As Tim said, “Ok, kids, Don Giovanni Records is putting out the new Up Around The Sun record and this time it\u2019s a book with toy camera photos I took of visionary environments that Beth and I have been to with portraits I did of each artist. There is a download for the music in it and you can preorder starting today!

“Self Taught”<\/strong> is a collection of paintings, portraits and collages done over the course of his life, and the work is an expression of the spirit of DIY and creating for creation’s sake. Kerr has always rejected the impulse to define art or music by categorizing it into a specific genre and throughout his music and visual art career, has preferred to color outside the lines rather than adhere to any one definition of “art” or, for that matter, punk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
