  • 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

I had borrowed a Fostex 4-Track cassette recorder from a kid who worked at my local Brooklyn guitar store and had set it up on my dining room table in my apartment in Brooklyn. I was just testing it out, going, "Hey you, Go Fuck Yourself." Probably raging spontaneously to one of my in-laws for being a dead beat dad. This was a first take rough draft sort of thing but I loved it and was going to put it in the middle of the record where the 'Shout Outs' currently are. My manager at the time, Jane Friedman who had managed Patti Smith, Nico, John Cale among others demanded I make it the lead off track. She was right of course. Rumor has it it's one of Tony Visconti's, producer extraordinaire, favorite songs.
