Measuring approx. 30x20 inches, this piece (along with the Indy piece) was beautifully printed by the masterful hands of Steve Horvath and his crew at the mighty D & L Screenprinting. Sporting amazing pastel shades and a brilliant color fade, this poster glows. The imagery is a riff on the classic Zeppelin 'Swan Song' label icon. The original 'Swan Song' label image is not original at all, actually. William Rimmer was an obscure American painter, who created an image in 1870 entitled "Evening" or the "Fall of Day": it depicted the god Apollo (though some like to think of the being as Icarus, or a fallen angel.) This picture was adopted by Led Zeppelin as the "Swan Song" logo and appears on many releases. Jermaine did his take on the Rimmer image, making the figure a tragically fallen, and very crooked, vulture.
