NEWS Update 1/10/2021
Working on getting the online store filled up now. I'm going to add shirts soon. Just added a greeting card set and some hand painted plaques. going through my vinyl collection too and will have some records posted soon. I have been getting back into records lately and I got my old stereo system hooked up and working great. Been playing Jayhawks last two a lot, I got They Might Be Giants Linconl and Flood on colored vinyl too. Have not heard those two in years. some new Jazz too. Art Balkey and the Jazz Messengers Moanin, Lee Morgan's The Cooker and on the way is Coltrane's Love Supreme.
I thought about doing some blogging but decided to save my stories for my next comic book which I am getting close to putting together but I want all the content to be good and not just filler so it's taking some time. I'm not writing comics based on the lockdown, but I did make a painting that took most of 2020 to finish called Harbortown Lockdown. I made a few prints of it that are available in my store now. If you click the brown ad above it will take you to the online store.
I'm working on a few different record projects for Nomad Eel Records and I did some work recently for Big Ego and Joyful Noise Records too. I also made a new book cover for Punk Hostage Press that will be out soon called $100 motel by dan denton which is a good read. I have been working a lot with Punk Hostage Press. We just made a new cover color way for Jack Grisham's Untamed for it's second printing. I did many illustrations for Iris Berry's All that shines under the Hollywood Sign. Check that one out! Full of Hollywood stories and drawings. You can get them on Amazon. Pretty sure you can get Code Blue by Jack Grisham that I did a few drawings in color... in it's second printing now.
So I did a full color cover drawing for Mike Watt's split single on Nomad Eel Records that sold out really quick. The 45 rpm version of that is on the way soon. I have another project with Mike Watt on the way soon. More on that really soon.
I hope you are all doing alright out there. I miss the hugs. In addition to the fear and anger out in the world I also see kindness, caring and people looking out for each other. The media blitz just brings fear. Call your folks and tell them you love them. If you love someone tell them. Don't be afraid to tell people you love them.
Thank you all for the tremendous support this year. People came out to my show in small safe numbers and many of you bought art from the show. I'm grateful I could share this work with you all. Most of it was done in the last 15 years or so and what's left will go in storage and saved as paintings of my youth and I will enter into the next phase of my life as an artist.
Laurie at Cornelius Projects still has lots of small affordable pieces from the show still available, so call her up and check out what's left while she still has my art. Thank You all so much for making it such a success during an impossible time.
I Love You all so much! Big virtual hugs from me- Scott

This is a great record and I am so glad to have been part of it in a small way. What you have is Chris Schlarb backed by four different bands including Dream Syndicate. He also made 1,2,and 3 and this is number four. I also did a shirt design for his studio BIG EGO in Long Beach, CA that were really popular. Check out BIG EGO they make records too.

records i am spinning now
If you love psychedelic music I recommend these three. Dream Syndicate, Psychic Temple and The Third Mind (Dave Alvin and guests) I made a cartoon insert for Psychic Temple and it's really good...these three are great. I would ask Fingerprints in Long Beach, CA if they have them or ask a local shop.
