Description
Dee Dee Ramone is a legend and one of the inventors of the Punk Rock genre. But he’s also family. Born Douglas Colvin, he was my first cousin…. my dad’s brother’s son. When I was in high school, I started seeing him in the rock magazines I would buy, and he was a big inspiration to me as a musician. But all of that aside, he was just one of the coolest rockstars ever. The leather jacket…the ripped jeans. I tried to capture that in this painting.
