Even More Band Art: Help the Five Insane Hillbillies Find Their Truck!

in #art7 years ago (edited)

I used to have this band called Shindig Shop.

While uploading some of my music for an upcoming post, I found this poster art for my old band Shindig Shop. How these five insane hillbillies ended up becoming recurring characters in the band’s art, I’m still not sure, but it was probably because the band’s mascot was an old green truck, and the truck needed a driver.

Find the Band’s Mascot in the Drawing If You Can

Here we have the five insane hillbillies riding on a flying carpet, and there seems to be a lot going on down below, but can you spot the old green truck? It’s in there! The truck is featured in many of the Shindig Shop posters, and is but one of the tiny details in the background in this drawing.

Now, take the quiz!

Why Are Five Insane Hillbillies Riding A Flying Carpet?

  • A. It's fun.
  • B. The truck is in the shop.
  • C. They were trying to get high.
  • D. All of the above.

    Watch This Page For a Shindig Shop Song Soon

It was one of those songs that writes itself.

The song is called Miracle Man, and was written around 1988, or it wrote itself around that time. When you hear it, you’ll hear a composition that just piped itself out of me completely structured, and all I had to do was add lyrics.

In an upcoming post, the song's lyrics and the meaning behind them will be explored, so be sure to check back around for that. I hope that you enjoyed the art, and good luck finding that green truck!

The truck is in the top right, I think..
And the hillbillies are smiling, so it must be fun 😀

That is correct! Those guys are always smiling for some reason.

Imagine that!

Off course they are..
They are flying on a carpet
If I had a flying carpet, I would smile forever

I like your drawing specially the colors made the weather looks so nice.

Thanks for looking, I'm happy that you like it.

Thank you for that!

You are welcome

I also like music, and what if the music is a good equalizer do not sleep in the driver also I want.

i guess the truck is somewhere in the top right ..and its fun to ride a flying carpet thats y they might be doing it ...looking forward to your next post

Yep, you found it! Thanks for looking.

Would somebody please just save that cat!

Oh... and the answer is F.

I know that cat-- it's those birds that need saving, I tells ya.

You've chosen F as the answer to the quiz; judges say, "Fuck it." F is correct!

Fuck it. I win.

😄😆😃😂😁...lol....fuck the cat on the pole....

It's an amazing drawing filled with puzzles
I think they were flying because it's fun.

That's why I would fly on the magic carpet, for fun. I would hope the truck was in the garage!

the old green truck was different beside the house near the electric pole. and a nice painting comrade

You found it! Thanks for looking.

nice painting my friend

Thank you!

same as my friend .. i am very happy when you visit my blog once friend

Is that the Shindig Shop itself, up top on the hilltop? Looks like the mascot is parked right beside it there.

I love the attention to detail that went into this! There's so much going on and the scene really does feel "alive" without appearing too "busy." Thanks for sharing-- I'm looking forward to hearing "Miracle Man."

EDIT: I forgot to answer the quiz! D, of course.

Yes, the truck is in the shop, or near it at least. And D is the correct answer! ding ding ding

The truck is in the shop
and All of the above. (cause I have to agree with Steppenwolf)

Correct! The truck is in the shop, perfect time for a magic carpet ride.

Guess they are heading to mars... The next Stop :)

Could be, I hope they have spacesuits!

I hope the flying carpet doesn't crash into electric wires.. Stay safe travellers

It does look like they are about to hit the wires-- pull up!

Though I didn't intend to show the flaw. It was kinda funny observation from my side Sir

They were supposed to fly over those wires, but when the drawing was finished, it looked like it was going to be a crash, and there was no way to change it.

Haha see i got it right then

There it is! Oh, wait, a new song? I had thought that I've heard all of the songs! What's this I hear about a new one!?

Why Are Five Insane Hillbillies Riding A Flying Carpet?

Let me break down my thesis by eliminating the other variables.

A. It's fun.

It is fun, but you know what isn't? Breaking the law. No seatbelts, no helmets, no steering mechanism and no license for any of the drivers. For shame.

B. The truck is in the shop.

The truch is near the shop. More accurately, outside the shop. The truck has been fixed for days, but none of the hillbillies have taken the time to fetch it. The shop had to turn away a couple of cars because they didn't have space. Irresponsible.

C. They were trying to get high.

No, sir, and let me tell you why. Carpets are not capable of flight, despite claims.

D. All of the above.

I think we've already established that everything else above is wrong.

The answer is E. They're already high.

For anyone reading this, you can claim your certifacates at Window 4. Although, you do have to complete the payment of your tuition at the Cashier window. After that, you're done! It's that simple. You have just been schooled.

True, I have hardly any new songs, but I've got loads of old ones that few ever heard, they'll probably start appearing here eventually though.

The worst part is, that there was nothing wrong with the truck, so not only is it taking up space at the garage, the mechanic didn't even make a penny for repairs.

Ahh jeez that does add a new wrinkly to the whole photo!

Why didn't you compile it for a second album though?

I never tried to sell the music- it was for the world. Then it would have cost money to produce and compile songs that I'd written, plus the time that I'd already spent somewhere else along the way. I'll still use my songs here occasionally to spread my planet-saving messages though. ;)

Trust that I will always support them!

These hillbillies are surely having fun....they are on the carpet which is flying and that is unnatural....so they must have given a try and now they are enjoying the ride ....#AladinCarpet

I'd like to have one of those rugs too, but I wouldn't want to walk anywhere if I had one.

I guess people on earth have already done that alot....it is time for revolution...revolutionary RUG.....no need to buy tickets anymore.....lol..

BTW amout of detail you added in there is great.....i am myself an amature artist....i know how much time it consumes.....this is what is called dedication to your passion...man keep it up....

Experience interesting friends and beautiful pictures ..
