For some people art is work — there are all kinds of reference photos, and layers, and sketches upon sketches — but Sam McKenzie is clearly one of those rare breed that can just draw whatever they see in their heads directly, and it will look perfect every time. He is also one of those people who’s work makes me think of Mountain Dew fueled speed metal jam sessions with friends, where one of the guys just bangs on an overly distorted guitar with a screwdriver. Hot chicks, surly dudes, and a bunch of non-sequitur phrases…and who am I kidding, he had me at hot chicks. Thank you, Sam McKenzie for amping up my rock n’ roll spirit through the heavy, gray fog of morning. And in case you are ever interested in having a jam, I play a mean fucking screwdriver.
