Happy Birthday, Nels Cline!
Would be musician posing as an art student.
Still cries at a good film.
Still kisses with saliva.
Pleased to meet you.
My name is Dan.

Some concept art and web imagery I created for Nine Inch Nails in 2003/2004 based around the NIN album concept for “Bleedthrough.” The album eventually changed conceptually and became “With Teeth,” and so the artwork changed as well. But I still have a fondness for this material, much of which was created by dragging paper through a broken but resilient old printer.
Today is the passing of a man I have gained so much respect for while I’ve studied him. A man with an aptitude in music. A man who was there for everybody. A man Jim could count on. A tall standing man who had enough charm to make anybody like him. These slender fingers will no longer touch the keyboard in a graceful manner. The glasses that complete the look will no longer be worn. The deep voice. The organist. Gone.
We mourn but we should not sulk.
He may be gone, but every little detail lives on.
Ray brought joy and art to musical culture. All good must end, as cheesy as it sounds. Why think about the bad? There is nothing that can or could’ve been done. We should come together in the name of the classic rock fandom, and celebrate the fucking awesome life Ray had. Because the music still lives on.
It will always live on.
