Jeffrey Lee Pierce 7-day devotional candle, American Punk, blues singer and guitar player of the controversial and underappreciated band Gun Club. Sometimes known as, Elvis From Hell. Honor the genius!
I was given permission by by his sister and estate holder to bring this homage to you, but, I also want to be sure to respect his spiritual beliefs and when I made the image, I was purely going off inspiration from his music and struggles (that we all experience in some way) BUT, even though I depicted him as a reluctant punk angel,
Jeffrey became a Buddhist towards his end and was called "Shaku Chi Ken“ Buddha who sees talent in others when he died.
"Carry home to where I am from
Carry to the place that I have come
Carry to the dust and flies behind me
Carry to the cracks and caves on the face of me
Oh, but I didn't change, I just had to work
Oh, but I didn't change, I just had to work
And now I'm home and now I'm home"
May he guide us home into the fire of love towards freedom from suffering.
