I've seen a number of paintings and pieces of art by Chris Mars, in Science Fiction Age and other places. It wasn't until I read that cover story on him in that Left of the Dial magazine that I realized he is the same Chris Mars that used to drum for the Replacements. He specializes in images of grotesquery, not unlike a Ralph Steadman style. Judging by the prices on the paintings, he's making a better living as an artist than he did as a musician. ens, and have a 120 pound dog but need cash from passers by to feed themselves and their animal. I don't own a leather jacket or Doc Martens, so give me some money. I'm too punk to work my own damn self.
