The Clash's Paul Simonon shows off his artwork

He doesn't play music much anymore and that magnificent punk rock pompadour is long gone, but Clash bassist Paul Simonon is keeping busy these days as a fine artist. His impressionistic bullfighting scenes and paintings of bacon and eggs could be considered kitschy, but they have a nice intensity to them.

(Until today I hadn't known that was him on the cover of London Calling, smashing that bass. Apparently he's regretted it ever since, as it was his favorite bass!)
