'Hey, Keith......'

'Hey, Keith!-----AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHAAAAAAGH!!!!'

The above primal scream was the opening introduction to the track I FEEL ALRIGHT, a cover of an Iggy and the Stooges tune, that features as a closing song on the debut album by early, first-generation punksters THE DAMNED

ALBUM:  DAMNED DAMNED DAMNED, catalogue number SEEZ1, Stiff Records, early 1977, the first bona-fide UK punk album, pre-dating both the Pistols and the Clash.



This platter is still more than likely my favorite single studio album put out by anyone ever, and it most certainly was in my mis-spent youthful days.

Anyway, I have used this snippet of Damned song intro to usher in my winning design for a recent customer, a very straightforwards, very commercial interpretation of a character dreamed up by another dude, but I was given free reign to draw it how I wanted, which is always a nice route from my point of view.

Meet:



KEITH THE LEAF, a copanion piece character to good old RONALD RAINDROP.
