I mentioned in the last post that my husband Tac, gave me a wonderful Christmas present. I love art (very picky though), I love Billy Corgan’s music; therefore I could not help but feel smitten when I saw a beautiful, thoughtful piece of art with Billy on the guitar.
Shannon Palmer is the artist, she and Tac have both received an ear full of me fawning on and on about it. Without me knowing, Tac contacted Shannon and he had to have been pretty excited with the knowledge that he was giving me the best Christmas present ever.
She also sent her pencil sketch and water color “rough drafts” to display with the finished product. That is infinitely cooler than something that was already perfect to begin with. I am still frame shopping, but have not found the right sizes yet. I also might enlist the help of my brother Adam– hey Adam want to help me?– he is very creative.
I love the colors and layers in this picture. Billy’s face is sweet and sincere; just like how I hear his voice. It contrasts so nicely with the big black electric guitar that we all know he can wail on so well. That, along with a voice that no one can touch, is what makes Billy Corgan so unique and special. He has the ability to soothe with a lullaby of a love song, rich with emotion and depth, while rocking your socks off. He encompasses mild to screaming with rage, flawlessly. Shannon knows all of this too, it was a labor of love for her.
I see all of that every time I look at this picture, so I’m a little excited to get it on my wall.

you’re making me blush!!
seriously though, thank you Jen! I’m so happy that you like it; you know just how much it meant to me to be able to do some work for billy, and I know you appreciate it as much as I do.
I couldn’t think of anyone better to trust with it.
