Chris Dowd played keyboards and sang for the band Fishbone. They were one of my favorite bands to see live and listen to on record. I still listen to their albums from the late eighties.I found this picture in the garage and always thought it was a powerful image.
I like how Chris D. hair is in silhouette and the background trees share the same elements. Stussy is a brand of clothes sold thru the california beach community.
I remember Chris asking me to hold his jacket while her went to talk to a girl in a store on Melrose in Hollywood, California when I was 17. This ad was probably around Summer 1986 after their first EP.
