For all the magical moments spent performing, I gotta imagine that life as a touring musician has plenty of shortcomings. Set aside the extended drives and junk food sustenance, there are undoubtedly hours of monotony and boredom. In those instances it pays to have a hobby to occupy the time.
Two Cow Garage’s Shane Sweeney appears to have found an enjoyable was to pass the time. While on a recent tour, he set pen to paper and began producing what has become a steady stream of lyric-driven art work. Each piece contains a simple drawing based on a song lyric. The artists whose songs Sweeney has selected have been intriguing, ranging from Lucero to the Bee Gees.
Below are a few personal favorites. Like what you see? Sweeney is selling these one-of-a-kinds and even takes commissions. View more and get purchase details here.
