint?

RD
It usually has to do with their historical importance in music. They're all hugely influential and still relevant to this day. It helps that for the most part they're all style icons as well.

MW
I heard through the grapevine there will be a HUGE live event New Year's Eve, can you tell people about that?

RD
New Years Eve should be a fun one! Mikey and Bryan's band 'The Lumberman' are playing as well as a fantastic young band called 'Meteor Empire' and my band Rikers have some shenanigans planned. It's all taking place at the Red Dog.

MW
Here it is, the desert island question, what record would you have to have with you?

RD
Hmmm. Thats really hard to say. I mean... would I actually have a record player? and electricity to boot?? I'd probably go with a DJ Ralph mixtape, or a Bowie record... 'Hunky Dory' maybe.
