Dear Blowhards --

Sorry to see that legendary British "rock cartoonist" Ray Lowry has died at 64. Lowry is most famous as the guy who came up with the concept for The Clash's "London Calling" record jacket, but he was also an exciting and witty cartoonist with a long history of work at Private Eye, Melody Maker, and Punch.

The Ray Lowry website features a selection of his art. Read a good obit here.

Best,

Michael

It's a great picture. It also strikes me as being posed because the movement of the guitar in relation to the body seems artificial. The arms and guitar would be higher for greater leverage if the guitar were really being smashed on the floor. But it could be with all those drugs flowing through those bad boys, they lacked a little dexterity.
