(c) 1999 Elton Houck. This is vol. 2 of Texas Twister Records compilation series THE GREATEST INDIE ARTISTS IN THE WORLD. This volume features bands and singers from all around the world including artists from the USA, England, Canada, Norway, Switzerland,and Australia. I did all artwork for the six CDs in this series. On volume 2, the original art work was done on 5" X 7" paper using colored pencils and pastels. The title for the original art work was "Head shop, Head Shop" which was a spoof of the name for those erswile shops that sold equipment for people that were partakers of that infamous Loco weed..My parody was they should have had heads on the shelves instead of rolling paper and bongs. If they were true to their endeavors they would have named their establishments "dope rope and crazy smoke shop," inbstead of head shop. The zoomed shot is the music credits. This CD series was aired around the world by indie radio and DJs.
