Here's the 2nd piece of artwork from UK KISS fan Jonathon Gough. This time a very cool shot of the band from the Crazy Nights era.

UK KISS fan Jonathon Gough has sent in a few paintings that he has been working on over the past few years. They're created with soft pastels, oil pastel and acrylic paint.

First one is Revenge era Eric, Paul, Gene & Bruce.

Just heard the news that fellow KISS Army member & Iconic Eye bassist Gary Slater has sadly passed away. I personally met Gary at several KISS shows and he was a great guy, very approachable and had lots of time for other fans. Gary wrote a great trip report about his Cobo Hall adventure here: https://www.kissinuk.com/kisscr48.htm

RIP Gary (Grunge on the forum), you will be missed.
