Inspired by "Palmetto" from Clear Pond Road
Printed on 300gsm Ivory Linen finish card, using Black archival water based ink
🎵 Old school music flyer art
I have very much fallen in love with 'Clear Pond Road', and 'Palmetto' is a song that won't stay out of my head... Junkie Days Inn sounds like a place you'd go see Hersh... This is an incredibly unpopular print as a T-Shirt, This was one of the original four ElRat shirts that I made for KH, right back when ElRat Designs first started. It has sold maybe three shirts in that time, I find this hilarious, I have said before, more than once, that I only make T-Shirts for myself, and stand by it as a great print. Maybe its the art, maybe people just aren't as into that song as much as I am. Maybe it'll be more popular as an art print than a t-shirt! Either way, nothing has changed in my mind, I still I absolutely love the song, and the shirt... and now the print... in the end, that's the only part of the equation that matters. Personally approved by The One Kristin Hersh, and only available from ElRat Designs. Available now as a print, also available on a T-Shirt
🎨 Hand-Drawn, Hand-Pulled Screen Print
I have Aphantasia, which means I can't visualise in my head, so I have to draw something, to be able to see it, sometimes I get it right straight away, but sometimes it takes a while for me to find what I need. This didn't end up how I had originally planned at all. I had a different idea in my head, but this came to me in the moment, and completely took me by surprise. Hand-pulled with archival water-based ink on thick 300gsm card, all prints are supplied unframed.
💰 Affordable Original Art
These prints are probably cheaper than they should be for genuine hand-pulled screen prints, but I want to find that balance - getting my art into the world while keeping it accessible. Every Hersh purchase directly funds Kristin Hersh studio time. Every ElRat purchase supports my art and my ability to keep doing what I do.
🖤 The ElRat Paradox
I am an artist who doesn't "love" visual art. I would never go to an art gallery, never look at an art book. I know nothing of other artists, or their work. Aphantasia means I have no visual memory, and it's hard to love something you can't remember. I *LOVE* drawing, it calms my head like nothing else, and I do like the pictures I make, but I can look back, even just a couple of days in my sketchbook, and have absolutely no memory of the picture there. I only really make art for the love of making it. They are intense, and scrappy because they have to be, I can't come back to a picture because as soon as I turn away, I forget it exists. So when I start, I have to finish before I lose concentration. Because for me, drawing is the point, not the pictures. If other people like it, I consider that an honour.
🌱 The ElRat Experience
Every order ships in plastic-free packaging I usually have some extras hanging around - test prints & the like, I love to send you something a little extra in your package. I always want ElRat packages to be a little sliver of light in the chaos, I only send packages I would love to receive. All prints are supplied unframed.
