This is Robbie’s first full-length album. All of his work is great though. Robbie is one of those artists who crosses the bridge between Roots rock/Pop/Swing country/ Roots country / bluegrass and modern country. He sings like Jimmy Dale Gilmore, and probably could have held his own in Bob Wills band. His cynical witty songs are fun. He came to SF a few years back on a weeknight. There was about 4 people there, we had a good talk. He blows away any major country act that exists today. If you like Neko Case, Lucinda Williams or Dave Alvin, you would love Robbie.

Scott puts all other digital artists to shame. Scott uses a combination of vector and raster software to produce his pieces. Many of the photographic images are digital photos he has taken himself or scans. In reality Scott’s work is a combination of photography / draftmanship / colorization. A lot of the drawings you see in the images were done with a mouse or a Wacom tablet. No clicky-click for Scott. When he had his last exhibit he explained that some of his images contain over 90 layers (do that with a lite-table and onion skin paper, no thanks). Scott works as a font geek and Apple scripter and does his digital art in his free time. He also is a talented graphic designer, writer and comic book collector.

I have a small print of the dragster image and a very large piece of his from his Washington Pavilion exhibit on my TV room ceiling (wasn’t enough wall space to hang it).
