Shepard x George Clinton

April 19, 2012

I met Parliament/Funkadelicateer and G-Funk godfather George Clinton a couple years ago when he stopped by a mural I was working on in Miami. He was super cool and told me about some art he was working on. A couple days ago his assistant said he was in LA and wanted to stop by my studio. I grabbed a couple of his records I could find in my disorganized crates of vinyl and we had an impromptu hangout session. I got to hear stories about other Detroit friends of his and favorites of mine like Iggy Pop, The MC5, Smokey Robinson and the Motown crew, and Alice Cooper. What an honor and treat for me to get to hang with Dr. Clinton. Here are some Atomic Dog drawings he did on my records…BAM!!!! Thanks for all the music man!
