    ARTWORK
    While working in Carnaby street in the 80's
    I was aksed many times by friends if I could paint designs on their leather jackets.
    It was a trend at a time and so I did a few  and it was grreat fun.
    Here's a small selection,

    I also did a large ink portatrait of Paul KOSSOFF
    from the band FREE and one of my all time favourite guitarists
    It was illustrated inside the double LP entitled KOSSOFF "BLUE SOUL"

    The point?
    ARTWORK in JEWELLERY go hand in hand together.

    KEITH RICHARDS/VINTAGE GUITAR./1952 GIBSON LES PAUL
    What . KEITH RICHARDS, VINTAGE MAGAZINE,1952 GIBSON LES PAULS
    and CRAZY PIG DESIGNS have all in common?
    Well Keith Richards is featured on the cover of the latest Vintage Guitar magazine
    Of course KR is also a Cazy Pig Designs customer
    on page 85 of the March 2012 you ll see the following advert
    TRAPEAZE SOLUTION
    This device has been designed and created by Armand Serra owner and designer of
    CPD, after years of frustration with the original 1952 GIBSON LES PAUL gold toips
    "more than useless" trapeze tailpiece.Something had to be done!
    The TRAPEAZE SOLUTION website
    has been created for any guitarist that owns
    a real and original 1952 or early 1953 GIBSON LES PAUL
    and wants it to play it like the later models  ( 1954 onwards).
    It took about 2 years to get it finally sorted out
    and 60 years since the LESTER POLFUS (Rhubarb RED)
    creation " THE GIBSON LES PAUL" to get it working  properly
    Like ALICE COOPER would say..
    HELLO,,,,HURRAY! Let the show begin!
