Rob K and I recently found a great addition to the Purgatory project. We were looking for the right artist to help us put together a package for a planned CD and for our digital releases for the Purgatory Home Companion, and our old friend Stephen Holman has agreed to help. Stephen, Rob and I have known each other since the 1980s, when we were all participants in the seamy but creative East Village scene. Since that time all three of us have moved west – Stephen lives in Los Angeles now, Rob in Hawaii and I am in San Francisco. But we’re all in touch via the magic of Facebook and the odd visit, and Rob and I are very happy that Stephen has added his talents to the mix.
