it's weird that this iconography has moved from "Died in their prime" to just dead, with Zappa, Entwisitle, Joey Ramone, George Harrison. Like, everyone is gonna be there soon. How'd they leave Strummer out, say?

I'd like to see a "27 Club" illustration with Jimi, Janis et al at a collective 28th birthday party in heaven, candles and cake and all. Maybe Jim'll Paint It would oblige.

the club 27 one is cursed, particularly amy and jimi's heads, an inch from touching eyeballs, yet completely unaware of each-other.

I think it would be helpful if each poorly drawn person were holding something to identify them. In the manner of medieval saint paintings or the way, in the first picture, Amy WINEhouse is holding WINE.
Marc Bolan: smoking a bowl
John Bonham: eating a bon-bon
Jimi Hendrix: holding a live hen
Kurt Cobain: eating corn on the... cob
etc.

If Cobain knew he would be immortalized in these shitty paintings, he would have thought twice about checking out.

Mercury putting Hendrix in a headlock and pointing with a "This guy! Am I right?!" is a nice new spin on the genre

oh well, well they’re all there
For the first I think I put in “a cheesy poster of Janis Joplin jamming with other dead rock stars in a bar” or something. I originally had Hendrix and Cobain in the prompt too but it rejected that on the “no famous people” rule (sorry, Janis).The expansion on the second one was similar but without the name I think.

TIL: the artist who first painted the Elvis, Bogart, Marilyn, Dean version of Nighthawks At The Diner was the same artist who painted the album cover for The Scorpions' Blackout.
