Artist's Comments

Dia de los muertos, but Celtic.

In the back, we have a crowd going wild, vellum texture and goofy gradients. 'Framing the title' we have two heads on a stick, one looking at the musicians, one looking at the title. Our musicians are... well.. dead. They're ghosts, surrounded by a Otherworldy glow and their blue colour.

In the front, a dead guy.. already missing an eye (blasted crows!). Rotting away with his decay resembling an eerie smile.

From the back;
"Happy Songs of Death" is a joyful juxtaposition of the morbid and the comic that celebrates murder ballads, the Black Death and starving to death. Celtic songs, American songs - and notably several of Marc Gunn's original compositions all affirm that death is just the other side of life! Artists through the centuries have found inspiration in these same themes. Join Marc Gunn in a fresh look at all things mortal.

"Life does not cease to be funny when people die anymore than it ceases to be serious when people laugh." - G. B. Shaw

"We have doomed the Wolf not for what it is, but for what we have deliberately and mistakenly perceived it to be.. the mythologized epitome of a savage, ruthless killer.. which is in reality no more than a reflexed image of ourself."
