  • Hamell not only records music, performs live, does independent writing, he also paints. All of the images below, and many you see as the accompanying artwork on the digital releases, are Hamell paintings. These vary in size and price, but are all acrylic on canvas. Hamell paints scenes inspired by the 'underground' and 'disenfranchised' of our society. Ed uses bold and bright colors in his paintings which contrast the darker subject matter, championing the underclass, drawing you into the characters he depicts, endearing you to them and sparking emotions one might not anticipate.Hamell is also available for specific painting commissions.

about

Cathartic telling the truth isn't it?

lyrics

Your Grandma and Grandpa, drank and drank, now that I'm a parent, I know why. That's just a taste of my wicked sense of humor, you'd better have one until you die. You'd better laugh, you'd better laugh, you'd better laugh until you die

Your Grandma and Grandpa were married 50 years, then your Grandma lost her mind. Your grandpa killed her and then he killed himself so he wouldn't get left behind. you'd better love, you'd better love, you'd better love until you die.

Your Grandpa once told me, when we were drunk, he didn't know nothing as a boy. And now he was 80, he still didn't know nothing, told me to slow down and enjoy. you'd better try, you'd better try, you'd better try, until you die.
