Don Van Vliet, aka Captain Beefheart died on December 17th. I was so busy with City of Craft that I didn't even know until days later. Not only was Captain a mindblowing and innovative musician, but he was an abstract painter too. He will always be one of my favourites. Do yourself a favour and treat yourself to a Captain Beefheart Youtube orgy, or a Captain Beefheart album (Safe as Milk, Trout Mask, or Lick My Decals Off Baby, preferably!) today.
Don Van Vliet's painting's can be found here.
