Line Out - Comments on Jeffrey Lewis: Fucking Awesome http://lineout.thestranger.com/2008/02/jeffrey_lewis_is_fucking_awesome Jeffrey Lewis is fucking awesome.

what planet is this guy from, anyway? he's fucking rad!

I have one with a sunset on it. Their are gulls and the horizon line goes across the chest. Everything above is orange-ish, everything below is blue.
