happy birthday rowland s howard, dandy-goth prince of dadaist violence and the best guitarist of the past century. gone too soon, but boy did you spoil us while you were here.

skinny australian white boy in all black holds a copy of the swamp thing comic while cocking his head to the side, cigarette held between his lips. he is strange, beautiful, something between an elf and a bird of prey. it's rowland s howard of iconic postpunk bands boys next door, the birthday party, crime and the city solution, these immortal souls, and his solo work.
