I am an artist. I believe that creative people have the ability to express things we all feel and think about but never say or articulate and when I went through the hardest times in my life, I wrote a lot of it and I figure others will connect with it as well,” said Strangely.

Strangely is a fan favorite at pop culture conventions across the nation and is most well known as a visual artist and writer. His dark sense of humor paired with creepy, yet impressive stylized art has garnered him national popularity among art collectors and fans of his illustrated books and comics. His creative career began in Las Vegas in the 80s & 90s deep in the rockabilly scene with a psychobilly surf band called “The Sweat Hogs” and dabbled into the punk and surf bands scene with Apollo 14, Man Or Astroman, The Vermin and The Latest Flames. Strangely was also a substitute bass player for a band that’s quite famous now called The Killers.

At the end of the day, I believe that songs can be a profound source of connection and that one honest song can touch a million hearts—that music is our direct connection to our souls and to each other,” said Strangely.

Album background

The songs on this album are stories or illustrated feelings about what I’ve gone through in my life. Although entertaining, this album illustrates the ugliness and hard times, I’ve experienced for over a decade when writing them.  The cover art of the cd is me walking/going through hell…flip the cd over and you will see me leaving hell.

As a bonus upon completion of reaching the goal, the underground artist icon will license and record his own Eccentric Outlaw version of “Black Hole Sun” by Soundgarden with a personal thank you to each backer.
