GENE SIMMONS WEARING MY ARTWORK

  One of the coolest things i got to do while working for Revolutionary Comics back in the day was design the logo for Hard Rock Comics, it was published on all their covers which was cool, but one day i was watching mtv and there was my childhood idol, Gene Simmons wearing our Hard Rock Comics logo t-shirt, man, i work in screenprinting and have designed thousands of t-shirt designs but that was the highlight of my career.
 Wow, i want to just say i think Kiss is the greatest rock band ever, when i grew up before the internet, dvds and stuff like that, if you ever got the chance to actually see Kiss on tv, now that was a treat, one of my favorite memories was on the Paul Lynde's Halloween Special when he introduced them, killer show. So for me to have the demon wearing something i drew it was really special to me, he also wore it in videos and photos that promoted Kiss Alive III.



 I've included some pics of gene wearing the shirt and also a picture i drew of him last year, it's just a quick marker sketch done while i was watching tv one night.

This was an old ad that was in all their comics selling the Hard Rock Comics T-shirt....



This was one of the Revolutionary Comics  Booths used at comic conventions and stuff....



In closing i just wanted to thank Kiss for all the great music and for all the fun and enjoyment i've had over the years listening to their music and watching their videos.
